Directions
-
In a large bowl, mix the sourdough starter, milk, and 1 cup of flour until smooth.
-
Cover the bowl and let the mixture rest at room temperature for 20 minutes to allow the starter to activate.
-
In a separate small bowl, combine the remaining 1 1/2 cups of flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and soda.
-
Sift the dry ingredients over the wet mixture in the large bowl.
-
Gently mix and knead the dough lightly until it comes together and is no longer sticky, but do not overwork it.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
-
Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out round biscuits, placing them close together in a 9x9 inch baking pan.
-
Dip the cut biscuits in warm bacon grease, melted butter, or a mixture of salad oil and butter.
-
Cover the pan and let the biscuits rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
-
Bake in a preheated 375&# 194;°F (190ðC) oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
