Biscuits

These were amazing.  I have tried probably 5 different biscuit recipes and can finally end my search.

Makes 6 grand sized biscuits

2 C. flour

1 T. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

1 T.  White Sugar

1/3 C. shortening

1 C. milk

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually stir in milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl (you might not need all of the milk).
3. Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead 15 to 20 times--do not over-knead. Pat or roll dough out to 1 inch thick. Cut biscuits with a large cutter or juice glass dipped in flour. Repeat until all dough is used. Brush off the excess flour, and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet.
4. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges begin to brown.
5. These were 8 Weight Watchers points plus each--Ouch!  But oh so yummy!
6. The recipe was taken from Allrecipes.com called "J.P.'s Big Daddy Biscuits"    http://allrecipes.com/recipe/jps-big-daddy-biscuits/

Teriyaki Sauce

This is a nice thick teriyaki sauce. 

1/4 C. soy sauce
1 c. water
1/2 tsp ground ginger (I used the dried spice kind...not fresh)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
5 Tablespoons packed brown sugar (I reduced it to 1/4 C. which is 4 T just to lower the sugar content and it tasted great)
1-2 T. honey (I missed this when I was reading the recipe---So I didn't add this either)
2 T. cornstarch
1/4 C. cold water

Mix all but cornstarch and 1/4 C. cold water.  Heat until boiling.  Reduce heat.  Mix cornstarch and water separately.  Add corstarch to 1st mixture and heat until thick.
