    Title: Sopapillas (Fried Biscuits)

    My mom used to make these when I was a kid but we'd put cinnamon sugar on them. It's been decades since she
    made them by hand. Good memories.

    We made them in scouts with cinnamon sugar too.

    It's important to have good memories like that.

    3/4 c Milk
    1/4 c Margarine; melted
    3 Eggs; slightly beaten
    2 tb Sugar
    2 ts Salt

    Combine and sift all dry ingredients into a bowl. To the eggs add
    milk and margarine--then blend into dry ingredients. Turn the dough
    out onto a lightly floured board, knead until smooth. Taking small
    pieces of dough, roll into balls about 1-1/4" in diameter--then set

    tortilla press and waxed paper, flatten each ball into a 5" circle;
    stack with paper between. When all are rolled, let stand about 20
    minutes. Fry in hot oil to a golden color--turn and fry other side.
    Drain on paper towels. Dust with cinnamon and sugar on one side.

    It is. My mom taught me how to cook, bake, read recipes, and how to take
    care of myself at an early age and that's helped me a lot over the years.

    I'm glad I can cook with things beside a microwave!

    take care of myself at an early age and that's helped me a lot over
    the years.

    I've been told that being able to cook and being willing to wash dishes
    are surprisingly valuable assets when living in community. Even living
    alone, being able to cook greatly increases quality of life. True, not everyone has the privilege of the use of a kitchen. Home cooking gives
    the satisfaction of having a meal made with love and as you like it. A
    benefit often on my mind is the ability to omit certain things from the ingredients. Often, affordable products contain unnecessary stuff, for
    example a local store-brand flavored sparkling water has a preservative
    (Sodium Benzoate) but it's just water! I was sent on an errand to find cranberry sauce without corn syrup, for Thanksgiving. No grocery store
    in my area carried that. They do sell raw cranberries, and it's fairly
    easy to make home-made cranberry sauce. It's not health food, but it's
    an example.

    It's imparative for me to make my own food to improve my poor health. Too much food these days has seed oils, chemicals, dyes, HFCS, and other bad things in it. I wouldn't wish my current health on anyone. If I knew then what I know now, I'd be in a lot better shape.
