To make cinnamon sugar mixture, melt the butter. Spread butter, sprinkle brown sugar, and sprinkle cinnamon on top of rolled out dough. Roll the dough into a cylinder, with cinnamon side in.

Easy Biscuits

A couple of weeks ago I was reading the insert in the Saturday Star-Telegram called Relish. It's a Parade Magazine type section with recipes and food info. On the first page was a recipe for Whipping Cream Biscuits. It had two ingredients! I couldn't believe it. This morning, Graysen and I made them, and they are probably the best biscuits I've ever eaten. Here's the recipe.

2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup whipping cream

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Mix ingredients in large bowl. Knead dough 10 times on a floured surface. Roll out and cut into 12 biscuits. Bake for 10 minutes.

Benito's Review by Shanna

Every time my husband, Chris, says, "Do you want to go to Benito's tonight?" I say, "Yes!" We love Benito's. It seems like a lot of our favorite places are on Magnolia. It's located just a few blocks east of 8th Avenue.

As you enter the restaurant, you will be overwhelmed by the Little Shop of Horrors-esque plant area. Ask for a booth, as the colorful, ladder back chairs are not that comfortable. The margaritas are great, but they also have fish bowl size schooners of beer as well.

My favorite appetizer is the Ceviche Tostada. If you've never had ceviche, it's fish cooked in lime juice with tomatoes, onions, and jalapeno peppers. All of this is served on a corn tostada.

For the main course, I would order the Enchiladas Suizas. You'll get two (or three) chicken enchiladas smothered in sour cream with a side of rice and beans. If you order an entree, you will get a bowl of tortilla soup. Chips and salsa are not standard here. The waitress always brings a bowl of pico de gallo which goes well with the soup and entree. Make sure you try the corn tortillas. They are perfect for getting the sour cream sauce that lingers on your plate.

For dessert, I would recommend the flan. This is a sinful custard like dessert. You will love this casual, local restaurant the next time you are craving Mexican food.
