Sourdough Buttermilk Biscuits

2 cups of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 cup of butter or margarine
1/2 cup of buttermilk
1 cup of sourdough starter
Melted butter or margarine

Sift together flour, salt and baking powder. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture resembles cornmeal. Mix together buttermilk and starter with a fork, stir mixture until a soft dough is formed that cleans the sides of the bowl. Turn out onto floured surface and knead gently for 30 seconds. Roll dough to form a circle 1/2 inch thick. Cut biscuits with round cutter. Place in lightly greased baking pan with sides touching. Brush tops with melted butter. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. Bake at 425ºF. for 12 to 15 minutes. Makes 12 to 15 biscuits.
