Cloud Biscuits


To make these biscuits extra flakey and big, when you cut in the butter, leave it in large chunks instead of make small crumbs.

2 cups flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 cube butter

1 egg

2/3 cup milk

Mix dry ingredients and then cut in butter. Add milk and egg, stir until combined. Roll and cut with a round cutter. *I use a drinking glass, and I leave the dough fairly thick. Bake at 450 for 10 min. Serve with butter, honey and jam. These also make really good egg biscuits...just scramble or fry an egg and put on cut biscuit. You can also add a sausage patty. This makes a great grab and go breakfast. **you can also assemble them and then freeze them...then just pull out, heat in microwave and go.

Spiced Orange Fruit Dip

Try as I would, I could not get a great picture of this. Just take my word for it and try it....you'll be glad you did.
1 large jar marshmallow creme

1 (8oz) pakage cream cheese, very soft

6 Tablespoons orange juice concentrate

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Mix all together until smooth. Chill 1 hour and serve with fruit. This is especially good with orange slices and fresh pineapple. Surprisingly, this is also really great with coconut shrimp. Don't ask me how or why I decided to try it, but it really is super yummy.
