Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups organic all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain, nonfat, organic Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup plain, unsweetened, organic almond milk
- 1/2 cup sourdough discard
Cheese
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the Greek yogurt, almond milk, and sourdough discard to the dry mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms; if the dough feels excessively sticky, incorporate a few tablespoons more flour, but the dough should remain slightly stickier than traditional biscuit dough.
- Add Cheese: Fold in the freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese gently, ensuring it is evenly distributed without overmixing.
- Shape Biscuits and Bake: Scoop the dough into 12 portions and place them on the prepared baking sheet as lumpy blobs. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Optional Finishing Touch: After baking, brush the biscuits with a melted butter and parsley mixture for added flavor and an attractive glossy finish, if desired.
Notes
- These biscuits are best served warm, fresh out of the oven.
- You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the cheddar cheese with a vegan cheese alternative and ensure the yogurt and milk are plant-based.
- If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, reduce or omit the garlic powder.
- The sourdough discard adds a subtle tang and helps with the rise; do not omit for best results.
