Cooking with the Pillsbury Doughboy

{Or more accurately:  Cooking with Earl}

I am joining Jo and Lynn for the Celebrity Cook Along, the Pillsbury Doughboy!

I am teaching Shelley (my thirteen year old daughter) how to cook, so I let Shelley pick the recipe.




Baking Powder Biscuits 


Prep time: 15 min
Cook Time: 10 min
Yield: 14 Biscuits



Ingredients:

2 cups Pillsbury BEST® All Purpose Flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening
3/4 to 1 cup milk




Preparation Directions:

1. HEAT oven to 450°F. COMBINE flour, baking powder and salt in large bowl; mix well. With pastry blender or fork, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stirring with fork, add enough milk until mixture leaves sides of bowl and forms a soft, moist dough.
2. TOSS dough lightly on floured surface until no longer sticky. Roll or press dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with floured 2-inch round cutter. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
3. BAKE 8 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown. Serve warm.





Please join Lynn and Earl @ Happier Than a Pig In Mud for this fun linky party.  Jo @ Lazyon Loblolly is hosting a giveaway, too.  Jo will be giving away a Pillsbury Cookbook and the Pillsbury Doughboy!!!  :D

We are also having thinly sliced beef tenderloin with horseradish sauce served on the biscuits with a pear, arugula, and gorgonzola salad.

What are you cooking tonight for supper?

Blessings!
