Baking Powder Biscuits
1 cu whole wheat flour
1/2 tbsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
2 tbsps lard
1/3 cup milk -- or as needed.
Heat oven to 450F.
Stir together dry ingredients.
Cut in lard til it looks like small crumbs. You can use an egg
beater to do this.
Add milk and mix it in. The result will be damp and sticky. You may
need slightly more or less milk than 1/3 cup.
Turn onto floured board, flour your hands and kneed 8-10 times.
Roll out 1/2 inch thick. Cut into pieces using a cookie cutter,
drinking glass/cup or knife. I cut them into rough squares.
Lay separated on ungreased pan and bake about 10 minutes. When done,
they will be lightly browned on top and not damp inside. Depending
on oven, this may take 9 - 12 minutes.
Variations :
Oatmeal - replace 1/2 flour with oatmeal.
Cheese - Add 1/2 cup grated cheese before adding liquid.
Rye - replace 1/2 flour with rye flour, add 1/4 tsp caraway seeds
Herbed - add 1 1/2 T herbs
Raisin - soak 2 Tablespoons raisins in warm water for 5 minutes, drain and add
before liquid.
Buttermilk - replace milk with buttermilk
Sour Cream - replace milk with sour cream.
Orange - replace ½ milk with orange juice and add 1 tsp grated
orange peel.
Poppy Seed - add 1 - 2 tsp poppy seeds
Sesame Seed - add 1 - 2 tsp sesame seeds
Onion - Soak 2 Tablespoons dried onion in warm water, drain and add before liquid.

About Me
- chicken_whisperer5449
- Hi Folks! My name is Candy and I have been married to my best friend, my one true love, Steve, for 11 years now. We are a combined family with 7 grown kids and 14 grandbabies. Our children are all over the US; Illinois, Louisiana, Utah, Oregon, Alaska and Hawaii. We are proudly owned and operated by an ever growing menagerie of animals: parrots, parakeets, cockatiels and cockatoos, dogs, cats, chickens, and 2 rabbits. We have a huge garden in the summer, planted fruit trees and grape vines last year, can food from the garden, sew, quilt and make our own soap. Needless to say, we live in the country, have an avid interest in homesteading and how to make it do-able on a small acreage plot of ground. We've had alot of successes, a couple of near misses and a couple of "really missed the target" in our venture and look forward to sharing them like-minded folks.
