Sourdough Biscuits Recipe

Ingredients
1/2 cup Milk, warm
2 teaspoons Sugar
1 package Dry yeast
2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
3/4 cup Sourdough starter
1/2 cup Butter or 1/2 cup Shortening
1 cup Cheese; shredded

Cooking Directions
Dissolve yeast in warm milk to which sugar has been added. Mix remaining dry ingredints in medum bowl, cut in butter with pastry cutter to resemble cornmeal. Mix in 1 cup shredded cheese. Blend starter into dissolved yeast and stir all lightly into flour mixture until ball just forms. Roll out 1/2-inch thick on well-floured board, flouring top as needed just to keep from sticking to rolling pin. Cut out and quickly place on buttered baking pan, barely touching. (work fast, they get sticky quickly). Put in draft-free place to rise, for about 1 hour or in refrigerator for about 4 hours. Bake at 425 for 25 minutes until nicely browned. Serve warm with butter.
