What comes from waking up at 7 am
So let me begin this post by stating that yesterday was an extremely long work day for my dear husband. He didn't make it home until somewhere around eight last night, which meant he went to bed early and also meant he got to go into work a slight bit later this morning. Normally he's up at four or five, but not today.
That meant that Sammy and I woke up around the same time. I'll try to shorten this somewhat, because I feel I could ramble on for hours today.
Anyway, I bought some buttermilk a few days ago, in an attempt to perfect my biscuit making. I think I got it right this morning. I made most of them heart shaped because Valentine's day is drawing nigh. Here's the recipe I used. (I found it online a while back, but don't remember where!)
4 cups self rising flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 Tbsp sugar
2/3 cup of Crisco
2 cups of buttermilk.
I usually half this recipe because I don't need a million biscuits around my house. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Combine the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Roll to 3/8 inch thick on a floured surface. Use a round biscuit cutter, ( I use a small tupperware glass to make my round ones), or you can use a shape like the heart. Brush the tops with melted butter. Bake for twenty minutes or until golden brown.
I usually have to bake them the full twenty minutes and I brush them with more butter about halfway through cooking time and afterwards. Sometimes I also put my oven on low broil for a few minutes to get the biscuits a little extra crispy.
If you make these, I hope you enjoy them!
