RECIPE OF THE WEEK

About a year ago, John and I took a few days of vacation and went to Indianapolis. We visited  Connor Prarie. This is a recreation of 3 historical periods in Indiana’s history. They had a neat gift shop, where I purchased a cookbook “101 Things to Do With Canned Biscuits”.  Once a month, I meet with the Hunger Ministry Committee.  I “bribe” them to come by feeding them. We are working our way through the cookbook.  Here are two recipes we especially liked.

CARAMEL APPLE PULL-APART BISCUITS

2 cans (12 oz. each) biscuits
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup whipping cream
