Tasty Tuesday-Buttermilk Biscuits

Buttermilk Biscuits
Tammy Channel

3 C whole wheat pastry flour (or unbleached white flour)
1 tbs salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
2/3 C. butter
1 C buttermilk ( I use just a bit more maybe like 1/8 C more)

Set butter out to soften.

Preheat oven to 400*F

Add all dry ingredients as listed above. Then add butter and chop up into dry mix and stir. Add buttermilk and mix well. Dump out on a lightly floured counter. Knead with your hands by folding the dough into itself while pushing in with your fists,keeping to this for a few minutes (I try to knead for about 5 min).Roll the dough out to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, using a biscuit cutter or coffee cup cut your biscuits. Now if you may need to rub some flour on the cutter as well as your roller to prevent it from sticking to the dough. Place on an a lightly greased pan. I have even not greased the pan before and had really good results. Place in oven for 12 - 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown and nice and fluffy.

Let cool a little before handling them.

Cheesy Potatoes

I made this the other night and it was a hit with everyone but J but he hates change anyway. LOL

Cheesy Potatoes
By:Tammy Channel

2 1/2 pounds potatoes,peeled and cut
water enough to cover the potoatoes
1 tbs salt


Peel the taters and cut them,rinse them off and toss them into you pot. Cover them with COLD water and add your salt. Let them cook until soft,I poke mine with a fork to teste the doneness,when they break apart easily and don't stick to the fork they are done.

Remove pan from heat and pour potatoes to a colendar to drain off the water. Place in a large mixing bowl or your mixer bowl. Turn on to start mashing to taters.

Add a stick of butter,cut up, and continue mashing. Then add 1 cup of evaporated milk and keep going until it's all mixed in.

Then add 4 oz of cream cheese cut up and let it keep stirring and mashing until the cheese is completely melted into the taters.

Serve with your favorite main coarse and a side of homemade ww rolls.
