Baking Garlic, Cheese and Spinach American Biscuits!

You may remember about a week ago we had a baking day and made some 'pupcakes'. We decided to have a go at something a little different today, American Style Biscuits. They're thicker and softer than traditional English biscuits, they're kind of a cross between a biscuit and a scone? Anyway, we made some in a garlic, cheese and spinach flavour, which went down well with the girls. (I wouldn't recommend these for humans, bit of an odd combination for our sweet biscuit loving palates!)

Sampling their treats;

Lily decided to try stealing a chunk and running off...

Tut tut!

The recipe we used;
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter chilled, cut into pieces
2/3 cup milk - reduce milk slightly if adding wet ingredients for flavour

Bake at 450F for 12-15 minutes, allow to cool and tear in half to serve. Makes 12.

For the garlic, cheese and spinach flavour just add 1/2 tablespoon garlic paste OR 1 finely chopped clove, a small handful of grated chedder and a generous palm full of roughly chopped spinach.

We'll be doing another baking post in a few days, we're going to have a go at some traditional English type biscuits, the thin crunchy kind!

Love & licks,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe, Lily and Lola.
