THE BEST HOMEMADE EGG ROLLS
INGREDIENTS
1 pound ground pork
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp ground ginger
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 small carrot, shredded
1 package (25 7-inch square) egg roll wrappers
2 tbsps flour
2 tbsps water
1 quart peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
your favorite Asian dipping sauce
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Cook the pork and garlic in the vegetable oil until the pork is no longer pink. Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and ground ginger. Set aside to slightly cool.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pork mixture with the shredded carrots and cabbage. In a small bowl, make a paste out of the flour and water.
3. Lay out an egg roll wrapper with a corner pointed towards you. Place 1/4 cup of the pork and vegetable mixture into the center of the wrapper. Brush the corner farthest from you with the flour paste. Fold the corner closest to you up over the mixture. Fold the left and right corners in towards the center, then tightly roll. The flour paste will help seal the egg roll. Repeat until all of the filling is used. (I ended up with 13 egg rolls total.)
4. Fry the egg rolls in the peanut oil (just a few at a time) until they are golden brown. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve with your favorite Asian dipping sauce.

Buttermilk biscuits

ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
3/4 cup buttermilk

Steps:
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk.

Stir just until the dough comes together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times. Pat the dough out into a 1-inch thick rectangle.

Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out as many biscuits as you can and place them on a baking sheet.

Gather the scraps and pat them out again, cutting out additional biscuits until all the dough has been used.

Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Serve warm. Enjoy!
