    What's cooking Suzanne?

    By Staff
    Suzanne Langcuster
    Franklin County Times
    Christmas is not even a week away and we are ready, right?
    Well, if you aren't, we have some good last minute easy recipes for you. The ingredients in this weeks recipes will be easy to find in our area.
    An old friend Janet Jolly gave the Jefferson Biscuits recipe to me, at the grocery store. She acquired the recipe from a friend and was so generous to pass it on to me. It is a quick, delicious biscuit.
    Included also is a good, easy meat dish, and an appetizing salad. With hot biscuits you will have a good quick meal. I hope you fancy the holiday sweets. Relish every day as you prepare your Christmas treats. What a joyous season.
    Jefferson Biscuits
    1 c. self-rising flour
    1 small carton whipping cream
    In a small bowl, mix flour and whipping cream. Sprinkle flour on your counter top and roll out the dough so you can cut it. With a medium size cutter, cut out the biscuits. There will be about 10. Place on an greased cookie sheet and bake at 400 for about 10 minutes or until slightly brown. Delicious.

    2 T. melted fat or oil
    Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Add raisins. Stir in egg, cranberry sauce, and fat or oil. Add dry ingredients to cranberry mixture. Stir just until mixed. Pour into greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees about 45 minutes until browned.
