I've made these biscuits and they're great! Only difference was the first time I made them they were too dry as I keep my sourdough starter very thick. Soooo, now when I make them I add enough buttermilk to the mixture to give me the consistency I need. I love these things with my eggs for breakfast.They are so light and fluffy with the combination of the starter AND the baking powder. DAR lady

These are soooo good. The onion just melts in your mouth, they are easy, fluffy. I got 10 and a baby one, had to bake mine for the full 18 min. and probably should have gone another min. or two.
