Joshua calls this his "jella"! I love that!!! I use orgranic pear or organic grape juice and skip the sweetner. That way you children can have several pieces and I don't worry about it! :) I was looking for a dessert that Joshua would like and I came across this. Everyone thinks this is super yummy! I am so happy we can have a special treat that Joshua can enjoy with us. I am making him a big pan of this for his birthday today! :)
Love Always,
Mommy
The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Biscuits Supreme
Better Homes and Garden New Cookbook
1996 edition
2 C flour
1 TB baking powder
2 tsp sugar
½ tsp cream of tartar
¼ tsp salt
½ C butter, softened to room temperature
¾ C milk
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine all dry ingredients. Cut in butter with a pastry blender. Make a well in the center. Add milk all at once and stir until moistened.
Quickly knead dough by gentling folding and pressing dough 10-12 strokes or until nearly smooth. Pat or lightly roll out to ½” thickness. Cut dough with a 2 ½” biscuit cutter.
Place biscuits 1” apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden. Remove biscuits from baking sheet and serve hot. Makes app. 10 biscuits.
Mommy received this cookbook as a wedding present and I used it exclusively when Daddy and I were first married. Daddy really likes these biscuits and for the last two mornings I have made them for him for breakfast. I remember when I thought it took so much time and it was such a great effort to make these biscuits. Now I can mix them up and throw them in the oven in less than 10 minutes! I knew very little about cooking and baking when we were first married. I think you children probably already know more than I did. What a disadvantage! May the Lord grant Daddy and Mommy the grace and perseverance to teach you the skills that you will need for the rest of your lives. We love you! Enjoy the yummy biscuits! :)
