Biscuitburgers

    Hi! Did you miss me? As promised, I have made another Bisquick recipe! This one comes from "Betty Crocker's Bisquick Party Book: 97 gay new ideas and recipes...for coffee time through late T.V....from appetizers to desserts!" published in 1957 by General Mills.
    This little booklet includes both recipes and suggested menus. I love the menus! They seem to be from a kinder simpler time, with titles like, "Luncheon For The Girls", "Party Brunch", "Company's Comin' For Dinner", and "Snacks For The Young At Heart". (No old fogies need apply). Was there really a time when you would "invite your neighbors in for coffee" and a "quick-to-whip-up hot bread"? I barely know my neighbors names! 
    I picked the recipe for "Biscuitburgers". It is featured in the "After-The-Game Supper" along with French Fries and either Apple Short Pie Cobbler or Strawberry Shortcake. I went a different direction with it and served it as an evening "breakfast" along with a mushroom, onion, and monterey jack omelet.

min. Serve hot as a finger food.

        Richer Biscuit Dough

Mix 1/4 cup soft butter or shortening,

or 3 tbsp. salad oil into Bisquick. 

Combine. Add 2/3 cup milk. Stir with

fork. Beat 15 strokes. It will be stiff,

but sticky.

    Since I was going with a breakfast theme, I used maple sausage. They turned out fabulously. They were so cute. Auntie thought they looked like little pot pies. We each had one with our omelet. Yum!
    These make a neat little breakfast. Might I suggest having one with a bit of strawberry jammmmm......
