My corned beef had 8 minutes left to cook when I remembered that I had wanted to make rolls, corn bread or biscuits to go with it tonight. I chose biscuits because they are SO fast, especially if you are all about the flavor and not so much about the looks. Although...if you ask me, they look as good as they taste.
This is a tried and true Betty Crocker recipe (Baking Powder Bisuits).
2 c. flour (can use whole wheat)
1 tbsp. sugar (I used turbinado)
3 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. sea salt
1/2 c. shortening (I use butter or coconut oil)
3/4 c. milk (I use raw cow's milk)
Preheat oven to 450*F. Combine all but the milk in a large bowl. Mash together with your hands until it resembles bread crumbs. Add the milk and mix again with your hands to form a large ball. Use a spoon or your hand to grab chunks of the dough. Roll them in your hands and press each biscuit down onto a greased cookie sheet. You can make these as big or small as you like. They can touch while baking for a pull-apart effect or you can separate them for a golden edge all the way around. I made 9 big ones. The original recipe says it makes 12. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
By the time I put these in the oven and set the timer, I still had time to grab a platter, slice the corned beef and lay it all pretty over my root veggies and cabbage and set the table. It worked out perfectly!
These sound so yummy.
ReplyDeleteSo I read two posts about where you mentioned turbanado. I've read recently that's it's really expensive. Have you found an inexpensive source of it?
I love your posts!

I get mine at the grocery store for about $1/cup. It's in a brown box called Sugar in the Raw and it has a burlap sack over turned with the sugar pouring out. A good source for discounted prices on natural stuff is www.azurestandard.com. I've enjoyed getting other things there. I think stevia and xylitol are the most expensive. At azure, they have "wholesome sweetness" brand that I just got and it's $4 for 24 oz. So it's a little more expensive than the Sugar in the Raw. But it's organic and still has the molasses which is full of minerals and nutrients.
