Your Daily Biscuit...

Hello there everyone.. 

Happy Weekend to you all. 

Last Saturday I visited a ladies group that our daughter, Shonda does in the St. John church.. 

We had a lovely time and I did a wee cooking lesson on making this Daily Biscuit recipe.. 

I came across a version of it on the web and thought it was lovely.. 

I shared with the ladies that I had a bag of hamburger buns in my cupboard for a month or so.. They had fallen behind the lazy -susan and I had not noticed.. Anyway, when I did find them, they still had not gone bad.. Can you imagine?  What must they put in them things to keep that long?  

As you know I have been pushing easy peasy no knead bread practically since I started the blog.. Just because homemade bread is so much better not only for us but for our growing children.. 

You know exactly what is going into it.. 

No knead bread is a 5 minute stir and then let it raise and bake.. 

The recipes are HERE  and HERE

If you search my blog there are many variations to no knead.. 

Terry's fave is Cinnamon Raisin No Knead Bread that I posted on Valentines.. 

Anyway.. 

Well, this biscuit takes a maximum half hour of your time.. Ten minutes to mix up and 18 minutes to bake... 

There are just so many variations of it that you will not get sick of them.. smile

I will include some ideas for you but for now here is the recipe..
