Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 c Sourdough start
1 c Buttermilk
3 c 1 flour, possible 4 cups
1 Egg
3 tb Oil
1 tb Sugar (ole uses 2 or 3 tb su
-gar)
1 t Salt
2 ts Baking powder
1 t Soda (1 1/2 or 2 tsp. if sta
-rt is real sour)

The night before, or three to four hours before
you intend to prepare these, combine sourdough start,
buttermilk and 1 cup of the flour in a large bowl.
Cover and let stand at room temperature. When ready to
use, add egg and oil; stir well. Combine sugar, salt,
baking powder and soda; sprinkle over top of batter.
Fold in then add as much of the remaining flour to
make a dough you can still stir (2 to 3 cups should do
it).
To make Scones, dump batter out on a heavily
floured board; sprinkle flour over top and roll out.
Cut out scones. Allow scones to rise a few minutes
then fry on both sides in hot oil until golden brown.
For Biscuits, add enough flour to make moderately
stiff, so you can knead dough. Knead a few minutes
then roll and cut out biscuits. Drop both sides in oil
or melted butter and place on cookie sheet. Let rise
for an hour then bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.
