since there have been some post about Dutch Oven Cooking I thought I would post this one.
Dutch Oven Biscuits
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons shortening
1 cup milk(diluted evaporated milk is okay)
Blend flour, salt, and baking powder together, mash in the shortening with a fork until a crumbly mixture is formed, add milk, and stir until the dough sags down into the trough left by the spoon as it moves around the bowl.
Turn the dough out on a floured mixing surface, knead for 30 seconds, pat out the dough gently until it is 1/2 inch thick. Cut the biscuits with a round cutter, or pinch off dough and form by hand.
Put biscuits into a greased Dutch oven, cover, and bury in bright coals for 5 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
