Best Biscuits + Chicken Salad

Seems like it's always about the biscuits and the chicken in the south...as they say, "when in Rome..."

Best Biscuits & Chicken Salad

2 cups all purpose flour

1 cup self-rising buttermilk corn meal

1 Tbsp baking powder

1 Tbsp sugar

½ tsp onion powder

½ tsp salt

¾ tsp cream of tartar

1 cup butter flavored Crisco (+ 1 Tbsp water)

1 cup milk

Combine dry ingredients in medium bowl and cut in Crisco and water until crumbly.  Pour milk over top and stir just to moisten.  Pat out dough on lightly floured surface to ½ inch thickness.  Cut in two inch circles and place on ungreased cookie sheet.  Cover with dishcloth for 30 minutes.  Pre-heat oven 450º; place dab of butter on each biscuit. Bake 15-18 minutes until golden brown.  Remove from cookie sheet immediately.

Chicken Salad

1 cup cooked and chopped chicken

1 Tbsp sour pickle relish

1 tsp paprika

½ tsp fresh ground black pepper

¼ cup of mayonnaise

Mix all ingredients together and spread.  Slice biscuits and spread with salad.  Serve with corn chips and Silly Dilly Beans.
