1

The night before, add flour and butter to a bowl and cut the butter into pea-sized chunks.

2

Add sourdough starter, honey, and milk to the bowl and mix everything together.

3

Leave the mixture to ferment overnight.

4

The next day, add butter to a pan and chop onion and mince garlic, cooking them over the stove.

5

Add frozen mixed veggies to the pan and cook for about 10 minutes.

6

Roll out the fermented biscuit dough using a mason jar instead of a biscuit cutter, avoiding twisting the jar to ensure the biscuits rise.

7

Add a little flour to the cooked veggies to thicken the filling.

8

Pour in chicken bone broth, salt, and pepper, and simmer for about 10 minutes to thicken the filling.

9

Transfer the filling to a 9x13 baking dish and place the biscuit pieces on top, tucking them into the filling.

10

Bake at 400°F for 10 to 15 minutes until the biscuits puff up and turn golden brown.
