Biscuits!


I do like Biscuits!

Those sourdough biscuits are good, but my son is not a fan of the sour taste yet.

Looked online for a new recipe to try. Checked out Betty Crocker.


2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, a stick of butter.
The recipe says 3/4 cups milk, but I was in the kitchen and forgot what it said. I just poured milk in until I made a sticky dough.
Added a little more flour, because I made it too sticky.


Rolled out the dough and folded it a few times, and rolled out again to about an inch thick. Used a 1 cup measuring cup to cut out the biscuits. 

Dad told me my Gran used to use cans from canned vegetables. I want to try that, but never think about it until its time to cut the biscuits.

So... cut out the biscuits, roll the left overs out again and cut some more until you're out of dough. 

I could have made a really small one with the left over, but thought it might burn. I put the left overs in my Sourdough starter jar. I do not see a reason to waste flour. 

This made 7 biscuits. Thinking further on this, mine may have been thicker than 1 inch.


Preheat oven to 450, the recipe says to cook 10-12 minutes or until golden. Mine took 17 minutes to get the golden color. Again, mine may have been bigger, so took longer.

I also stuck a pan with about an inch of water in in the bottom of the oven. 
Ok so my eye is not calibrated, I actually don't know how much water I put in that pan. I'm not sure what that does either, but I read it somewhere it makes me feel like I know what I'm doing.



Success my son likes them.
I like them also.
