For the skill of the month club series on old fashioned cooking, Nick makes baking powder biscuits to eat as biscuits and gravy. This breakfast was seen in our vlog #34 "What Happened to January?"

Biscuits:
3 cups flour
1 and 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
1 and 1/2 Tbsp sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup (cold) butter
1 cup milk
sift dry ingredients together
cut in 3/4 cup cold butter
add milk
knead to combine
roll out to 1/2 inch thick and use the top of a regular mouth canning jar (or a cutter of your choice) to cut out rounds.
Bake (on baking stone if possible) at 400 degrees or higher until just barely starting to brown, approximately 15 minutes
Hashbrowns:
peel and grate potatoes, set out to drain 20 minutes or so, pat dry if needed, fry in hot skillet in butter or the fat of your choice, serve immediately!
Enjoy!
