OK, it's been a while! But last night I was cooking a dinner of slow-cooker pork loin, microwaved sweet potatoes, and frozen chopped spinach when I decided it needed something more...biscuits! If I had had a tube of ready-to-bake biscuits in the fridge, we wouldn't be here today typing, but here we are!
The biscuits were fun and easy to make. I have a pastry blender (that I hardly ever fish out of the drawer) and that makes it easy to cut the dry ingredients into the shortening...ok, I didn't have shortening so I used butter; I figure that made them even better. You gotta love a recipe with only 6 ingredients. And kneading the dough and cutting it into rounds...very satisfying!
I made the mistake of cutting the recipe in half. Didn't want to make 20 biscuits for the 3 of us...but I only ended up with 4 1/2 biscuits! So don't worry. You won't end up with a huge quantity if you make the whole recipe. I figure the recipe as written will yield about 9 2-inch biscuits.
They are best hot out of the oven! I had one left over today which I microwaved for 12 seconds, split and enjoyed with butter, jam and a cup of tea. Ahhhh.
