It's Tuesday and I really owe Melissa for picking such a simple, delicious recipe for this week's Dorie Treat. I'll admit I'm not really a biscuit master. I'm sure these could have been taller, had I followed directions better, remembered all of Alton Brown's advice from his Biscuit episode, or maybe just been born in the South or something! Even so they were yummy. I could also mix them up in about two minutes using only my left hand, which is saying something (since I can hardly brush my teeth or pick up Baby Strawberry with that hand, really!)
The neat thing about these biscuits is that they don't require any fat besides (a little, ahem) heavy cream. Today, like many days, I had half a carton in my fridge from some ganache or something I made earlier. I whipped up a half batch of these biscuits, finished off the cream before it went bad, and really, really enjoyed the spicy sausage gravy my mom made to put on top. Because although this recipe is simple enough for an uncoordinated girl with a hand cast to make, I really can't be trusted with gravy or anything that requires cutting at this point. Hopefully next week. My hand is getting better each day and with any luck Baby Strawberry won't learn to crawl before I'm back to baking- because then I'm really in trouble!
See the other delicious biscuits here. It'll make you hungry, promise.
i loved how easy these were too. I keep hearing about this biscuit episode of alton's. i need to see it.
ReplyDeletehope your hand comes to full recovery soon! :)
Obviously, you can take nice pictures with one hand too. I'm pretty sure my guys would have loved these with some of your mom's gravy.

These were very easy weren't they?
ReplyDeleteI'm sad to tell you, living in the south doesn't yield any better biscuits haha! I can attest to that!
But yours do look great!
Biscuits and gravy oh dreamy.
ReplyDeleteI was fortunate enough to break my left hand when I broke it. My right is dominant.
Great looking biscuits!! Hope the hand continues to heal. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are back to yourself and full use of your hands soon. In the meantime, you did a fab job on these biscuits!
ReplyDeleteI loved how easy these were! Yours look great.
ReplyDeletehope your hand feels better soon! These look like they turned out perfectly for a one handed baker! :)
ReplyDeleteOmg cast? I missed the story on that one! Poor thing. I've never broken a bone before *knock on wood* so I don't know what it's like to wear a cast. I can't imagine doing baking with my left hand. My left hand is useless. Props to you! and your lovely biscuits too :)

Wow--you are very accomplished with one hand, baking and photography-wise! I've never tried sausage gravy--will look for it on my next trip to the USA. Is it a regional thing or all over?
ReplyDeleteYour biscuits look so tempting! I am wanting one now with some butter and honey!
ReplyDeleteThese are the perfect thing to make one-handed. Hope you heal soon.
ReplyDeleteLove your photo with the red plate!
ReplyDeleteGlad this was such a simple one for you. Hope you continue to heal quickly!
I hope your hand gets better soon, that must be so frustrating, espec with a baby!! I the meantime, you made soe lovely biscuits, and with your non dominant hand...impressive!! They look great!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your hand. Your biscuits came out wonderfully. I didn't try mine with a savory topping, but I can only imagine that they taste amazing!
