I made BISCUITS y'all!

They may not be the prettiest biscuits you ever saw, but they're definitely the best tastin' ones I've ever made! I'm pretty proud of myself because normally when I make biscuits they turn out like hockey pucks. This time I used the recipe on the Homestead Blessings Cooking DVD. Yay for the West Ladies! I even got to use the buttermilk I made yesterday with my butter. Here's the recipe (I adapted it to what I had on hand):

Homemade Biscuits
2 cups white flour
2 cups fine wheat flour
8 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
approx. 1 1/2 sticks softened butter
approx. 1 cup buttermilk

Mix dry ingredients
Incorporate butter with hands until crumbly
Add small amounts of buttermilk and knead until a soft dough is formed
Roll out to about 1 inch thickness and cut (I used a cup)
Bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees

I can cross this off my list now too!! :)

  2. This looks like a good recipe. I haven't tried adding buttermilk. I got a recipe off of the back of a self rising dough package and they came out like dog bicuits lol! I'll try this recipe next time.
