Title: Baking Powder Biscuits
Categories: Breads
Yield: 15 servings

2 c All-purpose flour
1 tb Baking powder
1 ts Salt
1/3 c Vegetable shortening
1 c Whole milk

Recipe by: BAKERS’ DOZEN (MARION CUNNINGHAM) SHOW Preheat the oven to 450.
Grease on 8-inch square baking pan or small baking sheet. Put the flour,
baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add the vegetable
shortening and toss it to coat with the flour. Break the chunk into 5 or 6
smaller chunks and start rubbing the flour and shortening together with
your fingers and letting the mixture fall back into the bowl. This does not
take long; when the mixture looks like irregular lumps you have mixed
enough. Add the milk all at once and stir to moisten all the flour and
shortening. Dust a surface with flour, turn the dough onto the surface and
knead the dough ten times. Pat the dough into a circle about 1/2 to 3/4 of
an inch thick. Cut the biscuits with a two-inch cookie cutter and place on
the prepared pan with a little space between the biscuits. Bake 15-18
minutes or until the tops are lightly browned. Serve hot with butter and
honey.

Yield: 15 biscuits

CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP WITH WILD RICE

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 1/3 c (8 oz) uncooked wild rice
3 lb Broiler-fryer chicken,
-cut up
7 c Water
12 oz Sliced mushrooms
2 tb Cooking oil
1 c Chopped onion
1 c Chopped celery
2 tb Instant chicken bouillon
-granules
3/4 ts White pepper
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 c Butter
3/4 c Flour
4 c Milk
3/4 c Dry white wine

Cook wild rice according to pkg. directions for 30
minutes; drain off liquid and rinse. Set partially
cooked rice aside.

In a large Dutch oven or stockpot, combine the chicken
and water and bring to boiling. Reduce heat, cover and
simmer for 35 to 40 minutes or until chicken is
tender. Remove chicken from broth and let stand until
cool enough to handle. Skim fat from broth. Strain and
reserve broth. Remove chicken meat from bones. Cut
into bite-size pieces.

In the same pot, cook mushrooms in hot oil for 4 to 5
minutes or until tender.

Add onion and celery. Cover and cook for 5 to 10
minutes or until tender, stirring once (I’d probably
do the onion and celery first, until transluscent, and
then add mushrooms and cover and cook). Remove from
heat. Return broth to the stock pot.

Add partially cooked wild rice to the chicken broth.
Stir in the granules, white pepper and salt. Bring to
boiling and then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered,
for 15 minutes.

In a large saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the
flour until smooth. Add milk all at once. Cook and
stir until bubbly. Stir into soup mixture. Stir in the
chicken pieces and wine, and heat through. Makes 8
servings.
