For the love of a good biscuit

I made biscuits and gravy the other day. I am so impressed with this biscuit recipe I had to share.

Mile High Biscuits

3 c. flour
2 tbsp. sugar
41/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. cream of tartar
3/4 c. Crisco solid or butter ( I use butter)
1 beaten egg
1 c. milk
Stir together all dry ingredients. Cut in shortening (butter). Mis egg and milk; add all at once stirringjust to make soft dough. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knedad 10-15 tiems. Pat out to be one-inch thickness. Cut into biscuits and place on ungreased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake at 425 degrees for 12- 15 minutes.

Today I looked out the window to see a flock of Cedar Waxwing birds in our burning bush. Just a reminder of the beauty of my Lord! It is icky out the snow is dirty and iced over, so it was nice to see a bird so beautiful and I had never see them before!
