Happy #49: Make biscuits.



If you haven't tried any home cooked goodness in awhile, give it a whirl.

BAKING POWDER BISCUITS
2 c. sifted all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. shortening
3/4 c. milk
Heat oven 450 degrees.

I lightly knead the dough into a thick circle about 8" in diameter and cut it into four pieces. Sort of like scones. It fits nicely in a pie dish for baking. And goes perfectly with butter and raspberry freezer jam from last summer's berry harvest in Bellingham.

Add Black Cherry herbal tea served in a china teacup, one beautiful breakfast companion named Christy, and you're there.

But be inventive. Use what you've got. (Qualifier: You may not be lucky enough to find Christy because she's fresh (not frozen) and you can't find her everywhere. Do feel free to substitute your favorite dish.)

The point here is to cook for and with one another.

Enjoy.

And feel the love. :)
