Ingredients

• 100 grams Organic grapes (unwashed)
• 120 grams All-purpose flour (starter)
• 120 grams Filtered water
• 250 grams All-purpose flour (biscuits)
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 85 grams Unsalted butter (cold)
• 120 grams Sourdough starter
• 120 milliliters Whole milk

Directions

Step 1

1. To prepare the sourdough starter, place the unwashed organic grapes into a clean jar or container. Cover with a mixture of 120 grams of filtered water and 120 grams of all-purpose flour. Stir to combine.

Step 2

2. Cover the jar loosely with a lid or clean cloth and allow it to sit at room temperature for 24 hours. Stir the mixture once a day for 4-6 days or until it begins to bubble and develop a tangy odor. Strain and discard the grapes, retaining the starter.

Step 3

3. To maintain the starter, feed it equal parts of flour and water (by weight) every day or whenever the starter becomes inactive.

Step 4

4. Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) to prepare the biscuits.

Step 5

5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the 250 grams of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.

Step 6

6. Grate or cut the 85 grams of cold butter into small pieces and rub it into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

7. Add 120 grams of the prepared sourdough starter and 120 milliliters of whole milk into the dry mixture. Stir until combined, but do not overwork the dough.

Step 8

8. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch-thick round. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out rounds, re-rolling scraps as necessary.

Step 9

9. Place the cut biscuits onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 10

10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with butter, jam, or honey.
