  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/3 cup lard or 1/3 cup shortening
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Directions:

  1. At bedtime make a batter of the half cup of starter, cup of milk, and 1 cup of the flour.
  2. Let set overnight if the biscuits are wanted for breakfast.
  3. If wanted for noon, the batter maybe mixed in the morning and set in a warm place to rise.

  5. It will get very light and bubbly.
  6. When ready to mix the biscuits, sift together the remaining cup and a half of flour and all other dry ingredients except the baking soda.
  7. Work in the lard or shortening with your fingers or a fork.
  8. Add baking soda dissolved in a little warm water to the sponge and then add the flour mixture.
  9. Mix into a soft dough.
  10. Knead lightly a few times to get in shape.
  11. Roll out to about 1/2 inch thickness or a little thicker,and cut with a biscuit cutter.
  12. Place close together in a 9 x 13-inch pan, turning to grease tops.
  13. Cover and set in a warm place to rise for about 45 minutes.
  14. Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 30 to 35 minutes.
  15. Leftovers are good split and toasted in a sandwich toaster.
