ANGEL BISCUITS
I am certain this is close to manna. Thus the name Angel Biscuits.

1/4 cup warm water
2 cups of warm buttermilk
5 cups of all-purpose flour
1/3 cup of sugar
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tbsp salt
1 cup of shortening
Melted butter

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand 5 minutes. Stir in buttermilk; set aside.

In another bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender (is you don't have one I use a fork) until the mixture is small crumbs. Stir in the yeast/buttermilk mixture; mix well. Turn onto lightly floured surface; kneed lightly 4 times. Don't over kneed. Roll to a 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a 2.5" biscuit cutter. (mom always used a cup) Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place about 1.5 hours. Bake 450degrees for 8-10 minutes. Lightly brush tops with melted butter. Yields: about 2.5 dozen.

[flutemusic67]

1 1/2 to 2 lb boned stew meat (cut cube sized)
6 carrots
6 small potatoes
6 small onions
celery-several small pieces
3/4 cup V8 juice or tomato juice
1/4 cup water
3 tbsp tapioca
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp pepper
1 1/2 tsp salt

Place meat in large pan or roaster. Place vegetables on top of meat. Blend tomato juice, water, tapioca, salt, pepper, and sugar; pour over meat and vegetables. Cover and bake at 250 degrees for 5 hours.

No peeking until 5 hours are up!

You can substitute chicken for the beef, too.

This recipe is from my mother, but I have changed it. I use a crockpot now. Same ingredients, except use more tomato juice, water, and a bit more tapioca.

(In case you wonder, the tapioca makes the liquid become thicker and turns it into a delicious gravy. Yum!)
