BAKING POWDER BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C.
• Sift together the dry ingredients, and add most of the milk. Knead until smooth, adding milk as needed.
• Form into a loaf. Make cuts into the loaf and brush it with milk or beaten egg. Bake for about an hour.

BAKING POWDER BISCUITS

Steps:

• 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.

EASY DROP DUMPLINGS FOR SOUPS AND STEWS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
• Add the milk and mix. The batter should be thick enough to be scooped and dropped from a spoon. Let it rest for a few minutes.
• Once the boiling stew or soup is nearly done, drop spoonfuls of the batter on top. Be sure that there is plenty of liquid in the pot, but try to keep the dumplings on top of the vegetables and meat.
• Cover and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the dumplings. Do not remove the lid until it is time to check the dumplings; when ready, a toothpick inserted into one of the dumplings should come out clean.
• Once done, spoon the stew or soup with the dumplings into a bowl and enjoy.
