My daughter asked if she could cook dinner one night a week, and Sundays worked out the best for us with no regularly scheduled activities to distract from meal preparations. With not being responsible for the evening meal, I was able to take the time to cook something a little more elaborate for breakfast.
– The Creamy Onion Soup my daughter prepared and served for the First Course of her Sunday Dinner
HOMESTEAD BISCUITS
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons lard
3/4 to 1 cup milk
Heat oven to 450F. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in lard until mixture is like coarse crumbs. Add milk and mix lightly to make a soft dough. Knead lightly on floured surface and roll to 1-inch thickness. Cut dough to desired size and place on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
Enjoy!
