In the southern United States, biscuits and gravy are a common breakfast food. The gravy is usually a thick, creamy gravy with bits of beef or sausage in it; not the thin, broth-like gravy that we might pour over turkey or roast beef. <BR/><BR/>Here is my mother's biscuit recipe:<BR/>2 cups flour<BR/>4 teaspoons baking powder<BR/>1/2 teaspoon salt<BR/>1/2 cup shortening<BR/>3/4 cup milk<BR/>Mix dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Add shortening. With a pastry cutter (or 2 knives), cut shortening into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Add the milk, mix. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead approx. 30 seconds. (Try not to handle the dough too much.) Pat the dough into a 1/2 inch thick sheet. With floured cookie cutter, cut out biscuits and place on baking sheet. Bake in 350-degree F oven until golden brown. <BR/><BR/>I know that we probably use different units of measurement than you do. If any of this does not make sense to you, let me know. These biscuits are really good with a little butter and honey on them. If you prefer to not use shortening, you can do an Internet search for biscuits (you might try searching for "buttermilk biscuits") and I'm sure you'll find all sorts of recipes that call for butter instead of shortening. - HollyHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13066889692445930882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23837582.post-83722630126856306142007-08-29T12:56:00.000-07:002007-08-29T12:56:00.000-07:00I suppose the 'perfume'might have a bit to do with...I suppose the 'perfume'might have a bit to do with the additional responsibility in your life?<BR/>The TV on must be a special talent!<BR/>Thank you for letting me know.<BR/><BR/>This biscuits you Americans talk about I would like to know what it is. Read in Louis L'Amour about biscuits.<BR/>Biscuits in my reference is cookies.
