OLD TIME CRACKLING BISCUITS
2 cups all purpose flour, sifted (for lightest biscuits, sift, then measure)
1 tsp. sugar
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped cracklings or crisp bacon, crumbled
3 tbsp. melted crackling or bacon drippings, strained
2 large eggs
1/3 cup buttermilk or light cream
1 1/2 tsp. caraway seeds
Combine dry ingredients and sift together. Add drippings and cracklings. Beat
eggs well. Add buttermilk or cream to eggs; stir in flour using a wooden spoon
or spatula. Do not overmix; stir only a few times or the biscuits will be
tough.
Pat dough out on a lightly floured work surface or silpat to a thickness of
about 3/4-inch. Cut into 3 inch rounds with a biscuit cutter. Arrange on a
greased or parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with cream. Sprinkle tops
evenly with caraway seeds. Bake in a preheated 450°F oven for 9-15 minutes
(depends on size and thickness of biscuits). They should be lightly golden
brown. For soft sided biscuits, crowd them closer together on
pan.~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~
