Modern Sourdough/Bannock Biscuits???
Although passable, this recipe is not nearly as good as SODA BREAD and, as previously explained, because of the addition of baking powder, it is not a true sourdough. And, because it is formed into biscuits, it is definitely not bannock (the word bannock indicates (means) a loaf of quick bread).

1/2 cup sourdough starter
1 cup warm water (no hotter than 90F)
2 1/2 cups unsifted flour,
or
2 cups wheat flour and 1/2 cup Graham flour, corn flour
or
other flour
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. soda
(if more soda is used, with this recipe, bread will turn yellow; must be well mixed).
1. Mix starter, water, and 1 cup of the flour in a large bowl, at least 8 hours before baking time. Cover bowl, and keep at room temperature.
2. Turn out on floured cloth or bread board.
3. Combine salt, baking powder, soda and the remaining 1/2 cup of flour, and sift over top of the dough; mix into dough with hands, kneading lightly.
4 .Roll out dough to 1/2 inch thickness, and cut with a round cutter. Place rounds in a greased, 9-inch square pan close together; let them rise for about 1/2 hour, then bake in a preheated, 375 F oven 30-35 minutes.
