Grate the butter using a cheese grater, into a large mixing bowl. Add the flour and use a bench scraper or a fork to cut the butter into the flour until it forms small, pea-sized crumbles. Add the sourdough starter discard, buttermilk and sugar and stir with a stiff spatula until fully combined. Cover the bowl and let rise on the counter for 10-12 hours.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Combine the salt, baking soda and baking powder in a small bowl and use a fork to combine, making sure there are no lumps. Sprinkle half of the mixture over the dough and work it into the dough with your hands. Sprinkle the second half and continue to work it into the dough until fully combined.
