Time for more of Linda’s Sourdough Biscuits. However, I wanted to try something different. I folded cheese in for Sourdough Cheese Biscuits.
I mixed the flours, baking soda, salt and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
I cut the cold butter into the flour with a pastry blender until the mixture was the size of peas.
I added the sourdough starter and mixed until it was a ragged dough.
I turned the dough out onto a floured counter and pressed it to 3/4 inch thick. I spread the cheese over the top of the dough.
I folded the dough in half and pressed it flat. I turned it a quarter turn, folded it in half and pressed it flat again. Repeat until you have pressed the dough flat ten times.
Press the dough to 3/4 inch thick and cut the biscuits out with a biscuit cutter or a glass.
Bake the biscuits for 12 to 15 minutes at 425 F. Take them off the cookie sheet with a spatula.
The Verdict
I love the combination of sourdough and cheese. There is a nice cheddar taste and the texture is moist and delicate. These will make the best breakfast sandwiches.

They are tasty! Thanks for the kind words.
Before I even read your “verdict” I thought these would be amazing used for a breakfast sandwich…and a zillion times better than those drive-thru versions! Love you step-by-step photos and instructions!
You are very kind to an old fat guy. The muffins are tasty and I do hate the drive through!
I just made these. Following your recipe to a T, but adding 1/4 cup minced chives. Holy Cow- literally- oh my gosh these are out of this world! I don’t know how I won’t make them every single day
Thanks so much for the kind words!
