2 c Proofed “Sourdough Batter”
2 1/4 c Flour
1 tb Baking powder
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 c Butter or Crisco
1/2 c Milk or buttermilk
These are light and sour. What more could you want of a biscuit than
that?
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 into 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 of biscuits with melted butter or milk and bake at 400? for
15 minutes or until they are puffed and golden brown.
