Dinner Biscuit

This is a great recipe for nights you don't have time for dinner rolls. Or when you just found out you are having company. Bring out a couple of cans of soup and add these homemade biscuits for a warm dinner.

 

Combine in a large bowl:

 

2 cups flour

1 cup wheat

4, 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 T sugar

3/4 tsp cream of tarter

 

Add and cut into flour using pastry cutter:

 

3/4 cup cold butter (Cut until it looks like cornmeal)

 

Add and stir briefly:

 

1 egg

1 cup milk (I use 1 cup water, 3 T powder milk)

 

Knead the crumbly dough on floured counter quickly (you don't want to warm it with your hands). Pat the dough into a 1 inch thick slab. You can then cut the slab into squares (like you would brownies). Or you can use a buiscut cutter. I just cut squares with a knife and place on a buttered cookie sheet. Bake at 450 for 12-15 minutes.

 

Serve with butter and jam.
