So I woke up this morning and decided I wanted some runny egg sandwiches on home made biscuits of course to go along with my coffee *sip*. This recipe comes from my wonderful mother and I have adjusted it slightly to work for me. These biscuits are buttery and divine and go good with just about anything; egg sandwich, soups, biscuits and gravy, butter and home made jelly you get the idea.
Country Biscuits
6 Tablespoons Butter (I usually use 6 Tab of dairy free butter)
1 Cup buttermilk (1 Tab of vinegar in 1 cup of milk or a milk substitute works I use almond milk)
2 cups self rising flour (plus a little extra for your work surface
Cast Iron Skillet (If you don't have this then don't attempt, go buy one)
Put butter in the skillet and put in the 450 degree oven just until the butter is melted. Mix flour and milk until moistened (if you are making your buttermilk you will need to let the mix set for about 5 min and be sure to stir before you combine with the flour. If you use a milk substitute this happens much faster so the 5 min isn't necessary.) knead on floured surface about 4-5 times. Pat dough out til about 1/4 inch thick, cut with biscuit cutter (I use a measuring cup flipped upside down because I don't have a biscuit cutter) and place in pan with butter, turn over to coat with butter. Bake 10-13 minutes at 450 and enjoy!
I honestly don't think I can ever make a different recipe because this one is so delicious and easy seriously! I hope you love them as much as I do!
Yesterday I made a decorative pillow for my living room so I thought I would share it with you. I bought some cheap fabric from Walmart that I found in the sale bin of leftover remnants. I also bought a small pillow pre-filled just waiting for a nice covering.
Do you know about high altitude cooking? I know I've made these once, maybe twice before in the past and everything went as planned.
ReplyDeleteThis time I had a sticky mess and needed to add about an extra cup of flour. Maybe it' because I made my own self rising flour?? They're in the oven now. Just wondered if you had any clue of what I did wrong. I used this recipe for self rising flour (and I did remember to double it!). Thanks, Marcy!

I honestly do not know anything about high altitude cooking. Let me know how they turned out! My Mom always said there were bad baking days and good baking days and it has always seemed to be true despite lack of elevation changes on my end of things. Some days dough is sticky and some days it isn't.
