what's cooking wednesday - garlic & cheese biscuits

Time to get back in the swing of things. Time to get back to cooking. Especially since one of my best girls got me a subscription to a cooking magazine for Christmas. This recipe is an oldie, but with a twist. Papa came to join us for dinner last week and I had sent Mike a text asking him to grab some buns on the way home, but he didn't see it until he was home so I had to come up with something else. I knew I didn't have time to make buns, but I could make biscuits. So I did.




2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter
1 egg yolk (reserve egg white)
1 cup sour cream

Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it's crumbly. Mix in the sour cream. Roll the dough out to 1 inch thick, cut into circles and brush tops with egg whites. Bake at 375 degrees F on an ungreased baking sheet for 15 minutes.

So that's my go-to biscuit recipe. This time around, since I had made lasagna I tossed in some minced garlic. I had some of the jarred stuff, so I threw in a couple of tsp-ish. Then I cut up some cheddar into cubes and kneaded it into the dough. I never get out my rolling pin for this. I find it easier to just press out the dough with my hands. They were delicious. In fact, I could go for a couple right now, but I'm out of points.




What is What's Cooking Wednesday and how can I play?

What's cooking Wednesday was born out of a desire to get out of that what's for dinner rut. Playing is easy, on Wednesday post a recipe that has been tried and tested by you and then pop over here and add your name to the Mr. Linky. When entering your name also add the name of the recipe in brackets and make sure you link to your What's Cooking Wednesday post and not just your blog's front page.

*All front page links will be deleted!*
*Posts that aren't linked back will be deleted*
*Posts that don't include some sort of a recipe will be deleted*

Don't make me be a jerk. And don't forget to link back here, the home of What's Cooking Wednesday.

So for example I would write Shan (Speedy Chicken Stir Fry) in the name section. For the URL section I would post this: http://shanrev.blogspot.com/2007/10/whats-cooking-wednesday-speedy-chicken.html

I'll let you in on a little secret, my WCW recipes are almost never made on a Wednesday. So feel free to cook and photograph whenever you have time and join us posting on Wednesday
