Sourdough Biscuits

Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Rub in the butter, then add the Sourdough Starter and mix.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured board; knead lightly until satiny. Roll dough 1/2-inch thick, then cut with a floured cutter.

Place biscuits on a well-greased pan; brush tops with soft lard.

Let rise for 1 hour in a warm place.

Bake in a moderate oven (350°) until brown.
