Mary Rogers's Sourdough Biscuits
Ingredients:
1/2 cup active starter
1 cup milk
2 1/2 cups flour
1/3 cup lard or shortening
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Directions:
At bedtime, make a batter of the 1/2 cup of starter, 1 cup of milk, and 1 cup of the flour. Let stand overnight if biscuits are desired for breakfast. If desired for midday, the batter can be made in the morning and placed in a warm spot to rise. However, unless the weather is very hot, it is fine to let it ferment overnight. It will become very light and bubbly. When ready to mix the biscuits, sift together the remaining 1 1/2 cups of flour and all other dry ingredients except the baking soda. Work in the lard or shortening with your hands or a fork. Add baking soda dissolved in a little hot water to the sponge, then add the flour mixture. Mix into a soft dough. Knead lightly a few times to bring together. Roll out to about 1/2 inch thickness or a little thicker, and cut with a biscuit cutter. Place close together in a 9x13-inch pan, turning to grease the tops. Cover and set in a warm place to rise for about 45 minutes. Bake at 375
