Ingredients

  • 2 cups proofed Sourdough Batter(see Sourdough Batter 4/28)
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter or Crisco
  • 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk

Directions

Prepare your batter the night before. Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl and cut in the butter using a pastry blender. The flour mixture should resemble a grainy mix, something like cornmeal. Mix the milk with the batter and stir in the dry ingredients. Knead on a board for about 30 seconds. Roll the dough out about 1/2 inch thick and cut into circles with a glass or biscuit cutter. Place on a greased cookie sheet, giving the biscuits room to rise. Allow to rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Brush tops with melted butter or milk and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until they are puffed and golden brown
