Good evening from the mountain…
Restful day and I am now making fresh biscuits and mystery meat
gravy, with fried cabbage and onion tops from the garden. The meat really is not a mystery, it is
ground cow meat from the freezer, but the kids got to pick, they wanted goat,
but I did not have any ground goat left, I think I had ground lamb and deer in
the other freezer, all from here of course.
I just wanted the kids to feel as if they get a say in dinner and the meat
they eat. I want them to know all meat
is good.
Here is my recipe for mystery meat gravy:
To feed 4 people well, you will need to brown two pounds of meat,
next take ½ cup of flour, I used fresh ground red wheat flour. Mix with the meat and grease. You will now start to add your milk, you will
need 5 cups; I use whole milk, never use 1 % or 2% milk or even skim as that is
what people feed calves in productions farms to make them fat. I use whole goat milk for mine; I would use
cow if I had it. Add milk about a cup at
a time until you have added it all, keep stirring over medium heat until it starts
to bubble up a bit, them once it is almost thick enough pull from the heat, it
will thicken a bit more as it cools. Add
a little pepper..and land salt or salt, do not use white store bought store,
believe you don’t even want to know.
Quick drop biscuits:
4 cups fresh ground flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
4 teaspoons of honey
1 teaspoon –cream of tarter
½ teaspoon salt, I used pink salt, lots of good things in there.
1 cup melted butter
2 cups of milk
Mix all dry ingredients together, then add butter and milk, do not
over mix, should look a bit lumpy. Drop
by big spoonfuls onto parchment lined cookie sheet, bake at 450 degrees until a
bit golden around the top.
Now you too can cook like we do here on the farm…
Be blessed and rest well
