Ingredients

• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 cup sourdough starter (like my grape fermented starter)

Recipe

• 1 measure first four ingredients into a non-metallic bowl and beat until smooth.
• 2 cover loosely with a damp towel/cloth, and let stand in a warm place 8 - 18 hours (the longer it stands, the stronger the flavor gets).
• 3 stir batter down.
• 4 in another mixing bowl, mix the remaining dry ingredients.
• 5 cut in shortening until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
• 6 blend in starter mixture and turn out onto lightly floured surface.
• 7 knead gently 30 seconds.
• 8 add more flour if necessary, to make a soft dough.
• 9 roll out 1/2 inch thick and cut with a floured glass, or biscuit cutter and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
