Strawberry Biscuits
Strawberry Biscuits
3 cups of self rising flour
1 cup of sour cream
1/2 cup of butter melted
1 cup chopped fresh strawberries You can use frozen if you want just defrost and drain slightly
3 tablespoons of sugar
Preheat oven to 450
Mix chopped berries with sugar and set aside.
Combine flour, sour cream and butter. Then stir the chopped berries with the sugar into the flour mixture. At this point you can add a teaspoon of cinnamon, if you like, Cover your baking sheet with parchment paper, these tend to stick because of the fruit and the sugar. Or you could grease heavily. This dough is to soft to roll out so we scoop up a heaping spoonful and drop the dough onto a cookie sheet. Then, bake the biscuits for about 20 minutes or till golden brown. They are wonderful with butter and strawberry jam.

The Bantams get cuter
We thought we would write a quick update on our Bantams. They are sweet little birds and we think have turned out to be very cute. We still need to get a pen built for them, we have them a small coop. We are going to add them a small pen next door to our laying hens Remember, we bought assorted bantams, so we were really lucky to end up with four hens and only one rooster. We also had no idea what kind of bantams we were going to end up with, but are very happy with our little ones. We have a polish, (Grands calls it a chicken in a hat) a frizzle, a barred rock, a sebright and we are not sure about our rooster. If you have any idea what he could be please let us know. We will have to wait a while to see if we are going to get any eggs from our little ones. They are so cute we don't really care about eggs. We know they will add a lot to the farm and we are really enjoying them. We will let you know when they get moved into the new pen and how they like it. Please enjoy the pictures below showing how much they have grown and changed.
