Mama Ward's Baking Powder Biscuits

My mother had the best and easiest baking powder biscuits. The ingredients are simply but the key to a nice fluffy biscuit is warmth of milk and how you handle your dough. I'm loving that my little boy loves to help me bake. He sure loves the kitchen as much as I do.  I know his "Mama Ward" would love this!

I love to make this as clean as possible. I love doing half and half whole wheat flour and white flour. If I do just whole wheat it's 4 tsp of baking powder instead of 3. 

2 cups of flour
3 tsp of baking powder 
1/2 tsp salt
4 tbsp softened unsalted butter
3/4 cup lukewarm milk

Mix all dry ingredients. Chop butter in dry mixture. Slowly mix and pour milk until dough is mixed. Slightly sticky. Knead gently and roll out to about 1/2 in thickness. Cut and bake at 350 for 10-12 min. Enjoy with butter, jam, or honey :) 




We did pumpkin cutters for fall. We realy wanted to do stars but thought we would wait for a couple more weeks. 




All ready to bake!!!


"Mom they huge!"

Along with the biscuits tonight, ryker helped me throw together some yummy individual meat loaf! It was something new I threw together and it turned out amazing. Our dear friends Wayd and Aubrey loved them:)

2 eggs
2 cups whole oats
1 cup Stubbs original bbq sauce 
1 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp  garlic powder 
1/2 tsp Lawrys seasoning salt 
A dash or too of cumin 

Mix all ingredients together. Form into 1/2 cup servings. Bake at 350 for 35-45 min.
