Explore
a World of Biscuits!
One
of the joys of baking is the opportunity to experiment, to create your
own sensations, what seems good to you and will please your family.
We’ve probably all done that with muffins and scones, adding fruit
or nuts, or toppings to make them ours. What about biscuits? For some
reason, when we think of biscuits, we think of classic buttermilk biscuits,
tall and hot and slathered with butter and a little honey. There is
no reason that we can’t add to basic biscuits just like we do
to scones.

Biscuits are most
often rolled out and cut as scones are but usually in round or square
shapes. One of the attractions of biscuits is how quickly they can be
made. Drop biscuits, biscuits made with a soft batter and spooned onto
the baking sheet, save the steps of rolling and cutting. Drop biscuits
are “fast food” from scratch.
Below are three
recipes that are made with drop biscuits. The same variations can be
made with rolled and cut biscuits.
The first recipe
is for a basic drop biscuit recipe. The next recipe is a sweet biscuit
made with fruit and nuts. Use this as a template for your own creations.
Use your favorite fresh or dried fruits, spices, and flavors. Drizzle
the biscuits with a little glaze flavored with extract, cream cheese,
or syrup. You’ll transform everyday biscuits into something fit
for guests at the next brunch.
The last recipe is a savory recipe. Sharp cheddar and sautéed
red pepper bits are added. But onions, chilies, bacon bits, diced ham,
or anything else you desire could be added.
Have fun creating
your own world of biscuits.
