Ingredients
  1. 4 ounces (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces and refrigerated
  2. 1 1/2 cups flour - I used White Spelt or Gluten Free Cup4Cup flour
  3. 1 tsp of garlic powder
  4. 3/4 cut of shredded cheddar cheese
  5. 2 teaspoons baking powder
  6. 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  7. 3/4 cup milk - I used Silk Almond/Coconut Milk
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, garlic powder and salt.
  3. Add cheese in and coat with flour mixture.
  4. Toss butter into the dry ingredients until coated with flour. Working quickly and using your fingers or a pastry blender, rub or cut butter into flour until it resembles coarse meal. Alternatively, add flour mixture and butter to food processor and pulse 2 to 3 times to form pea-sized pieces; transfer to a large bowl.
  5. Add milk and stir with a fork until it just comes together into a slightly sticky, shaggy dough.
  6. For small biscuits: Using a teaspoon or small ice cream scoop, mound walnut sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. For large biscuits: Using a 1/4-cup measuring scoop, mound balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake biscuits until golden brown, about 15 minutes for small biscuits and 20 minutes for large ones. Let cool slightly, then transfer to wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Did Someone Say Date?

October 14, 2014 By

The word date can mean so many things – we can make something yummy with dates, we can make a jar to save our change and go out with someone special or we can have fun with a little person in the kitchen.   

Date Bar Sliced

First up – I made these amazing date bars from Elizabeth Finch – You can find the recipe HERE  They are made with good clean ingredients – almond flour, dates, honey, egg, nuts, etc. and are gluten free.  

I didn’t have pecans so I used a mixture of raw almonds, cashews and unsweetened coconut for the top.  I’m going to warn you that you’ll want to double this recipe because they are so yummy.  I found that after cutting into bars, wrapping in syran wrap and placing them in the freezer on a cookie sheet for about an hour.  Then I place all the wrapped up little presents in a large Ziplock bag to store in the freezer.  They can be eaten as a bar or sliced once you are ready to enjoy. 

I knew this was the recipe I wanted to try my new Vietnamese Cinnamon in – oh this was so worth the $8.00 – purchased at Sur la Table.

Cheese Scallion Biscuits

July 20, 2013 By

I love biscuits because they are fast.  These are extra special because they have a little monterey jack cheese and green scallions.  They are great with dinner, or with a bowl of soup for lunch or split one open for a Breakfast Egg Sandwich.  If you have any leftovers – they freeze well.  Using a gluten free flour mixture can provide a gluten free option.
