Garlic butter biscuits

Knead together:

1/2 cup cold butter.  I cut it real small and microwaved it for 20 seconds because I keep my butter in the fridge. 

2 cups flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp baking powder

2 tsp garlic powder

3/4 cup milk

Knead all together then roll out about 1/2 inch thick.  I cut the dough into circles with a cup.

Bake at 425 for 8 min.  When hot brush with:

1/8 cup melted butter 1 tsp garlic powder

This recipe makes 12.  I would double it next time.  

Won Ton Soup

Wontons

In a food processor blend:

8-10 shiitake mushrooms

4 green onions

1/2 inch peeled ginger

2 peeled garlic cloves 

1 egg yolk

1 tbsp soy sauce

2 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp rice wine vinegar

1/2 tsp chili sauce (optional)

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

Blend then add 2 lbs ground pork

Spoon into 42 wonton wrappers fold in a triangle and seal with water on a pastry brush.  Then attach corners together with water.  

Soup:

2 tsp sesame oil

2 medium carrots sliced

2-3 tsp fresh grated ginger

3 garlic cloves minced

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

9 cups chicken broth

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp rice wine vinegar 

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 lb shrimp (optional)

Sliced mushrooms

Snow peas

4 heads Bok choy

Add whatever veggies you desire

Don’t put the won tons in the soup until 5 minutes before you serve the soup.  I boiled the soup on high for 10 min then added the won tons. 

Left over won tons can be frozen separately then bagged.  We deep fried the extras but they were most delicious in the soup.
