Tonight’s bonus recipe is Garlic Biscuits, below.
That’s if for this week. What’s cookin’ for you this weekend?
Tonight’s bonus recipe:
Garlic Biscuits
- 2 cups flour
- 4 tbsp buttermilk powder*
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/3 cup butter or shortening
- 3 tsp crushed garlic
- 1 cup milk*
bowl and baking sheet or cast iron skillet, greased
I prefer using butter over shortening because it gives the biscuits a buttery, garlic flavor that is irresistible.
Sift together dry ingredients. Cut in butter, stir in garlic, add milk. Stir quickly with a fork until completely moistened, don’t over mix. Knead gently on floured surface for 10-12 strokes. Roll out to ½ inch thick, cut into biscuits. Place on baking sheet or cast iron skillet, and bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.
*or substitute 1 cup buttermilk, then omitting buttermilk powder and milk.
