RED CHILI BISCUITS 
1 recipe Dry Baking Mix (see recipe below)
1 tbsp. chili powder
1/2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 c. Sourdough Starter (see recipe)

Stir together Dry Baking Mix, chili powder, and cheese. Add Sourdough Starter and mix until flour is moistened. Place mixture on a floured surface; knead lightly and pat to 1/2 in thickness. Cut or roll. Place in greased baking pan. Cook 20-25 minutes in 400 degree oven.

DRY BAKING MIX:

2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/3 c. lard or shortening

Sift or mix dry ingredients. Cut in lard until mixture resembles fine meal.

SOURDOUGH STARTER:

1 qt. lukewarm water
1 pkg. dry yeast
2 tsp. sugar
4 c. all-purpose flour

Put water in crock. Add yeast and sugar to soften. Stir in flour. Cover with a clean cloth. Let rise until mixture is light and slightly aged, about 2 days. Mixture will thin as it stands. Add flour as needed. As you use sourdough from the crock, replace it with equal amount of flour-water.
