    Sourdough Biscuits
     Categories: Breads
          Yield: 4 servings

        1/2 cup  Active Starter
      2 1/2 cup  Flour
          1 Tbs. Sugar
          2 tsp. Baking Powder
        1/4 tsp. Cream Of Tartar
          1 cup  Milk
        1/3 cup  Lard or Shortening
        3/4 tsp. Salt
        1/2 tsp. Baking Soda

    At bedtime make a batter of the half cup of starter, cup of milk, and
    1 cup of the flour.  Let set overnight if the biscuits are wanted for
    breakfast. If wanted for noon, the batter maybe mixed in the morning
    and set in a warm place to rise.  However, unless the weather is real
    warm, it is always all right to let it ferment overnight. It will get
    very light and bubbly. 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.  Work in the lard or shortening with your
    fingers or a fork.  Add baking soda dissolved in a little warm water
    to the sponge and then add the flour mixture. Mix into a soft dough.
    Knead lightly a few times to get in shape.  Roll out to about 1/2
    inch thickness or a little thicker, and cut with a biscuit cutter.
    Place close together in a 9 x 13 inch pan, turning to grease tops.
    Cover and set in a warm place to rise for about 45 minutes.  Bake in
    a 375 degree oven for about 30 to 35 minutes.  Leftovers are good
    split and toasted in a sandwich toaster.

      Crunchy Parmesan Herb Breadsticks

    2 to 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    1 package active dry yeast
    1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, crushed
    3/4 cup warm water (12O F to 13O F)

    flour mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on low to medium speed for 30
    seconds, scraping sides of bowl. Beat on high speed 3 minutes. Using a spoon,
    stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can. On a lightly floured surface,
    knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a stiff dough that is smooth and
    elastic (8 to 10 minutes total). Shape into a ball. Place dough in a lightly
    greased bowl, turning once to grease the surface. Cover and let rise in a warm
    place till double (45 to 60 minutes). Punch dough down. Turn out onto a lightly

    roll each piece into an 8 inch long rope. Place 2 inches apart on prepared
    baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place till nearly double (about 30
    minutes). Brush breadsticks with a mixture of egg white and 1 tablespoon water.
    Then sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese. Bake in a 375 F oven for 10
    minutes Reduce oven temperature to 300 F. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes more or till
    golden brown and crisp. Remove breadsticks from baking sheets and cool on a wire
    rack. Makes 24. Serve plain or dip in mustard, pizza sauce or sour cream dip.

    Sour Beer Rye Bread
      for ABM
        Yield: 1 Loaf

        1 cup  Beer, flat, room temp
      1/4 cup  Cider vinegar
    1 1/4 cup  Bread flour
        1 cup  Whole rye flour
      1/2 cup  Whole wheat flour
      1/4 cup  Gluten flour
        1 tsp. Dill weed, dried
    1 1/2 tsp. Sea salt
        2 tsp. Caraway seeds
        2 Tbs. Oil
        1 Tbs. Honey
        4 tsp. Active dry yeast

    Combine the beer and the vinegar in a small bowl and set aside for ten
    minutes.  This was wonderful when I used a dark bock beer, much more
    flavorful then when I used a low cost generic beer.  But the bread is good
    no matter which brand that you use.  I substituted regular salt for the
    Sea Salt, with no ill effects.  Add ingredients in the order specified by
    your breadmaker.  Let cool on rack for at least one hour after it has
    baked.

    10x5" rectangles. Starting from shorter side, roll up, pinching edges
    firmly to seal. For free-form loaves, taper ends slightly. Place

    Braid strips together, tuck ends under and seal. Repeat with
    remaining dough. Place on prepared cookie sheets. Cover; let rise in
    warm place until doubled in size, about 45 mins. Heat oven to 375
    degrees F. Bake for 25-35 mins. until loaves sound hollow when
    lightly tapped. Remove from pans immediately; cool on wire racks.

    shinny copper penny. Tie loaves with ribbon and decorate with small
    sheaf of wheat or other grain, dried flowers, silk flours or dried
    berries. Attach friendship note which will follow on last note.

    TO PRESERVE BREAD: Allow loaves to dry in cook dry place for several
    days until VERY HARD. Spray or brush clear, glossy polyurethane or
    spray clear, glossy resin around loaf. Let dry; repeat with second
    coat. When dry, decorate as desired.
