Biscuits ... and more...
Sometimes I'm at a loss of what to cook around here.. not because I don't know what to cook, not that the kid is a picky eater... sometimes I just.don't.know.
The last few weeks money's been really tight and my usual $50/week grocery budget has had to be pinched a bit to make ends meet. It happens, I manage to make it work. It's not always easy, but I can always manage to make it work. Yesterday I went online and scoped all the circulars for all the grocery stores around here to see which had the best deals to make the most meals for a week and then armed with some coupons and a solid list in my head I went in, grabbed just what was on my list and was out of there with a week's worth of groceries for $26.94.
I don't often buy breakfast sausage.. sometimes the list of ingredients really creeps me the hell out.. but at $1 a box I went and grabbed two boxes because, well.. makes for an easy addition to a meal. Eggs were $1.69 for 18 eggs.. I usually spend $2.19 for a dozen so that was a great deal. Breakfast is often a challenge around here since I'm not a big breakfast eater and kiddo here isn't either unless he can just grab it and go. So this morning I went ahead and made some biscuits with scrambled eggs and sausage mixed right in. No muss, no fuss. but really tasty. All it was missing was cheese.. I'll remember that next time. About 1/2 shredded cheese would have made them super!
These biscuits are So easy and really light, fluffy and delicious!
Drop biscuits
- 2 C All purpose flour
- 2 1/2 tsp. Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbs sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter, cut into cubes
- 1 1/4 cup milk
- Preheat oven to 350°f & Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set baking sheet aside
In a large bowl add flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
Mix with your hands to incorporate the dry ingredients together and then add the butter.
With your hands, incorporate the butter until it's the texture of a coarse meal*(see note about mix-ins).
Add the milk and give it a good stir with a wooden spoon or spatula to get it combined.
DO NOT OVER MIX!
You want this a little lumpy, it's OK.
I use an ice cream scoop to drop even amounts of dough on the parchment lined sheet.
Bake 15-20 minutes and viola!
*Note
If you are adding mix-ins to the biscuits like meat, egg, cheese or all of the above add them to the dry ingredients and toss to coat them before adding the milk, this will keep them from sinking to the bottom of the biscuits.
