My Foodie Call

Hi All!

I am back from the Thanksgiving craze. Although I call it a “craze”, it really wasn’t too bad. I think this year was a perfect blend of eating,  activity, and relaxing. I will not bother to share any of my “Thanksgiving recipes”, because my guess is that nobody cares :). We are all over Thanksgiving and ready for Christmas, am I right?

That said, my daughter was the star in today’s post. She made this recipe that we found  from 100 days of real food. They are whole wheat biscuits, whole wheat= great, and only a few ingredients. The original recipe is here.

Whole Wheat Biscuits

Here is the recipe. The only change from the original recipe is that she made them with almond milk.

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
• 1 cup almond milk

Directions

1. In a medium-sized bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well with whisk or fork.
2. Cut the ½ stick butter into small pieces and then mix into the flour mixture.
3. Using a fork, try to mash the butter pieces as you mix it together with the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Then pour in the milk and mix it all together. Knead the dough with your hands 8 to 10 times and then turn out onto a counter or cutting board.
5. Pat it out flat with your hands until the dough is a somewhat even ¾-inch thickness (sprinkle with a little flour if necessary).
6. Turn a mason jar upside down and cut out biscuit rounds.
7. Then put them on an ungreased baking sheet.
8. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 – 12 minutes or until lightly browned.

These really tasted good. Nice job, my lady!

Love her little biscuit arrangement. She snapped the photo too.
