Grandpa's Sour Cream Biscuits

Dees are mine and day is Gooooood, I Garoonteeeeeee!
Ya have to hold 'em down or day float away :-)


Grandpa's Sour Cream Biscuits. (done in 20 minutes flat)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees

Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
4 teaspoon fulls baking powder
4 teaspoon fulls sugar optional
1/2 cup or 1 brick butter, referigerated.
1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt. referigerated. dees ones day have sour cream.

Directions:
Place flour, dry ingredients and butter in a 2 qt food processor and "cut in the butter"
on high for about 1 minute or until completely blended. You can do dis wif yo fingas, but it ain't ezee.
Add sour cream or yogurt and blend until dough clumps or pulls away from sides of processor bowl. Remove Blade.

Da food processa makes all dis mixn, a "piece of cake" EZ fo sho.

With a large thumb ejecting ice cream scoup, or wif yo fingas, dip and place dobs about the size of a half of lemon close together on a cookie sheet. (1 1/2 to 2 doz.) I rolled deze between the palm of my hands and didn't flatten dem, and i placed dem apart. If yo put dem clos togeta da sides sta white and pretty like.

Optional:
After they are all arranged. flour da top lightly and press down with the bottom of a pint jar. (Flatten dem wif yo hands if ya want to)
The ones in the picture were not flattened, but were just rolled between the palms of my hands. I try da jar da next time.

Place in oven one notch above the middle and bake for 12 to 14 minutes.
Den stan back wen ya open dat door, cause dey fly way fo show.

Challenge:
I'll bet ya a nickel ya can't eat one wif out it falin to pieces befo ya git it all ta yo mouf.
Da only thing dat would make dem betta would be fresh strawberries and whip cream!

ENJOY!
Trivia question: Did yo eva wonder why dey put da pre heat stuff at da end of da fixins?

Post Script:

Pat a cake, pat a cake, bakers man
Bake those cakes as fast as you can,
Mix 'em and roll 'em and mark 'em with G
Then throw 'em in the oven for Grandma and me.

Yup, I'm starting to talk to myself.

BRRRRRR

The coca cola bounce

Saturday Feb 6th Wish you were Here

If I had taken the following picture with this Ansco, my first camera circa 1953, I would waited two weeks for the prints, and them put them away in an envelope or shoe box.
BUT
This shot was taken with my little Kodak Zx1 HD video still camera
It fits in my shirt pocket.
I am sharing this pix with the world.
I took the picture less than 10 minutes ago.

Baxter just shoveled well over 12" of snow to make a path on the deck between our back doors.
The Directv dish had enough snow on it to block my signal.
The show is heavy and wet.
