Cinnamon Nut Biscuits - *P Cooking Class Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
3/4 cup milk
3 tbsp melted butter
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sug
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Recipe Preparation
PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 450F. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt
in a large mixing bowl. Cut in the vegetable shortening using a
pastry blender or two knives until the mixture has the consistency of
coarse crumbs. Add the milk, adding more milk if necessary so the
dough is pliable but is still wet. Turn the dough onto a heavily
floured surface, and knead it lightly (8 to 10 times). Do not
overwork the dough. Roll the dough into a rectangle 1/3-inch thick.
Mix the melted butter with the brown sugar, cinnamon and nuts. Press
the mixture into one half of the dough, then fold the dough over to
encase the filling, pressing it lightly to adhere. Cut out biscuits
with a 2-inch round cutter (the diameter of a juice can), dipping the
cutter in flour between cutting each biscuit so they do not stick.
Place the biscuits on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in the
center of the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve
immediately, or bake up to 2 hours in advance and reheat for 5
minutes in a 300F oven. Makes 12 to 14. These biscuits are delicious
served warm with sweet butter or apple butter.
Servings: 12

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weightDrink more water. At times during a hectic day, you guess you are peckish but in truth you might only want a restorative glass of water or cranberry juice. The sensations of needing food and needing a drink are close, but one can result in a fat tummy and the alternative is ok.
Some reduced carb diet pointers:
* Food labels can be misleading Don't trust food labeling that boasts to be 'low carb' - check the real nutritional information on the rear of the tin or package. Quite a few are only slightly less and in some cases still greater than a competitors standard brand. In addition, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are just the same.
* Use soya flour or soy baking mix. When you need to use flour for baking, substitute soya flour or a bake mix like Atkins baking mix. In many cases, you can change your most popular recipes that use standard wheat flour to use these low carbohydrate alternatives.
