Scout Meeting Duties

At each scout meeting a certain patrol is in charge of something, whether it be flag, set-up or clean up. If your scout is apart of this, please be sure to either get him there on time or allow him enough time after the meeting to fulfill his duties.

Recipe of the Month

Very Moist Biscuits

Makes 18

4 c. flour

12 T. butter

6 t. baking powder

1 c. milk

1/2 t. salt

1 c. whipping cream

In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Use a pastry cutter or hands to cut in butter until mixture resembles a course meal. Using a fork, mix in milk and whipping cream until flour mixture is well moistened. Turn onto lightly floured area and knead dough 15 times. Shape into large ball. Roll dough out to half-inch thickness. Cut out biscuits using a three-inch diameter cutter. Gather up leftover dough, shape into ball, roll and cut out remaining biscuits.

Place biscuits into a 14-inch Dutch oven. Bake with 11 briquettes on the bottom and 17 on the top for 10-12 minutes. Remove lid and remove biscuits. This can also be done in a 400-degree oven.
