I have made several pans of biscuits since our baking class Tues. I am so proud to finally be able to make biscuits. I found out what I had been doing wrong all of these years. I wanted to play with my dough too much like play dough.

I am so sad I missed the class, but it sounds like y'all learned a lot. I have never heard of tomato jelly, but I bet I would like it.

To make Tomato preserves.You will need 1 cup of tomatoes to 1 cup of sugar.Dip tomatoes in boiling water for a few seconds take out and slip off skins.Core and chop.Drain off all juice. Mix 1cup tomatoes and 1 cup sugar for as large of pot you would like to make.Cook on high until mixture comes to boil.Lower heat to medium heat, stiring constantly for 2 1/2 hours. Can in pints jars.

Im not sure I could get a sitter for Tuesday nights.:( I wish I could though.

I would like to attend these also. I live in purlear so it would not be far to go...

p.m. for directions....

Tuesday's @ 7, Purlear

When and where are the classes?

yes, we can do another one anytime...very easy, since we know what we're doing now!!!!

Hate I missed this class :( but was not feeling well. I hope to make it next week....will there ever be another class on these biscuits?

I made the biscuits this morning & for the first time - my biscuits turned out great! Thanks so much for finally teaching me to make a biscuit & I'm sure my family will appreciate it too.

I'm in heaven finally learning how to make a real biscuit!

Can't wait till next week to learn how to make some real pie crust and cake icing!!! Oh and the cake!!

Recipes prepared in tonights baking class...

Biscuits: Southern Biscuit Formula L
preheat oven to 425
3 1/4 cup biscuit flour
1 1/4 cup cold buttermilk
mix just enough to get all the flour wet
transfer dough to floured surface very gently
roll or press dough to 1/2 inch thickness
use a floured cutter or floured glass to cut out biscuits and gently put them in an ungreased baking pan with sides touching.
Bake 10-12 minutes or till your tops are as golden brown as you like.

Beer Bread:
3 cups of White Lily Flour
3 tablespoon sugar
1 can of beer, any flavor will do.
Mix gently till all flour is wet
Oil a loaf baking pan and pour batter into baking pan.
If you like you can let it settle for about 30 minutes before putting in preheated oven. I usually don't. Bread will be crusty and somewhat like a bread cake. This recipe can include any herb or herb mixture you like or dried fruit such as apricots, peaches...so on and so forth. Just use your imagination!!!

Thanks to Goddess for having us & GrannyFelts & husband for teaching me how to FINALLY make a biscuit!

I actually just took a pan of homemade biscuits out of my oven and guess what. They are great!!!! Usually when I make buiscuits, they can be used for hockey pucks!!

Me Too!!! Freddiemae, man were those biscuits good...and that tomato jelly OMG!!! was that the best.

For those interested we will be doing homemade pie crust and Triple Chocolate Cake with homemade icing! Oh, I know it's gonna be good. Mr. GrannyFelts is an experienced baker and those biscuits were just a hint of his baking talents!

Again, thanks so much for coming and I hope it's just the beginning of better baking times for all of us!!!
