| In DiningInMass.com's every
day search for "secrets" that excite our appetites, we have stumbled on a secret
ingredient used in the baking of Maine Biscuits which makes them extra special. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We discovered this recipe from a wonderful waitress at a
wonderful restaurant in Camden, Maine - Cappy's Chowder House.
The resturant is Cappy's Chowder House 1 Main Street (Route
1) in downtown Camden, ME. They have an extra special recipe for Clam Chowder and you
definitely want to order a cup (or bowl!) while you are there. 207-236-2254. (Don't forget
to tell them you saw it on DiningInMass.com - THANKS)

The recipe below can be found on the back of the can of this secret ingredient:
"The Original Bakewell Cream"
Bakewell Cream Biscuits

4 cups of flour
4 tsp. Bakewell Cream
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup shortening
1+1/2 cups cold milk
----------------------------------
Mix and sift dry ingredients.
Add shortening and mix with pastry blender.
Add milk all at once, and stir quickly with a fork.
(Some flours may require a little more liquid to make a nice
soft dough.)
Turn out on floured board and knead 5 or 6 times.
Roll or pat to 1/2" to 3/4" thick. Cut with Biscuit
Cutter.
Bake at 475 degrees for 5 minutes.
Turn off heat and leave in oven for 5 to 10 minutes until golden
brown.
These biscuits are extra high and light.
