Biscuits

PREPARATION

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Using your fingertips, work the shortening into the flour mixture until it’s absorbed.
• In a separate bowl, blend the sour cream, milk and egg white.
• Make a well in the flour mixture and pour the sour cream mixture into it. Using your fingertips, mix and knead until the dough is smooth and all the flour is absorbed.
• Place the dough on a floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out until it is œ-inch thick.
• Use a biscuit cutter or drinking glass to cut out biscuits, kneading and re-rolling dough scraps as needed.
• Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet and brush with melted butter.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
