{Tried and True}

I am slightly obsessive compulsive.

I have this quirk that I have to find the best of something.

Even if it is simple.

Years and years ago,I was determined to find the best biscuit recipe.

I couldn't just make Biscuits,they had to be flaky,buttery biscuits,so I made every biscuit recipe I could get a hold of till I found this one.

This one proved to be the best one I have come across.







Sky High Biscuits


3 cups flour

4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

2 tablespoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

3/4 cup of butter (no subs!)

1 egg,beaten

1 cup of milk



Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Combine first five ingredients; cut in butter till mixture is course and crumbly.

Add beaten egg and milk,stir till just mixed,DO NOT overwork dough,(overworking the dough will make a 'tough' biscuit)

Turn out to lightly floured surface and knead briefly.

Roll out to a 1 1/2 thickness and cut biscuits,place on ungreased cookies sheet.

Bake for 12-14 minutes.



Nothing like a warm biscuit with jam in the morning or nothing goes so well with soup or chili then a biscuit:)


Life has been so hectic lately,but I am hoping to have a minute to post my "little" knitting projects I have completed!
Hope your week is going well!
