Sour-dough Biscuits Rona Morris Workman Vetnonia, Ore. Please, can someone tell me how to make sour-dough biscuits? My menfolks speak of 'them with longing. I gather from their words that once having eaten sour-dough biscuits you pine away and die if you can no longer get them. (This, I think, must be a purely masculine desire, since I have never heard a woman yearn ing to feed upon the things.) I have looked through my cook books in vain. Evidently 'the Emi ly Post of the cooking world doesn’t consider sour-dough bis cuits a food which any civilized person would consider eating, but maybe nien aren’t really civilized. I have heard that only women keep them from reverting to whiskers and a war-club, and at times I am prone ito believe it. Finally, in a magazine I found a sort of recipe. It began: “First find a sheep-herder—’’. I ask you, where in this section of the coun try does one look for a sheep herder? Besides, if I did find one, the cattle-men’s association would probably black-list me. I gathered from his recipe that a sheep-herder was necessary for a “starter”, although I did find some “starter” .several years ago. We' were fishing at a mountain lake and I saw a forester’s de serted cabin. Woman-like, I had to investigate. On the table was a covered jar. I lifted 'the lid— and my hair lifted with it. “What on earth is it?”, I gasped to the Big Boss. “Smells like sour-dough start er”, he answered casually, “but it’s a bit old.” “Only old”, I snorted, “well, "it smells like the unburied dead to me.” I wanted that jar, though, so, holding my nose with one hand, I carried the malodorous thing to the lake and put it ta soak. I felt sorry for the fish, but not too sorry, because all the morning they had scorned my most se ductive flies. I learned a year or so later that a wealthy concern had made that lake into a health resort. The waters, they claimed, had a strange potent quality war ranted to cure anything from ad vanced arthritis to a case of blighted affections. That jar started sour-dough 'trouble in my family. The odor seemed to arouse a strange yearn ing in the Big Boss and he insis ted that I make some sour-dough biscuits. I followed his sketchy instructions and made some. As projectiles from an 8-inch gun they would have been excellent. I tried again. These gave the im pression 'that they were suffering from a malignant case of spotted fever complicated by a touch of yellow jaundice. I tried yet again. These I put out on a stump for the chipmunks. Later I heard an uproar. One chipmunk, braver than the rewt, had attacked a bis cuit, managed to tear off a piece, and was apparantly choking to death to the consternation of his fellows. That was too much. If even a chipmunk couldn't eat ’em-. Last month our Marine came home. On Tulagi he had remem bered some sour-dough biscuits eaten long ago at a friend’s house. Now he wanted me to try things once more to make the de licious things. We mothers will KEEP FAITH ¡iMifS—l \bybuying\ WAR BOMDS Thursday, September 21, 1944 do anything for our returning sons. I tried. I tried again. And yet again. They say the Marines never give up. No job is too hard for them to craek. But this Marine broke that sacred rule. Those biscuits did what the Japs couldn’t do. They made a Mar ine acknowledge defeat. Now I am desperate. To keep my standing in this family I am going to have to learn to mak.e good sour-dough biscuits. If it takes a sheep-herder for a “start er”, then I’ll pocket my cattle man’s pride and find me a sheep herder. Does anybody know a sheep-herder, or know a man who has heard of a sheep-herder in this country. I just gotta get me some “starter”. Help! IF The Shoe Fit$- Weart I +!
