Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits

 

This month's Taste of Home Bakeable Challenge was Fran T's Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits.  We are huge biscuit fans but I rarely make them from scratch.  Once I saw how easy this recipe was I decided to give it a try. I used my Kitchen Aid mixer to bring the ingredients together.


I cut up the butter and returned it to the fridge. I added the flour to the mixing bowl, measured the buttermilk and prepped my pan. I then grabbed the butter and on low added it slowly until it resembled coarse crumbs. Next I added the buttermilk and mixed it on low for about a minute. 


I turned it out onto the floured counter, patted it into the 3/4" thick oval.  I have a set of double sized cutters that I absolutely love.  You want to use a cutter with a straight edge and be sure to just push down and come back up, don't twist.  Twisting will keep the biscuits from rising like they should. 

These were fantastic with some blueberry jam and they went great alongside the Lemon Chicken Rice Soup that we had for lunch.  You can find the monthly challenges here: https://www.tasteofhome.com/article/bakeable-challenge/ Be sure to stop by the Facebook group and share your bakes and use the hashtag #Bakeable on Instagram!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper. Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed.   They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract.  This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SummerDessertWeek !  I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of my recipes. All opinions are my own. I also added some red food coloring to give it a pink hue, but you can skip that if you like.  I use a cookie scoop to portion out the batter, it keeps all the pizzelles the same size, plus it's quicker than using two spoons.   They're delicious as is but you can take them over the top by fashioning them into a cylinder which we like to call fauxnoli.  You can pipe them full of whipped cream or buttercream.  If you want to prepare everything in advance, store the pizzelle in an airtight container, and the filling in a pastry or zip top bag in the f
