1 1/2 c Flour
1/2 c Whole wheat flour
3 ts Baking powder
1 ts Baking soda
1 ts Salt
3 tb White sugar
3/4 c Crisco
1 ts Molasses
1 3/4 c Sourdough; up to 2 c
Sift all dry ingredients together into a large mixing bowl. Blend in
Crisco with fingertips. Mix molasses well into 1 3/4 cup sourdough.
Stir lightly into flour mixture. (Add more sourdough if necessary to
make a soft dough.) Turn out on floured board and let "rest" for 5
minutes for easier handling. Knead lightly. Roll 3/4 inch thick. With
a sharp knife, cut into squares. Bake about 10-15 minutes in a 425
degree F oven until golden brown. Serve with baked beans, or with
honey or jam, while still hot.
