It really cries for a huge helping of Hash Browns cooked in butter!!! You can toss the cantalope IMO.

I made up this recipe that avoids all of that by using vegetable oil as a shortening. The dough in this recipe is not sticky. It's easy to handle. I don't even use a rolling pin. I just press it flat with my hands. I never seem to have buttermilk on hand. This recipe uses milk and vinegar as a substitute. I always have those in stock.

Even with those shortcuts this recipe makes flaky delicious biscuits. Give it a try.


No Doh! Biscuits

3 cups all purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3 teaspoons granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup vegetable oil (I use canola)
1 cup cold milk
1 Tablespoon distilled vinegar

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Measure flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar and salt into a stand mixer.

Mix on low for 15-seconds

With mixer on low, add vegetable oil slowly to
dry ingredients.

Set mixer to medium and mix for 30-seconds or
until mixture looks like dry cornmeal.

Stir vinegar into milk.

Add milk/vinegar to flour mixture and mix on medium for 15-seconds.

Turn dough out onto bread board and knead several times.

Roll dough out to 1/2 to 3/4 inch thickness.

Cut with biscuit cutter and place on baking sheet.

Bake on middle oven rack at 400 F. for 20-minutes.

Makes 1-dozen, 2-1/2 inch diameter biscuits.

Rusty o Pal, your not gonna believe this but my better half "the one who must be obeyed" and the one that made them biscuits does something like this: she dumps flour (no measuring) into a bowl and makes a well in the center and adds crisco and milk and then takes her little fingers and performs a miracle bar none - that's it - takes her about 5 min to have em in a cake pan and ready to cook. I can make some good yeast biscuits called angel biscuits but they just ain't no use in going to all that trouble cause these biscuits ROCK. But what I'm saying is she blows me away by not using buttermilk, which my granny always did and her biscuits was famous in the neighborhood and they were rolled out and she used a biscuit cutter to cut em out with which my wife never does, she just grabs a hunk o dough and pinches off enough to roll out a biscuit.

You're a lucky man. My wife makes good toast.
That's why I came up with the recipe.

That is on the agenda for the 4th for breakfast!
