Biscuits

1 egg, well beaten
1 cup sour cream (I substitute plain yogurt)
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease cookie sheet.  In a mixing bowl, beat egg with a fork.  Mix in sour cream, sugar and shortening. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Gradually add to egg mixture.  Mix well. Dough will be sticky. Sprinkle a little flour over dough and scoop onto a well floured board. Handle dough gently.  Flour hands and quickly knead dough 4 strokes to form into a ball.  Sprinkle top lightly with flour. Roll to 3/4" to 1" thickness (1/2" thickness if using for pot pie).  Cut with biscuit cutter, dipping cutter into flour with each cut. Place in prepared pan. Bake 15 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.
