making biscuits for Sunday breakfast

[Frank_Cox]

Here ya go. First pic is my recipe.
Mixed up the dry ingredients with a pastry blender

[Frank_Cox]

Adding the milk. Don't add it all set the same time. It won't take all of it

[Frank_Cox]

Once it looks like this you are close. Add very little milk at a time until it pulls away from the side of the bowl and tries to lump up

[Frank_Cox]

Perfect

My grandfather used to make biscuits every weekend but he never really shared his recipe, he called them catheads. If we were in a hurry they were served up with melted butter and Karo syrup, I was lucky enough to have him teach me his gravy recipe and technique. To this day anytime we have folks stay over I knock out a huge skillet of sausage gravy. Frank I may have to borrow your biscuit recipe just to have the total package. Since I have nothing to base it on, this might be the first time I don't tweek the ingredients on something before actually making a batch!

Oh ...

Toss in some sausage links when you mail me the samples

[Frank_Cox]

Progress...
here is a basic kneading technique. press with palm, fold in half, rotate 90*, press again. do this for 30 seconds ish

Thanks Frank, I,m sure i can get Donna to mix some up soon,,,,,,,

[Frank_Cox]

good deal! Higher altitude is longer baking times. We are at 1000 feet here and it takes 10 to 12 minutes.

Frank I am going to have to get the church to lay hands on you...... In Alabama it is a cardinal sin to not eat or make corn bread!!!!!!!!11 When I get home I wil lpost a recipe,,, gotta have some bacon grease!!!!

[SmokinFF]

I know you guys are all about the made from scratch recipes, but here's one I use outta the box. I make a sweet cornbread. I use 1 box of Jiffy cornbread mix and 1/2 box of a yellow cake mix. Mix the 2 together and add the called for ingredients on the cornbread box and 1/2 of what's called for on the cake mix. Bake and enjoy!! ( It's best if you cover it with a nice helping of ham and beans)

[Frank_Cox]

Haha thanks TQ!
SFF that sounds like a good recipe to me for a box. I will try it!
