I knew before my son was born that I wanted to do cloth diapers. You can argue they are more affordable in the long run versus disposable diapers. Also all the chemicals that can be found in diapers is almost horrifying. Just google it. You…

Sundays are special in our family. It is either the start of the week or the end of a week, depending on how you look at it. In our house we are usually always home on sundays, with no morning errands or appointments.
I like to take some time, preferably outside on the deck, with my coffee and the local sunday paper. Unwind. Recharge. Though, with a baby in the mix I don’t always get the same relaxation quiet time that I used to, but I do have the joy of sharing the time with my baby.
Our sundays usually, hopefully, start with a later than normal wakeup time, and a large sunday breakfast. The large CrackerBarrel kind of breakfast, that makes you want to skip lunch. Usually these breakfasts always involve eggs, a meat of some kind, and of course CARBS. This week I wanted to try out a new Sourdough discard recipe in the form of biscuits.
I have seen a lot of people on Pinterest using sourdough discards in their biscuits and loving the results. The sourdough being sour would logically be a replacement for something else sour like buttermilk, and everyone loves a good buttermilk biscuits. I found a lot of recipes for sourdough biscuits but opted to go with a King Arthur recipe because I have had good success with their recipe and they provide weight measurements of ingredients which I prefer
Of course I couldn’t follow the recipe to a T, I rarely do, and I made the following “tweaks”. This recipe is pretty basic but calls for AP flour, baking powder, and salt. Any time I see those three ingredients in a baked good my mind instantly wants to use Self Rising Flour as a substitute, because;
Its a great use for Self Rising Flour
Less steps
Less measuring
Less measuring cups/spoons to wash
[I am lazy]
So, I replaced the flour one for one with Self Rising flour. I then added 1 teaspoon of baking powder just to make sure there was enough lift. And in hindsight I wish I had added just a pinch of salt as well.
The other change I did was I cut my biscuits into squares using my bench scraper, rather than cut them with 2 inch biscuit cutters as the recipe states. I find this method just easier frankly, and then there is no rerolling of scraps.
After the biscuits were cut, I placed them on a silicon baking sheet but parchment would work as well, and then I covered each with an egg wash. This step is not necessary but the egg will give your biscuits that shiny sheen on top that I enjoy, as well as a more golden color than if left out. Again totally optional.
These biscuits were great! Super easy. Fast. I have already added the recipe to my collection and will definitely be making them again. You can do so many things with this basic recipe, such as a savory version with cheddar cheese and green onions. Or adding a tablespoon or so of sugar and using them for strawberry short cakes. Yum and Yum!
