Southern Biscuits
2 1/2 cup Sifted, self-rising flour
1/2 cup Lard or shortening
1 cup Buttermilk


From "A Treasury or Southern Baking" by Prudence Hilburn.
HarperCollins; 1993.

Preheat the oven to 475'F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Put the flour in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center. Add
the shortening (lard) and buttermilk. Start working the flour into
the milk and shortening, squeezing the mixture through the fingers
until a soft dough is formed. This will be a sticky dough. Lift the
dough from the bowl and start folding, gently kneading or pressing
with the fingertips, and turning the dough until it is no longer
sticky. Pat the dough to a thickness of about 1/2". Cut with a 2"
biscuit cutter. (Or instead, many Southern bakers prefer to pinch off
small portions of dough to make balls about 1 1/2" in diameter. Roll
balls in your palms, place on baking sheet, and press with knuckles
to flatten slightly.) Place on baking sheet. If you want outside to
be crispy, the biscuits should be placed about 1" apart. For a soft
biscuit, place with edges touching. Bake for about 8 minutes, until
lightly browned. Best served hot from the oven, with butter, if
desired.

Dieting tips

If you enjoy your food, but need to become thin and also develop your overall vitality, then, as any dietician will tell you, you should follow a thoughtfully planned sensible weight loss program. In a perfect world, this ought to incorporate five standard portions of grains, cereals and vegetables per day and also contain the right combination of food types.

When deciding on a daily routine, the important thing is to make sure you cut back on your consumption of refined carbohydrate, fat and salt.

When buying food, dieters most certainly direct your attention to department store and brand name foods described as 'low-fat'. To do this is usually an error, given that a food might just be reduced in fat, but also dangerously high in calories and carbohydrates.

One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. Your body needs water , it is critical for our physical condition and possesses zero fat. It also fills the drinker's empty stomach and helps decrease sensations of hunger. A few nutritionalists claim that you should drink as a minimum six cups of water every 24 hours.

As an alternative to dwelling on which foods you really should eliminate from your weight loss program, focus on the "good" foods which you are able to add to your meal plan. If you are able to insert the recommended portions nourishing pulses and vegetables into your daily routine, you'll soon find that you feel full and have a far reduced risk of falling prey to those unhealthy between meals candies.
