YUMMY Buttermilk biscuits!

Mama Chris' Buttermilk Biscuits

Ingredients:

2 ½ cups	Self-rising flour
½ tsp	Baking soda
½ cup	Shortening (Crisco)
¾ - 1 cup	Buttermilk

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 450˚F
   
2. In medium bowl, stir flour and baking soda together
   
3. Cut in shortening with pastry blender until mixture looks like fine crumbs
   
4. Stir in buttermilk until dough rounds up into a ball (leave some flour on sides of bowl – add more buttermilk as needed)
   
5. Break off pieces and roll into balls. If making cheese biscuits, flatten, add cheese, pinch together and roll again.
   
6. Place on ungreased or floured cookie sheet and bake 10-12 minutes (until brown on top)
   

Tip: You can also make these with regular milk for regular biscuits, but don't put in baking soda.

 

YUM! I LOVE my Mama Chris' buttermilk biscuits! SO, this past week, I went over to her house and BEGGED her to show me how to make them! This is the recipe, with her notes added J I hope you enjoy them! We make them with cheese of course!

Name frame

I made this for my grandmother!  It's for her door at the assisted living facility.  I LOVE it!  Her favorite color is blue.  I used the retired Creative License Simply Scrappin kit paper with stars on it.  The letters were stamped in Baja Breeze, inked the edges with Kiwi Kiss, and matted each one on Pacific Point.  I added  a little bit of Whisper White 1/4" grosgrain ribbon and also stamped the kids (all Granny's great-grandchildren!) on Whisper White and colored in using random colors.  Let me know what you think. 
Oh and I'm going to REMOVE the word verification and add message monitoring.  Hopefully, this will INCREASE the number of comments I'll get....

More to come!

I DO have another card to share, but it's too late tonight to post it.  Look for it tomorrow night or the next day!

ANOTHER card!

Can you GUESS where this paper came from?  LOL  The colors are only SLIGHTLY different - Chocolate Chip, Summer Sun, Tangerine Tango, and Kiwi Kiss.

Goofy Tango

STILL using all that scrap paper I had from Emma's invitation.

This is Chocolate Chip, Tangerine Tango, Groovy Guava, Purely Pomegranate, and Kiwi Kiss.  And if I haven't mentioned it, you can go to http://www.scraptitude.com/colorcombo/ and find some unique color combos!

Berry Bills

NOT that I LIKE paying bills, but Michael and I are going to move into the 21st century and start paying our bills online.  SO, I needed somewhere to keep track of it all.  I bought this Composition book from Big Lots for $1.

I used the retired Berry Bliss paper and accented it with Chocolate Chip ribbons and Pretty in Pink and Regal Rose inks.

Birthday card

I saw this idea on another blog and LOVED the idea!  This card is SO easy and can be used to use up your scraps!

I, again, used some left over paper from making Emma's invitations using the shaving cream technique.  These were made using Bashful Blue and Elegant Eggplant.  The "light" for the candles is made from the retired Maize 1/4" grosgrain ribbon and staples.
