Recipe's From Jill Day's Kitchen

Here are a few of my recipes that I use all the time.

Baking Powder Biscuits:
2 cup flour
4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup shortening (or you can use margarine/butter)
2/3 cup milk

Mix the dry ingredients together. Cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly. Make well in middle and add milk all at once. Stir until dough forms. On a lightly floured surface roll dough out, and then using a cup or cookie cutter, cut out biscuits into desired shape. bake at 450 for 8 minutes or until edges turn golden.


Coconut Butter Syrup
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp coconut extract

Combine buttermilk, butter, and sugar in a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil stirring constantly. Boil for a minute or two then remove from heat. Add baking soda and coconut extract.


Chicken Broccoli Dinner

Chicken Breasts (cooked and cubed, I usually just do one big breast or two little ones, but do as much as you want)
2 cans cream of chicken
6 cups cooked rice
1 1/2 cup broccoli (chopped)
salt and pepper
1 to 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
chow mein noodles

Steam broccoli until done. Set aside. Heat up cream of chicken either on the stove or in the microwave until warm. Combine cream of chicken, broccoli, rice and chicken. Salt and pepper to taste. Spread in 9x13 baking dish and cover with grated cheese. Place in oven at 400 until cheese melts. Pull out of oven and top with chow mein noodles.

*you can substitute broccoli for mixed veggies

Buttermilk Chicken

You will need:

4 chicken breasts

1 & 1/2 cup buttermilk

3/4 cup flour

1/2tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/4 cup butter

1 can cream of mushroom soup

directions:

Combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dip chicken into 1/2 cup buttermilk. Roll the chicken in the flour mixture. Melt butter in a bowl or whatever and pour it into a baking pan. Put the chicken into the pan. Bake at 425 for 30 minutes. Turn the chicken over and bake for 15 mor minutes.

Combine 1 cup of butter milk and cream of mushroom soup and pour it over the chicken. Bake for 15 more minutes and then it is done.

Oh and when i make this I usually cut the recipe in half because there is only two of us.
