biskats

hi lovebuddies, rainy day here at the farm-like-place;
coffee gets cold before i finish it,
oatmeal never stops being good,
rain boots come in handy for cleaning out pools (pool party 2010! + flannel),
today is the animal auction and tomorrow is the goats' breeding party!
and i am bloated with frustration and excitement, love and boredom. how funny.
for now, here are some baskats! for your breakfasttime pleasures.

Grandma Hagan’s Biscuits

2 cups white flour*
3 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¾ cup or more milk OR buttermilk
¼ cup oil
(add 1/8 tsp baking soda if using buttermilk)

Mix dry ingredients. (If adding additional dry ingredients such as herbs or spices**, add now to dry ingredients.) Mix together liquid ingredients, stir to form emulsion, add all at once and stir only enough to wet dry ingredients. Roll to ~1 inch thickness and cut with biscuit cutter.***

Bake at 450 F until lightly browned.

elz' notes:
*or any mixture of cornmeal, wheat flour, and white flour you like (i often do half white half something else.)
**for savory, i like nutritional yeast and sage/basil/ROSEMARY/garlic/pepper. or for sweet biscuits molasses or brown sugar make good additions.
***or heap into cute little lumpy piles on a greased pan.
