Hi all,
I want to
start by saying holy cow! Exactly one year ago today, I posted my first food
post! I was a little nervous at the fact that I would be opening up to everyone
on social media, but I was also very excited. I set off creating this as a
space to share quick recipes that have made dinner with toddlers manageable. I
also wanted to connect with other parents out there and people who may not have
children but want recipes that are not complicated for weeknights. I want
to express my gratitude to my existing and new followers. Thank you for joining
me on this fun project and reading my posts. I have so many fun ideas for this year! Now, as I get ready to pack for my
weekend in Houston TX (which I hope to share with you guys soon), I wanted to
pop in real quick and talk about bread.
Rather, my
love for bread. OH, how I love carbs in general. Fresh bread, store-bought
bread, frozen bread, you name it. Lately, I have found myself in a breakfast
rut. Not quite sure what to make and trying not to have bubble waffles every
single day. If I could, I would. However, my pants would not be very gracious
about it. Mostly because it isn't enough for me to have the waffle or pancakes,
I'm the person that adds fruit, and whipped cream, and chocolate syrup. Gulp,
yes, that's me. When thinking about breakfast some days, just eggs and a lean
protein do not cut it for me. Here is where this biscuit recipe saves the day!
What you
need:
Two cups
flour
Two and a
half teaspoons of baking powder
Half a
teaspoon of salt
1/3 of a cup
of shortening
3/4 of a cup of
milk
One egg
Pre-heat oven
to 475 degrees. Grab a large bowl and stir in your flour, baking powder, and
salt. Add shortening and either with a pastry cutter or two forks, blend the
shortening in until you have a crumbly mixture. Add in your milk and mix
carefully and slowly until the dough starts to form a ball. On your cutting
board, sprinkle with a little flour to keep the dough from sticking to the
board. Dump your dough onto the surface and knead for about one minute. Roll
out dough until it is in a rectangular form that is about one inch thick. Grab
a small cup or even your measuring cup and cut out circles to form your
biscuits. You should get about 8-10 good size biscuits. Whisk your egg in a
separate bowl and brush the egg on top of each biscuit. Bake for 10-12 minutes
until golden brown. Serve with any topping you choose: jelly, butter, gravy,
apple butter, the choice is yours! This is also a great recipe for my chicken pot pie casserole.
With
love,
Carolina
