Love me some garlic !!!







Pot full of spinach with some olive oil, the garlic and some course grated pepper.


Takes a heap of it to reach a plate. Stuff cooks down to a couple servings.

I'm gonna try it with butter flavored Crisco and see what happens........

That’s what I use when I make biscuits

 

[MOTS]

I think NCH said about a year ago, on biscuits, it takes about 99 attempts to get it just right.

Tried a new rub this time-
Pit Boss Pulled Pork Rub.

Sweetie said it’s the best we’ve ever made.

Fixed lunch for our school PD today. Canned bear meat in brown gravy over rice, hominy, green beans, and a couple pans of biscuits. Food Science teacher was gracious enough to let me use her kitchen.

Oh Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bet that made some folks happy!!!!!!!!!!!

When I went out to gather the eggs this morning I went ahead and picked a handful of jalapenos off the bushes. They went well together with some thick sliced pecan smoked bacon. The eggs and peppers can`t get any fresher than this.

Now that IS the Breakfast of Champions!!!!

I did some fillets on the Akorn. I soaked them in my marinade all day then seared them at 600*

Good looking fixings here tonight.

Dumb question, but did you use a true animal fat lard, or Crisco in the can? And was it melted into a liquid? That finished biscuit looked perfect!

I used straight up lard in the semi solid form on these. My mother used Crisco growing up though. I've tried several recipes with Crisco and some with just butter over the years, and I think these were the best I've ever made. But I know that Crisco would work just fine too.

These could have been a fluke, but I'm looking forward to trying the recipe again. I took a chance and combined a couple of different recipes to make these. So far I'm liking the results.

Perfection on a plate !!!!!!

 

[NCHillbilly]

Y'all had it going on! My son mentioned that he hadn't had home-fried chicken in awhile, so I had to make some.

My wife made up a delicious fried squash appetizer:



I did the standard chicken, tater logs, and buttermilk biscuits. It wasn't any good, we fed it to the dogs:

When I make them, I usually use regular Crisco and crumble it into the flour with my fingers before adding the milk. Lard is even better.

Yep, those looked perfect. That is very, very similar to my "recipe."

Wow!! That squash is speaking to me. They look amazingly tasty!!! Beautiful!!!

My Momma and Granny always used their fingers to blend in the (insert grease of choice ) too. I've always done it too, but tried the the potato masher this time to save some mess. It did save mess, but I still had to get hands on after I started adding the buttermilk. The crumbles after using the masher were just a little bit bigger than cornmeal, which may have been a positive in the finished product.

They look good all over, but I think they have the finest bottom crust I’ve ever seen on a biscuit!
