Tiffany and I made Minestrone last night and needed some bread to go with it. I decided to turn to this recipe I got from Dining on a Dime cookbook (which is available from LivingOnADime.com)

It is really simple and I almost always have these ingredients on hand.

Combine 1/4 cup shortening, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup milk in a bowl.

Batter will be lumpy. Last night we dropped the batter on the ungreased baking sheet with our ice cream scoop to make larger biscuits. Other times we’ve used our cookie dropper to make smaller biscuits. It’s up to you and how quickly you need them done.

We got eight of them last night. The recipe says it makes 10-12, so they are a little bit smaller than ours were last night.

Bake at 450º for 10-12 minutes. Since ours were a bit larger, we baked them for about 14 minutes.

So, if you need bread in a hurry, give these a try.

Until next time, God bless,
