Biscuits are faster to make than bread – and 4th graders cannot wait!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 c primary batter (See Sourdough Starter)
• 1 c flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 Tab sugar
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 c butter, melted

Directions:

1. Wash your hands!
2. Mix ingredients, except butter, gently. Dough will be very soft.
3. Turn out on floured board and knead for approximately 1/2 minute.
4. Roll out with floured rolling pan (or pat with floured hand until about 1/2 inch thick.
5. Cut with floured biscuit cutter.  Or small empty juice can)
6. Carefully lift and dip in butter.
7. Place close together on pan.
8. Place in warm place for proofing for 30 minutes.
9. Bake 30 – 35 minutes at 375º.

(I have been know to cheat and add a little yeast to insure the kids had successful biscuits.)
