Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine sourdough starter, buttermilk, and 1 cup of flour in a large bowl.
  2. Cover the bowl and let the mixture stand at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours, or overnight.
  3. When ready to prepare, add the egg and oil to the mixture and stir well until combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl, combine sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  5. Sprinkle the dry ingredients over the wet batter.
  6. Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until a dough forms that can still be stirred (approximately 2 to 3 cups of flour should suffice).
  7. For Scones: Turn the batter out onto a heavily floured surface. Sprinkle with more flour and roll out the dough.
  8. Cut out scones using a cutter or knife.
  9. Allow the scones to rise for a few minutes, then fry on both sides in hot oil until golden brown.
  10. For Biscuits: Add enough additional flour to the dough to make it moderately stiff and kneadable.
  11. Knead the dough for a few minutes, then roll it out and cut out biscuits.
  12. Dip both sides of the biscuits in oil or melted butter and place them on a baking sheet.
  13. Let the biscuits rise for one hour in a warm place.
  14. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (191&# 194;°C) for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
