Thank you for the help.

Pam

Here is the recipe:

5 cups self-rising flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 TB baking powder
1/4 lb. shortening
2 cups buttermilk

Mix flour, sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl. Whisking well to combine.

Cut in shortening with your finger tips. Add in buttermilk and mix well until all is incorporated.

Roll out about 3/4-inch thick. Cut with a 2-inch round biscuit cutter. (Do not twist the cutter as you cut.) Place biscuits on a parchment paper lined baking sheet about 1/2-inch apart.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes. Makes 3 dozen biscuits.

Any help is appreciated!

I dunno about all of you, but we have had balmy weather the last couple of weeks, with record highs for March, several days even reaching into the 70's! It is fabulous! I have been wearing flip-flops for almost a week already!

Anyhoo...Burger grilling season has arrived early and I would like to know what everyone's favorite burgers are.

Alexa posted this one on the other thread. It sounds delish...of course almost every recipe of Ina's I have tried has been great!

Recipe Summary
Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 10 to 12 hamburgers
2 pounds ground chuck
1 pound ground sirloin
3 tablespoons steak sauce (recommended: Crosse & Blackwell)
6 extra-large egg yolks
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
12 hamburger buns

Carefully mix the meats, steak sauce, egg yolks, salt, and pepper with the tines of a fork, but do not mash it. Lightly form each hamburger and lightly press into a patty shape. Make an indentation and put a thin slice of butter inside each hamburger, making sure the butter is entirely encased in the meat.
Heat a grill, broiler, or saute pan and cook the hamburgers for 3 to 5 minutes on each side until almost done. Remove to a plate and cover with aluminum foil. Allow the hamburgers to rest for 5 minutes and serve immediately on buns.

I just found a Bundt version of my favorite Chocolate Cinnamon cake, so I tried that this afternoon. Now I'm collecting recipes. Do any of you have any favorites you'd like to share? Here's the one I made this afternoon:

Cinnamon Chocolate Bundt Cake

1 c. water
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1 stick (1/2 c.) butter
1/4 c plus 1 T. (or 5 T.) cocoa

2 c. all-purpose flour
2 c. sugar
1/2 t. salt
1 1/2 t. cinnamon

1/2 c. buttermilk
1 t. baking soda

2 eggs
1 t. vanilla

Bring to a boil in a pot: Water, oil, butter and cocoa.
In a large bowl, combine together with a whisk: flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon.
Add the chocolate mixture to the flour and mix until combined.
Add the buttermilk and baking soda and mix.
In a small bowl, combine the eggs and vanilla. Add to the batter and combine.
Pour batter into greased 10 or 12-cup Bundt pan and bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 30-35 minutes.
Cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
Top with a dusting of powdered sugar or a simple glaze.
