FRIENDSHIP BISCUITS

Since making my Amish Friendship Bread starter and my initial bread, I have discovered a whole world of recipes that can be made from the starter. While I enjoy the original bread recipe, I certainly do not need all that sweetness on my body. So I've made corn bread, chocolate cake for a church meal and my kids' favorite--biscuits. These are sweeter than I prefer for a "normal" biscuit, but if you use a small cutter they can be a wonderful snack. They melt in your mouth kind of like a Mexican wedding cookie.

Friendship Biscuits

1 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. Amish Friendship Bread starter
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cl butter, melted

Preheat oven to 450. In a bowl combine dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and mix well. Place dough on a well-floured surface and flatten with your hands to 1" thickness. Cut out biscuits with a floured cutter and place on a baking stone or greased cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes or until golden.
