If you want to use sourdough, mix in 1/2 cup of “unfed” starter at this time and eliminate the use of an egg in the recipe. Then prepare as directed.

Form the Biscuits

• On a lightly floured surface, press dough into a circle that is about 1/2″ thick. Cut out biscuits using a large (2-3/4″) biscuit cutter. This should give you 8-10 biscuits.
• Place biscuits in a 12″ cast iron skillet that has been sprayed with baking spray. Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown on top.
• Brush 2 tablespoons melted butter over the tops of the biscuits. Serve warm with butter and honey, or your favorite jelly or apple butter. Serves 6-10.
