I Reckon The Weeds Gotta Grow Too | Homestead Vlog | May 22, 2024

Today we are trying to get some garden work done before even more rain heads our way. The weeds are about to take our corn field. I am also cooking a farm to table supper tonight with canned venison, green beans, homemade biscuits and the best chocolate chip cookies! You can find the recipes below!

Simple Biscuits
2 cups self rising flour
3-4 Tbsp of lard or crisco
Sprinkle of salt
1 cupish of buttermilk

Set oven to 425 degrees. Preheat your pan. Cut lard into flour until there are pieces no bigger than the size of a pea. Add milk, mix until you see no more dry flour, then stop. Remove pan from oven, grease with lard or butter. Flour your hands, make a ball of dough the size of biscuits you want, place on pan. Flatten slightly. Bake around 15-20 minutes or until biscuits are as brown as you want them :)

Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cups AP flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
12 Tbsp melted butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 whole egg
1 egg yolk
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Set oven to 325 degrees. Combine flour, salt and baking soda in a small bowl. In a larger separate bowl combine melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Add egg, yolk and vanilla to sugar mixture, mix until all is combined. Add dry ingredients slowly to wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Spoon out mixture using a tablespoon onto cookie sheet. Bake for around 15 minutes until the edges are slightly brown and middle is still gooey. Allow to cool on cookie sheet. Enjoy!
