How about a side dish?

I haven't posted a recipe since last November and I'm feeling out of practice. However, I haven't had any particularly creative fish dishes since then, either, so here's something to butter and munch between bites of finny food.

Sourdough Biscuits (Pinch-offs)

½ cup sourdough starter (available freeze dried on the Internet)
1 cup milk
2 ½ cup unsifted flour
1 Tbs. sugar
¾ tsp salt
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. soda
melted butter or bacon grease

Mix the starter, milk and 1 cup of the flour in a large bowl (the night before if the biscuits are for breakfast; if for dinner, then in the morning). Cover the bowl and keep warm to rise.

Turn this very soft dough out onto 1 cup flour on a bread board. Combine salt, sugar, baking powder and soda with remaining ½ cup flour and sift over the top. With your hands, mix dry ingredients into the soft dough, kneading lightly to get the correct consistency. Roll out to ½ inch thickness. Cut out biscuits with a cutter, and dip each in melted butter or bacon grease.

Place close together in a 9-inch hot oven (375 degrees) for 30-35 minutes. Makes about 14 biscuits.


Sara, don't read this if you're on a serious diet.

If it moves, eat it. If it doesn't move, give it a kick. Then eat it!
