Sour Milk Biscuit

Ingredients

• 1 quart of sifted flour
• piece of butter the size of an egg
• 1 teaspoonful of salt
• 1 pint of sour milk
• 1 teaspoonful of soda

Instructions

Rub into sifted flour butter, salt; stir into this sour milk, dissolve soda and stir into the milk just as you add it to the flour; knead it up quickly, roll it out nearly half an inch thick and cut out with a biscuit-cutter; bake immediately in a quick oven.

Very nice biscuit may be made with sour cream without the butter by the same process.
