1/2 cup sourdough starter
1 cup milk
2 1/2 cups unsifted flour
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon minced fresh herbs (or 1 teaspoon dried herbs)
butter
Mix
starter, milk and 1 cup of flour in a large bowl (early in the morning
if making for dinner.) Cover the bowl and keep at room temperature to
rise. Turn the soft dough out onto a bread board with 1 cup of flour.
Combine sugar, salt, baking powder, soda and herbs with remaining 1/2
cup flour and sift over the top. Mix dry ingredients by hands until it
becomes a soft dough, kneading lightly to desired consistency. Roll out
to 1/2-inch thickness. Pinch off bits of dough and roll to the size of
walnuts. Dip in melted butter and place close together in a cast iron
frying pan. Allow to rise for about 1/2 hour and bake at 350 degrees
for about 30 minutes, or until golden.
