Biscuits For Breakfast..

My Homemade Biscuits

2 cups all purpose flour./Bread Flour-which I prefer.
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup milk

Combine all dry ingredient and blend well with whisk. Cut in butter until resembles coarse bread crumbs. Stir in milk until all comes together to form a dough ball. Turn out dough ball onto a heavily floured surface (I use wax paper). Let set for a couple of minutes and then knead for about a minute and then re-flour surface and pat out to about 1/2″ thick. Cut biscuits with floured biscuit cutter and place into uncreased baking pan. Form remaining dough into ball and repeat until all dough made into biscuits. This recipe will make approximately 12 biscuits. Bake in 425-degree oven for 12-15 minutes.  I always brush my biscuits with little melted butter on top after they come out of the oven. I prefer using bread flour with this recipe. An I always shift my flour. You don't have too but I do because it gives the biscuits a more fluffy taste.

I do hope you enjoy this recipe. I think you will be really surprised how these will turn out for you. Sorry it took me so long to post. I have been so busy with other thing's, but I am back! lol. Have a great day everyone an enjoy!

A Touch Of Peppermint

FREE Graphic for you.

Well its finally Friday. This week has seem to have flown by. I hope each of you are enjoying the free graphics I am sharing with yall. You can do so much with these graphics. Make labels for presents, cards, ornaments. Lots of things. This graphic to day I am sharing with you brought back a memories for me. The peppermint wheels. I love peppermints especially during the winter time. I remember as a child my Mother would buy my brother an I a big round stick of peppermint. It would take us days to eat that thing. Most of the time we could never finish it, but it sure was fun trying too. lol Every year I always get peppermint in my stocking still. I really enjoy that, brings the kid out in me still. lol. Many ice-cream makers make the Peppermint ice cream and it is good, but I have a recipe for you to have that I really believe you will enjoy. Very simple and easy to make. You will enjoy sitting by the fire as you nibble on this wonderful treat. I know we all don't need the sugar but just a little won't hurt will it? lol And I know it's so much easier to run to the store an just buy some, but really it isn't the same when you know you made it yourself and your kiddos can see Mom or Dad make them homemade ice cream. I know my kiddos enjoy watching me make different ones for them to try. So I am sharing with you another sweet recipe for your taking. I hope you give it a try. Again thanks to each of you for stopping by my little place on the world wide web and sharing your time with me. I am still visiting yalls blogs and putting each of you down for the giveaway. I really do appreciate you. Have a blessed day and weekend. ~Dena

In The Oven Barbecue-Style Pork Chops

6 center cut pork chops, trimmed if desired.

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

One 14 1/2 ounce can whole tomatoes, crushed

1/2 cup ketchup

1/4 cup dark brown sugar

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons prepared mustard

pinch of salt

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Brown your chops in the oil. Drain, then place in a baking dish. I normally use a 13x9. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over your chops. Bake for 40-45 min. Don't over cook them. Pork can dry out fast. These are great served with mac an cheese, corn on the cob, mayo rolls or even a sweet potato. Enjoy everyone!
