Biscuits, cheese steak sandwiches

Brandon decided to make some biscuits. They were the best biscuits ever. Nice and flaky crisp on the outside but not dry on the inside. He started with a recipe out of the Betty Crocker cookbook, but modified it. Yum! I got him to type in what he did so I could repeat it.


Sour Cream Biscuits

Ahh, those whole wheat biscuits gave me a craving for the better biscuit.

2 C. Flour
3 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. brown sugar
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. salt
2/3 C. butter flavor shortening
1/2 C. sour cream mixed with 1/4 C. milk

Mix all ingredients and bake for 10 mins at 450F.


He also made some cheese steak sandwiches. He used the bun recipe here only he used all white flour and we shaped them into oval shapes rather than round. Should have flattened them a bit more. They were a bit tall for a sandwich bun, but with the cheese steak they were delicious.

After Steak Dinner, Cheese Steak

Take the left over steak after the dinner and chop vigorously till in small bits. Saute onion and bell pepper in Butter, till caramelized. Add Steak and cook till meat is crisp. Sprinkle with cheese and serve into hoagie rolls once cheese is melted.
