Before I talk about what I planned to share I woud like to ask a few questions of fellow Blogspot users. Is anyone else having trouble adding labels to their posts? I keep getting an error message and indeed, it isn't saving my labels. There are a few other features (such as centering the verbiage) that seems ot have disappeared as an option. Ugh...why did they change everything?!
On to the biscuits now.
I would like to thank Beth Fish Reads for introducing me to cookbooks by Lee Bailey. Some of his books are filled with gorgeous color photos and would be at home as an interesting coffee table book. This particular cookbook, The Way I Cook is my favorite so far.
My first recipe is the amazingly easy Cottage Cheese Biscuits. In under 40 minutes they were assembled and baked. Half were eaten immediately. You can bet I will be making these again as soon as I have more cottage cheese in the house.
They look like cookies and reminded me in appearance of a sweet coconut cookie.
Light and moist, a breeze to make and only five ingredients. Make these, trust me, you will love them. The only problem I see now is they could become an addiction. Too easy to pop a few in your mouth and next thing you know, you've demolished the batch.
Cottage Cheese Biscuits
2 cups AP flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking poweder
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups small curd cottage cheese
Preheat oven to 450 F. Sift flour, salt and baking powder into a large bowl. Cut butter in with a pastry blender or two knives until it is the size of small peas. Stir in cottage cheese all at once.
Drop by generous tablespoons onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
Note: I did not have a pastry blender and used a knife to cut the butter. It worked but I am off to purchase this inexpensive pastry cutter within the next few days. It would be so much easier to get the butter in smaller pieces before my hot hands melt the butter.
Oh, yum! Those sound super quick & easy, so I may have to give them a try. My husband would love them!
ReplyDeleteLes, you won't regret it. This is an awesome cookbook.
DeleteVicki, let me know how you like them. I can't wait to make more.
ReplyDeleteThese looks so good... and I need to check out that cookbook, too!
ReplyDeleteJoAnn, it's a cookbook with loads of wonderful recipes. I recommend it.
DeleteThese look really good! I love my pastry blender. I'm completely incapable of cutting in butter with just knives or forks or what not. And now I want coconut cookies as well.
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh about coconut cookies! Yeah, I need that pastry cutter, I made a mess using knives. These were completely worth it though.
DeleteMy blogger problems mostly have to do with importing photos. In the new version of the software on the iPad, the pick for photos simply does nothing at all. In the old version on the desktop/laptop, sometimes the photo upload window never finishes loading. However, my labels seem to be doing fine.
ReplyDeleteThose look good. I just made peanut butter cookies: much more indulgent!
be well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Mae, now I want peanut butter cookies. I'm hoping my Blogspot learning curve doesn't drive me mad.
DeleteThese sound delicious and EASY! I wasn't familiar with Lee Bailey so I Googled and educated myself.
ReplyDeleteStacy, I'm making one or his salads tonight so stayed tuned! Simple recipes.
DeleteI always love new biscuit recipes. This one looks quite simple.
ReplyDeleteIt's super easy, Deb. We ate them all in record time :-)
DeleteI love, love, love those biscuits! They are in his Soup Meals cookbook too.
ReplyDeleteI found many great recipes in his cookbooks. Never heard of him before you posted about the cookbooks from your mother's home!
