This heirloom culture makes batch after batch of traditional cultured buttermilk right on your countertop, easy as pouring milk in a jar. Bake with your buttermilk or add it to cream to make cultured butter.









INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cups flour
  • ¾ cup cultured buttermilk
  • 6 Tbsp. butter (very cold)
  • ¼ tsp. baking soda
  • 1 Tbsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt


INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Mix the flour and buttermilk together. Cover and soak 12-24 hours, or overnight. (If using sprouted flour, the soaking process can be skipped).
  2. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  3. Cut butter into chunks, then work it into the flour/buttermilk mixture along with the baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Do not over-mix. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit more buttermilk.
  4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat the dough out to ½-inch thickness. (Patting instead of rolling will yield lighter biscuits).
  5. Use a round cutter to cut out the biscuits. Place biscuits on a cookie sheet. If you want biscuits with soft edges (and a higher rise), place the rounds touching each other. If you want biscuits with crusty sides, place the rounds about 1 inch apart.
  6. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
