For YOU....and You Know Who You Are!
Well, well, well. My first "can you write a blog about _______________" request happened today!
I won't write a blog on request for just anybody.
Has to be someone special.
Now, moral dilemma, do I write this blog/share this recipe because the person is really special....
.....or because she obviously needs the help/recipe?
She asked me for a recipe today. She said "hey Maureen! (or something engaging like that) Can you blog about your recipe for AIR MILE BISCUITS? You gave me the recipe and I lost it."
Okay - you decide:
Tut tut.
I think she needs the help.
;)
Kidding, she IS very special, too. One of a kind, even. But for dignity's sake, let's just leave her name anonymous and simply mention that she isan LPN at who works at HBH who lives not that far from me and we've worked together for many years and have shared a lot of laughs and great moments kind of silly AND also a very great friend!
For her, and for the rest of you who might be mildly interested, here is the recipe for....
MILE HIGH BISCUITS (aka "Air Mile Biscuits", at least toAlanna my anonymous friend)
3 cups flour
3/4 tsp cream of tartar
3/4 tsp salt
4 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp sugar
3/4 cup shortening
1 egg
1 cup milk
Mix the dry ingredients together and cut in the shortening until it resembles crumbs. Mix the egg (slightly beaten) with the milk and add to dry ingredients. Stir to mix, then knead briefly until well combined. DO NOT OVER-MIX OR OVER-HANDLE. Roll out to 3/4 inch thick, cut into circles or squares or whatever shape floats your boat, and bake at 450 F for 12 minutes. That is one hot oven!
Seriously, these biscuits are wonder biscuits for me - they have never failed yet. They always come out nice and fluffy and rise well. And they were a great addition to last night's borscht!
Enjoy your week off, Ms. Anonymous! And get busy baking!
