Angel Bisquits

My late husband and I tried perfecting biscuits for YEARS!  I finally have the perfect recipe; these are light and fluffy, and we NEVER had any problems with them being dry or coming out wrong...I think they are the perfect biscuit.  We love using these for Biscuits and Gravy for Sunday morning breakfasts.

4 Tbls. Warm Water
5 1/2 cups flour
4 Tbls. Sugar
1 tsp. Salt
6 tsp. baking powder
2/3 c. Shortening, chilled
2 cups Buttermilk

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray.

In a small bowl activate the yeast with the water, set aside. In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients and the shortening until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the buttermilk and activated yeast just until mixed. Poor onto a flower surface and roll out to 1/2-inch thickness, cut into circles. Place on the parchment paper and bake for 13 minutes.

Perfectly Easy Crepe's

Crepes can seem like a daunting task, but when I make them my kids think it's their birthday or that I might be recognizing them as kings and queens for the day.  Although they seem fancy, this variety is super fast due to the fact that I use my nutri bullet to blend the ingredients, takes like 10 seconds, seriously, than I just pour from the cup I  blended it in, no mess and hardly and clean up.  Makes it so we can enjoy them all that more often!

2 eggs
1 C. Flour
3/4 C. Milk
1/2 C. water
3 Tbls. melted butter
2 Tbls Sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

In large nutri-bullet cup place all ingredients and blend for 15 seconds.  Heat skillet over medium high heat (I do 2 notches above medium).  Spray skillet in between each Crepe'.  Ladle a scoop of mix into skillet turning pan to coat the bottom.  let cook for 1 minute, with spatula turn crepe over and cook for 30 second more.  slide onto plate.

We like to use a small amount of nutella with bananas or strawberries.  Whipped cream and fruit, or just a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar.
