It is a cold morning here in IA and that has me is a "comfort food" frame of mind.
More below the intertwined whatevers...
This a a fairly easy recipe that can be scaled for how many you are feeding.
For the biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup frozen butter, grated on large grater
1/4 cup extra sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large bowl mix flour, baking powder, salt and garlic powder.
Add grated butter and cheese and mix it in well.
Add the milk bit by bit until dough ball forms. Knead it just until the dough becomes ball without crumbles. Let it stand for couple of minutes.
Roll the dough on floured surface to 1 inch thickness. With cookie cutter cut circles and place them on covered tray with parchment paper. Pop to oven
for 12-15 minutes or until biscuits are puffed.
For the tuna
3 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper, course grind
6 ounces albacore tuna or chunk tuna
3 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
3 ounces diced pimentos
1/2 cup frozen baby peas
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese (optional)
8-12 biscuits
Directions
Prepare biscuits and have them baking in oven.
In a deep sauce pan melt the butter and whisk in flour to make a roux.
When your butter/flour mixture has cooked for a few minutes begin to add the
milk slowly, whisking frequently to ensure a smooth white sauce.
Add salt and pepper.
Bring to an "almost" boil, while continuing to whisk. Once you reach this
point turn your heat back down to low. (You might have to take pan off of the
burner for a minute or two if you are using electric so as not to scald white
sauce).
Add tuna, peas, and pimentos and lightly stir to combine ingredients
throughout the sauce.
**Here is where you would add your cream cheese (cut into small cubes) to your
sauce if you are using it.
Cook on low to medium low heat until heated thorougly, stirring occasionally.
Just before biscuits are done slice your hard boiled eggs and add to your
creamed tuna.
Give the sauce one last stir and then serve over hot biscuits.
