Soda Biscuits

❖ 3 1/3 cups flour

❖ 1 tsp baking soda
❖ 1 tsp salt
❖ 1/4 cup milk

Prep Time: 15 minutes; Cook Time: 20 minutes

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Mix together your dry ingredients. Add the milk, and work
the mixture with your hands until you have a nice dough that can be rolled out. Punch
out circles using a cup or cutter. Bake in the oven for 15–20 minutes.

Skillet Trout

❖ 3 trout, dressed (head, fins, tail, and guts removed)
❖ 1/4 cup cornmeal
❖ 1/4 cup flour
❖ 1 tsp salt

Prep Time: 5 minutes; Cook Time: 5 minutes

Mix together your dry ingredients. Pat dry your trout fillets before dredging them in your

mixture of dry ingredients. Once they are well coated, immediately fry them in hot oil in
a cast iron skillet until crispy and golden brown.

Winter Red Flannel Hash

❖ 1 1/2 cups chopped corned beef

❖ 1 1/2 cups chopped cooked beets
❖ 1 medium onion, chopped
❖ 4 cups chopped cooked potatoes

Prep Time: 10 minutes; Cook Time: 5 minutes

In a large bowl, mix together your chopped ingredients. Heat some oil in a cast iron skillet
on high. Add your mix of chopped items to the hot oil, and drop the heat down to low.
Allow 10 full minutes on low without disturbing the mix. This will form a good crust. Turn
out onto a plate, and serve with eggs.
