One of my favorite meals for breakfast are baking powder biscuits and gravy. I don’t care what kind of gravy you use, these baking powder biscuits make the meal. My wife makes a fantastic sausage gravy most of the time when she makes biscuits and gravy and I have used deer, elk, bear, beef, and even grouse to make gravy for these biscuits.
I also like to eat these biscuits with some butter and homemade blackberry or strawberry jelly on them.
I have used them to make deer steak sandwiches to take along on hunting trips and for lunch at work.
This is another old recipe I got from my Mom. These old recipes are still so much better than anything you can buy in a store, and they are simple and quick to make. My wife and I have been spending more time going through old recipes and finding simple things like these biscuits to take the place of the ready-made or ready-to-bake biscuits you get in the store. These are not full of preservatives and other things that may not be so good for you. We enjoy gathering, growing and making our foods. You can use the refined white flour, whole grain flour, or even grind your own flour to use.
Baking Powder Biscuits
Ingredients:
Sift dry ingredients together and cut in shortening. Add milk to make a soft dough. Place on floured board and knead for a few seconds using as little flour as possible. Roll out 1/2 inch thick and use a lightly floured biscuit cutter to cut into biscuits. Place on a greased baking sheet and bake in a very hot oven (450 degrees) for about 12 minutes.
For some added flavor, mix in 1/2 cup of shredded cheese to the dry ingredients. For spaghetti, I like to mix in some spicy cheese mix and then after baking the biscuits add some garlic butter to them and toast them lightly in the oven for garlic bread.
If you don’t have a biscuit cutter, increase the milk to 1 cup and drop from a teaspoon onto a greased cookie sheet and bake in a very hot oven (450 degrees ) for about 12 minutes
