Good-Bye Hostess

    Good bye to a Southern Treat ~                 

  Saying good-bye to a favorite snack cakes in America.  Favorites included Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Sno balls, Orange Cupcakes,Wonder bread and other favorites that graced many a lunch bag at work ,school,and afternoon treats.  And yes some cooks took a Twinkie and dipped it in a batter and deep fried this sweet treat ~

Altho these favorite cream filled sweet cakes were not the healthiest for one's well being,it is the wonderful memories we have when our mother's alway had a bowl of these treats on the kitchen table.

Hostess Brands is one of the largest wholesale bakers and distributors of fresh delivered bread and snack cakes in the United States. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy~ Thanks for the memories even tho I have not had your products since I was in grade school~

My thoughts and prays go out to the 18,500 employees who are now without jobs ~Blessings

3.  Toss in the sifted flour mixture stir til well blended.  Continue to stir the flour mixture scraping the bowl til all the flour is incorporated to make the dough.
4. Grease a large bowl with olive oil and add the dough. Make sure you grease the top and side of the dough after placing into the bowl.
5.Cover bowl with a tea towel, let rise til dough doubles in size in a warm place.

Chicken Pot Pie Gravy Over Biscuits

                            Make a simple white gravy with butter,flour,milk,Italian herbs and chicken stock~ if the sauce thickens to much add more milk and stir often.

                                    Chop your vegetables and boil in water drain,then add to gravy. You can add whatever favorite vegetables you like to this dish~

       Boiled 4 chicken breast ,or buy a roasted chicken and tear meat into pieces,add to gravy~

  Bake Biscuits ~ I prefer to make them a bit brown on top as you want some texture and crunch to this recipe.

  Take two Biscuits per serving , split biscuits open on plate. Spoon on the Chicken Pot Pie Gravy over the Biscuits. Add fresh ground pepper & paprika ~Enjoy ~~~Hot sauce is a nice topping~
