What happens when a pregnant momma wakes up with a craving?



We make it of course. This morning I woke up with the worst craving for Cracker Barrel biscuits with butter and blackberry jam...sidenote (Dear Cracker Barrel, I love you, you gift shop, your food, really just love you..if you would like I will gladly be you spokesperson, I would gladly accept payment in meals...Thank you very much) Okay I'm back. So I made biscuits, and enjoyed every minute of it. Do you make biscuits? How do you serve them?


Mel's Biscuits


Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder

  • 3 teaspoons sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup of cold butter

  • 1 egg

  • 2/3 cup milk

  • Directions

    1. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat egg with milk; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
    2. Turn onto a well-floured surface; knead 20 times. Roll to 3/4-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
