My Own Biscuits

So I woke up this New Years day to cook. Brunch seemed like the thing to do for my family so I got to work. First I picked one of my mother's cookbooks and searched for a biscuit recipe. And well I ended up throwing that monstrosity out and making up the recipe I am now going to show you.

Ingredients

3 cups of flour ( add more as needed)
4 Tsp of Baking Powder
1/4 Tsp of Baking Soda
2/4 Tsp of kosher salt
4 Tbs of Buttermilk Powder
2 Tbs of Butter
1 Tbs of Shortening
1 Cup of Water

Step 1
Preheat the Oven to 400 Degrees

Step 2
Mix all of the dry products into a large mixing bowl, until well combined

Step 3
Then take the butter and shortening and combine it with the dry products until it resembles course crumbs.

Step 4
In the center of the dry products make a well and then pour the water into it and mix well. If at this time it is too water add more flour until it before more dough like.

Step Five
On a flat clean surface, sprinkled with flour roll out dough until it is around a half inch thick and place them on a greased cookie sheet. (Sil pads may also be used)

Step Six
Place in over for 15 to 20 minutes until golden on top.

Step Seven (Optional)
Remove the pan and with a small brush spread melted butter on the top of the fresh biscuits.




Now what I made with this was grave with breakfast sausage. Which is simple. Here is what my mother taught me.

What you will need:

A pound of breakfast sausage
Around a cup of flour, I eye balled it.
Some Milk
Cornstarch

Step One
Brown the meat in the pan.

Step 2
Take the flour and sprinkle it in, letting it cook into the meat.

Step 3
Add the milk until the sausage float as the top, don't over fill. (look at picture)

Step 4
If the mixture doesn't thicken nicely, take around 1/4 a cup of milk and add around two tsp of cornstarch and add a little by little until it is thick enough. REMEMBER that it will thicken as it cools.

Serve over Biscuits.
