Corn Biscuits Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened -- at room
1 temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup yellow cornmeal
2 eggs at room temperature
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (approx)
Recipe
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Stir the butter into a soft
mass; slowly add sugar, blending together well. Add cornmeal, eggs,
and salt. Beat until the mixture is smooth; add 1-1/4 c. flour (the
mixture will be soft and moist). Roll the dough out to 1/4"
thickness; if the dough is too sticky to roll, add 1/4 c. flour and
blend into the top of the dough with your hands (I find it's also
easier if you roll out on a lightly floured board). Cut out 4 dozen
1-1/2" rounds with a cookie cutter (I've also used squares, etc. --
whatever cutters I had handy at the time). Place close together on a
lightly greased baking sheet, but don't let them touch. Bake on
center shelf for about 22 minutes or until biscuits are just starting
to turn slightly brown around the edges. Near the end of this baking
period turn the baking sheet around for even cooking. If the biscuits
near the outer edges of the sheet are browning too fast then just
remove them if they're done or rearrange the biscuits on the sheet so
the brown-er ones get moved to the center. Remove biscuits from the
oven and cool on a rack. These are wonderful served warm; they freeze
very well and can be warmed up when ready to serve.
If not freezing them, keep at room temperature in an airtight
container. Kept this way the biscuits will last up to 10-14 days.
These biscuits are terrific served with coffee or tea, or with a dish
of fresh fruit. They are slightly sweet with a wonderful, grainy
texture due to the cornmeal in the recipe. They're quite addictive.
(makes 4 dozen, but they don't last long!)

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weight
Recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. At times when going through a hectic day, you imagine you feel hunger but if truth be told you just need a restorative tumbler of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are quite alike, but one can result in weight gain and the alternative is fine.
Some reduced carbohydrate diet tips:
* Don't miss meals
Most low carbohydrate recipes are, not surprisingly, low in carbohydrates. Our bodies need energy, and carbohydrates are a quick acting source of energy. A lower carbohydrate diet requires care and attention in monitoring you energy intake, as any energy contributed by protein and fat is slower acting.
* Don't forget the fiber
Decreasing the carbs in your meals often results in fiber reduction as well. Check for reduced carbohydrate recipes that are rich in fiber to redress this.
Foods high in flavonoids
(inlcudes lettuce, kale, kidney bean and chamomile)
The compounds known as flavonoids which exist in these fruits and vegetables are believed to be good in helping to prevent cancer.
Nutritionalists researching the medical effects of flavonoids believe that they may well also have numerous other health benefits, including, but not limited to, anti-asthma and antiplatelet activities..
A good number are also good for weight loss, so should be included in every weight loss program.
