Yeah, still no batteries... So I have decided that you, audience of questionable existence, need an actual post. I'm sure I've bored you out of your -possibly imaginary- minds. So, here's a recipe for home-made butter milk biscuits.
Butter Milk Bisquits
Notes: This recipe makes more than enough for family of five. It's easily cut in half. My dad absolutely loves them with chocolate sauce (I promise, it's not weird, it tastes like chocolate layer cake) for which will follow...eventually...
Ingredients:
*4 cups self-rising flour
*2 cups butter milk (in the absence of buttermilk, measure out the milk, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and let sit 1 minute. This is more economic for me because it tastes exactly the same and doesn't result in 3\4 of a jug of butter milk being wasted)
*3 or 4 tablespoons of shortening (Crisco) or butter
Steps:
Pre-heat the oven to 350 (Fahrenheit). Grease a pan. Put your flour in a large bowl. Add your shortening. with two butter knives, "chop" the shortening into the flour with scissor-like motions until the shortening is scattered around the flour in very small lumps. Add your buttermilk and coat your hands in flour. Mix the dough together using your hands (I know,ick,but that's the only way, I promise). Trying not to handle the dough to much, form the dough into balls and place on the greased pan. Bake for about 14 minutes until the biscuits are firm. Don't try to use the brown-ness of the biscuits as an indicator,they remain a very light color.
