Biscuit Love

Friends! 

Happy Sunday!  It's been a hot minute since we last checked in and we hope this post finds you doing well.  Spring is here and so are biscuits.  We're talking --hot, out-of-the-oven, flaky, moist drop-biscuits.  

Anyone remember this -- Betty Crocker Bisquick mix?

Growing up, this was our go-to pancake mix and it was always stocked in the pantry.  Pancakes, biscuits, coffee cake -- Biquick had you covered.  My brother and I would go crazy for the drop biscuits.  The mounds of batter piled high and baked until toasty brown and tender instead.  

  

I love, love, LOVE biscuits.  But, mastering the biscuit can be a tricky endeavor.  Don't overmix; use super cold butter.  I'm getting stressed just thinking about it.   Then along came the Heavy Cream Drop Biscuit recipe.  These are Bisquick-style biscuits without the add fluff (mystery ingredients on the back of the box).

Simple, easy -- yet always delicious, light and flaky biscuits.  Now that's what I'm talking about.

Flash freeze these biscuits for 30 minutes, then repackage and store for a later point

The ingredients are simple: flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and heavy cream.  What's even better, you can flash freeze theses babies and bake at a later point.  

I don't even bother rolling the dough out and cutting it properly -- just spoon it up and drop it down.  

The results -- a light, tender mound of deliciousness, with or without jelly.

Go for it.  You deserve it!

In other news, there's a new dress style in our shop -- the ultimate twirly dress!  And, I seriously can't get enough of it; neither can my little mini-me.  

There are 4 variations -- yes, FOUR!!  And, we're having a tough time deciding which is our favorite.  Here they are, in no particular order.

On this beautiful Sunday, I am reminded of the words from Cleo Wade's new book, Heart Talk: Poetic Wisdom for a Better Life:

Get Honest With Yourself.   

Be the Person You

Are the Clearest With.

Be the Person You Are

The Most Fearless With.

These Are the Seeds 

That Turn Your Life

Into a Garden of 

Authenticity.  

Peace.


Recipe for Mom's Heavy Cream Drop Biscuits

Ingredients
2 1/2 c. flour (all-purpose)
1 Tblsp baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 Tblsp sugar
2 c. heavy cream


Directions
Heat oven to 400 degrees F.  Combine all ingredients and gently mix until well-incorporated.  Spoon out heaping of batter into mounds and bake for approximately 18-20 minutes until golden brown.

Notes: start checking at 15 minutes to make sure they don't burn! My oven bakes quicker than most.  My biscuits were done in 16 minutes!
