Q&A, Winter Wonderland and Biscuits and Gravy on a Wood Cookstove

Hi friends, today we're getting some winter tasks completed outside and while we're doing that I'll be answering as many of your questions as I can. Later on, we'll go inside and make some old-fashioned biscuits and gravy. I hope you enjoy coming along with us today. Biscuit Recipe 1 3/4 c flour 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 1/4 c shortening* 3/4 cup buttermilk * 1/3 c grated cheddar cheese 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. 2. Combine dry ingredients and whisk to blend well. Add cheese and combine. 3. Cut in shortening until the texture is like oatmeal. Add buttermilk, stirring with a fork just until moistened. 4. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead 3 or four times and flatten into 1 inch thick oval. 5. Using round biscuit cutter, or the top of a small glass, floured, cut out rounds and place, two inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 15 minutes until lightly browned. Nana's Notes If you don't have shortening, you can use 1/8 c butter mixed with 1/8 c lard. It works just as well. If you don't have buttermilk, put 1 1/2 tsp vinegar into bottom of 3/4 c measure, and fill with milk. The milk will sour after a minute or two. Also works great!
