One more thing....

There was one more thing that I baked for the adult day care lunch on this past Tuesday.  If you remember, the menu I listed in a previous post mentioned "ham biscuits."

Just out of the oven!

The Husband says we should always try a new recipe before serving it to others.  On this particular instance,  I had not previously tried the Pineapple Casserole, nor had I tried this recipe for Sky High Biscuits.

SKY HIGH BISCUITS

2 cups flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cream of tarter
3/4 cup butter, cold and cut into small pieces
1 egg
1 cup milk

- Mix dry ingredients together.  Cut in butter.
- Add liquid ingredients, stirring until moistened.
- Knead to hold together, roll, and cut.
- Bake in a 450 degree F oven for 8 to 10 minutes.  Enjoy!

This was the first time that I have ever included an egg as one of the ingredients for biscuits.  I don't recall ever adding cream of tarter, either.  Also, we usually prefer no sugar added to the biscuit dough.  However, these biscuits were really tender and tasty, just the right thing to slit and slip some ham inside!  We especially liked that whole wheat flour was included as an ingredient.

The number made from this recipe depends, of course, on the size of your biscuit cutter.  The size I used was the two-inch diameter one, and I had to double the recipe.

I have had this recipe in my file for a very long time, and I cannot remember the source.  I think it was included in some promotional materials in an attempt to convince me I needed to purchase another cookbook!:-)  Just the thing I DO NOT need!:-)

Thank you very much for reading.  I really appreciate your comments.
