My grandma makes these every time we go over for dinner. I got my starter from her, so I too make these every couple weeks when I need to use up some starter. They are really fast and easy, and taste delicious right out of the oven.

Very good and very easy! I was just experimenting and wasn't really fixing these for a meal, but they were so good that I had to make up a pan of gravy to go with them. Granddaughter loved them!

    These were perfect. The starter adds an undefinable quality to the biscuits. I made half the recipe, which is just as well, as we would have eaten all of it at once. It's wonderful to be able to use the sourdough starter without having to wait for dough to rise. Next time I will try some additions, as pollen suggests. UPDATE: Ok, this is a bit embarrasing. I made these for dinner the first time - they were so good and i could not get them out of my mind, and I got up in the middle of the night to make another batch, adding a bit of asiago cheese to the dough. I've made them a couple of times since, and they always please.

    I made this with a very young sourdough starter so I think the flavor will develop the older the starter gets. I kneaded and folded the dough to get layers and by having the dough 3/4" thick the biscuits came out pretty tall; I might make them thinner next time (I got about 10? biscuis). Good hot (and buttered) out of the oven. The dough was easy to work with and they went together fast.
