Donovan's Biscuits

Ingredients:
1 cup sourdough starter
1 cup flour (all-purpose or bread flour, preferably, although McCrae probably only had whole wheat available)
1/2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 Tbsp baking powder (slightly cheating, I know; use this though to create just a little extra fluff in your biscuits, otherwise you’ll end up with a very dense biscuit)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup milk (I used whole)
1 Tbsp melted butter (McCrae likely used lard; I didn’t have any on hand)
This should get you 7 biscuits or so. That’s enough for a single cowboy who shares McCrae’s legendary appetite. For most, it’s enough for 2-3 cowpunchers, especially if served with bacon and eggs.
