Fluffy Sourdough Biscuits

For this recipe, have everything ready in each bowl and be prepared to work quickly once you add the baking powder and soda to the liquid. It will foam up as you stir in the baking powder/soda and you need to add the dry ingredients at once before all of the bubbles are gone. If you work quickly, the bubbles are trapped in the dough and help make a light, fluffy biscuit. The dough is sticky and wet, and needs plenty of flour on the work surface to keep from sticking.
