Bread, Muffins, Pizza Crust, etc.

I don’t ever remember having biscuits served at meals during my childhood. Those living in the South were very lucky to have wonderful homemade biscuits at mealtimes. I know a man who said his family was very poor. His single Mom made biscuits for the 5 boys in the family every day. She whipped up 60 biscuits to feed her sons with nothing else but butter for breakfast, lunch, and dinner - every day. And he still loves her biscuits.

Biscuits are called magical, fluffy, light, airy, moist and golden inside, flaky, golden brown, just like Grandma’s, down-home country taste and the best thing I ever ate.

We are lucky that we can buy sodium-free baking powder for making our own biscuits. We can make them by cutting them out in circles with a biscuit cutter, triangles or we can add them to a square baking pan and cut them into squares. However you bake them, they will be wonderful.

There are different ways that people serve their homemade country biscuits, and I have added a few here:

Creamed chicken over biscuits- use unsalted butter in this meal. Little tea sandwiches can be made with biscuits. Spread wonderful fruit jam over a biscuit hot out of the oven. Fill them with crushed strawberries and whipped cream. Make little breakfast sandwiches with homemade no salt sausage, egg, and Swiss cheese. Fill with BBQ beef in a low sodium BBQ sauce. Add some slices of sweet onion and enjoy. The little ones might like a biscuit filled with no salt peanut butter, and jelly or banana. Or use the dough for sticky buns.

The options are endless. Enjoy your biscuits any way you can.
