I adopted this recipe during the Recipezaar Adoption, so I have not idea who Aunt Cora is, but she's got to be one great lady!!! I made these biscuits using Sourdough Starter # 67075 by KimmieOH and they are simply wonderful. I did use the butter flavor shortening and instead of letting them rise over hot water, I just sat them on top of the stove while the cake that was in the oven baked. They rose beautifully. Other than that, I made them exactly as directed. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups unbleached flour, sifted |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda (more baking soda may be added if the starter if very sour.) |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/4 cup shortening, melted |
1 1/2 cups sourdough starter |
Directions:
1. Place flour in bowl, add starter in a well, then add melted shortening and dry ingredients.
2. Mix lightly and turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead until the consistency of bread dough, or of a satiny finish.
3. Pat or roll out dough to 1/2 inch thickness, cut and put on a greased pan.
4. Coat all sides of biscuits with melted butter.
5. Let rise over boiling water for 1/2 hour.
6. Bake at 425 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes.
