LETS DO SOMETHING SIMPLE THIS DAY OK. WE ALWAYS NEED TO START OFF THE MORNING WITH A LITTLE LITE SOMETHING THAT IS EASY AND GOOD, SO HERE WE GO. GET OUT THE SELF RISING FLOUR AND THE BUTTERMILK NOW I KNOW SOME OF YOU LADYS ARE GOING TO SAY I CANT MAKE BISCUITS FROM SRATCH BUT YOU CAN! IT IS EASY JUST TRY IT,OK IF YOUR COOKING FOR JUST TWO PEOPLE THIS WILL MAKE YOU BIG PLENTY,OK OH YOU SAY I DONT HAVE A BISCUIT PAN BUT YOU HAVE I ROUND CAKE PAN AND IT WILL DO JUST FINE SO HERE WE GO . BASIC BISCUT RECIPE ABOUT 2 CUPS OF SELF RISEING FLOUR( with just a little extra to work with) JUST OVER 1/4 CUP OF GOOD COOKING OIL(but not much over,little bit) NOW THE GOOD STUFF 1 CUP OF BUTTER MILK (OHHH THATS GOOD) BY THE WAY YOU NEED TO BE PRE HEATING THE OVEN AND YOU CAN USE A TOASTER OVEN IF YOU LIKE (IF THE PAN WILL FIT IN ) 400 DEG IF YOU WANT REALLY LITE BISCUITS ADD ABOUT A TEASPOON OF BAKEING POWDER TO YOUR FLOUR MIX ALL TOGETHER ANY WAY YOU WANT TO BUT IF IT BE COMES TO DRY THEN ADD SOME MORE BUTTERMILK JUST A LITTLE AT THE TIME TO GET IT ALL MOIST BUT NOT WET AND STICKY (use your hands or a spoon it all depends if you need to clean under your nails then just use the hands and the nails get clean hehehehehehe, but a spoon will work ) NOW WHAT I DO TO SAVE A BIG MESS IS LAY DOWN A SHEET OF HEAVY DUTY TIN FOIL AS A WORK SHEAT WITH A LITTLE FLOUR SO IT DONT STICK TO THE DOUGH ADD A LITTLE FLOUR TO THE TOP OF THE DOUGH SO YOU CAN WORK IT WITH OUT IT STICKING TO YOUR HANDS. PAT IT OUT FLAT AND FOLD IT OVER ON ITS SELF 2 OR 3 TIMES TILL IT BECOMES NICE AND WORKABLE AND WELL MIXED FLATEN IT OUT TILL IT IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF YOUR PAN THEN USEING A CUTTER (oh yes you do have a biscuit cutter the can of corn you had for dinner last nite with both ends cut out smooth makes a good one. so see there you do have one ) FLOUR IT UP GOOD AND CUT THE DOUGH INTO JUST THE RITE NUMBER TO FIT INTO THE PAN (see it all works out just rite) THE LITTLE BIT OF DOUGH YOU HAVE LEFT OVER IS CAN BE ROLLED INTO SMALL LITTLE BALLS THAT FIT IN BESIDE THE BIG ONES IN THE CRACKS AND THE TOTTLERS LOVE THEM AS BABY BISCUITS PUT THESE IN THE UNGREASED CAKE PAN BAKE THEM TILL GOLDEN BROWN LIKE A NICE SUNTAN FROM DOWN HERE IN FLORIDA JAN CAUTION : DONT WORK THE DOUGH TO MUCH OR THE BISCUITS WILL BE TOUGH AND NOT LITE |
NOW SOMETHING SIMPLE TO GO WITH THE BISCUITS AND THAT IS GOOD SO LETS MAKE SOME TOMATOE GRAVY AND IF YOU HAVE NEVER TRIED IT THEN YOU HAVE REALLY BEEN MISSING OUT. SO LETS GET GOING FIRST LETS FRY UP SOME GOOD BACON 2 OR 3 SLICES PER PERSON NOW WHERE YOU HAVE COOKED IT SAVE ABOUT 3 TABLESPOONS OF DRIPPINGS AND ADD SAME AMOUNT OF FLOUR AND BROWN THE FLOUR LITELY (being careful not to burn the flour,if you do throw it away and start over or it want be good) THIS IS CALLED A "ROUX" IT IS JUST A BASE FOR THICKENING GRAVY AND SAUCES NOW AS THE FLOUR IS BROWNED BEGIN ADDING A CAN OF DICED TOMATOES TO THE ROUX USEING THE LIQUID TO MAKE THE GRAVY THAT COMES FROM THE TOMATOES AND ADDING WATER OR MILK AS YOU NEED IT. BE SURE TO STIR IT WELL SO THERE ARE NOT ANY LUMPS. JUST A NOTE, BE SURE YOU USE COLD LIQUID SO IT DONT LUMP ON YOU TO BAD (hot will lump so bad ) AND REMEMBER THAT THE TOMATOES WILL THIN THE GRAVY MORE SO ADD THEM BEFORE YOU ADD TO MUCH WATER OR MILK ADD GARLIC POWDER AND ONION POWDER AND SALT AND PEPPER TO TASTE SERVE THIS OVER THE HOT BUTTERMILK BISCUITS ONE LITTLE NOTE THE ROUX WILL NOT DO ITS JOB OF THICKENING TILL IT COMES TO A BOIL. TRY THIS AND ENJOY AND LET ME KNOW HOW IT COMES OUT THANKS FOR DROPING BY MY HOME AGAIN AND DONT BE A STRANGER COME BACK SOON AND SEE WHAT ELSE WE COME UP WITH NEXT jimmy |
