Tickling Our Tastebuds

by Denise Valentine

Hello, everyone! Here’s my second installment of the 2017 Thurmont &
Emmitsburg Community Show promotion/invitation to participate.
A good, sit-down breakfast during the week is few and far between for me for
many households. So, Sunday is usually my day to have a good, hot breakfast.
Recently, I had some country gravy mix, but no biscuits in the fridge. I pulled
out my cookbook and turned to the biscuits. I forget, sometimes, how easy these
quick breads are to make. The biscuits turned out delicious! As I was enjoying my
biscuits and gravy, it occurred to me that this would make a great recipe for you
to try for the Community Show.
Good luck, and I hope to see you entering some baked products at the
Community Show (entries are taken on Thursday night, September 7, and Friday
morning, September 8). Pick up a Community Show Booklet at a local business to
see entry times.

Biscuits

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
⅓ cup salad oil

⅔ cup milk

Directions
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Measure dry ingredients into bowl. Pour
oil and milk into measuring cup (do not stir together); pour all at once
into flour mixture. Stir until mixture cleans side of bowl and forms a
ball.
To knead dough; turn onto waxed paper, lift paper by one corner and
fold dough in half; press down firmly and pull paper back. Repeat
until dough looks smooth. Pat or roll to ½“ thick between two sheets
of waxed paper. Cut dough with unfloured biscuit cutter. Place on
ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Yield: about sixteen 1¾-inch biscuits.
