Ok, so I made the GF non beer battered fish the other day and I was so excited but it just didn't sit well with me (The Lil Chef liked it though). I decided to try the shrimp in the same batter and now I'm mad that I just figured this out/thought about doing this!!! This was majorly freaking GOOD!!! I may not do fish again for a WHILE but I will definitely be revisiting the shrimp sometime REALLY soon!!! (I'm thinking New Year's Eve perhaps)

[I AM DEFINITELY CRAVING BISCUITS AND SAUSAGE GRAVY! LOL I'M THINKING THIS WILL BE ON THE MENU FOR NOVEMBER!]  (American breakfast quick bread) 5 Average:  4.2   ( 32  votes) Here is an easy, quick recipe for basic American breakfast biscuits. Spread with jam or serve topped with a generous portion of  sausage gravy . Baking powder biscuits make a great addition to any Sunday morning breakfast. As with all quick breads, it helps to have all the ingredients for biscuits well chilled before starting, even the flour. Also, do not handle the dough any more than necessary. Overworking it will make the biscuits tough. 4 to 6 servings, or about 1 dozen biscuits INGREDIENTS Flour -- 2 cups (GF flour/baking mix. I prefer Bob's Red Mill One to One GF Flour mix) Baking powder -- 1 tablespoon Salt -- 1 teaspoon (Kosher Salt) Butter, cold, cut into small cubes -- 4 ounces, or 1/2 cup (Smart Balance) Mi...
