Everything Bagel Drop Biscuits

-

 I love these biscuits! They remind me of bagels but you can make them yourself without too much work and with great results. I served mine topped with Tomato Gravy for a delicious breakfast.

Ingredients

For the everything bagel mix
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 1 tbsp dried minced onion
  • 2 tsp dried minced garlic
  • 1 tsp coarse salt
For the biscuits
  • 2½ cups (325 g) all purpose flour
  • 2½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp coarse salt
  • 4 tbsp (55 g) cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, cold, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 cup (235 mL) buttermilk

Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. To make the everything bagel seed mix, mix together all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.  You won't need all of the mix but its good on other things as well.
  3. To make the biscuits, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and 1 tsp salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and cream cheese to the dry ingredients. Cut the butter and cream cheese into the dry ingredients with either your fingers or a pastry blender. Add in the buttermilk and stir until just combined.
  4. Form the dough into 12 sort of equal balls and then roll them in the seed mixture. Toss in the bowl to ensure each round gets covered with the seeds. Move to the prepared baking sheet making sure the biscuits aren't touching. 
  5. Bake until golden, about 12 minutes.

Fresh Amaranth (Red Spinach)

Image
Amaranth Leaves are very similar to spinach in flavor and use. They're beautiful to look at. Its tempting to just keep the bunch as a decorative bouquet. This time I decided to use mine in Chinese Spinach Curry. This is not a perfected recipe, but I would make it again so I thought it was worth posting. Thotakura Palakura Tomato Kura 1 tablespoon peanut oil or other mild oil ¼ teaspoon each--cumin, mustard seeds and curry leaves (I think the quantity of these spices should be doubled) 1 big onion - finely sliced, about one cup 2 tomatoes - finely chopped, about one cup 5 green chillies--finely chopped (I used 1 Serrano, which I seeded--5 seemed excessive for our tastes but it needed either more than 1 pepper or to leave in some of the seeds. In other words it lacked heat) 1 teaspoon - ginger garlic paste ½ tsp each- turmeric and salt 1 bunch fresh amaranth (leaves and tender stems) - finely chopped, about 5 cups 1 bunch fresh spinach - finely chopped, about 5 cups 1 can of chick...

Roasted Beets & Carrots with Couscous and Citrus Dressing

-
This dish can be served warm or cold, leftover the next day.  Delicious both ways.  It is a bit labor-intensive but very tasty and a good way to use some of those winter vegetables. 1# beets, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks 1/2# carrots, cut into thick coins 1/2# onions red or yellow onions or shallot, cut into chunks (a little less is fine) 1/2 cup Citrus Vinaigrette 1 cup Israeli couscous 1 garlic clove, peeled and chopped 1 large sprig of thyme, if fresh is not available sprinkle in some dry 1/4-1/2 tsp. dried chile flakes 1/2 cup salted roasted sunflower seeds (raw seeds are also OK) 1 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese Heat oven to 450℉.

Celery Root, Cracked Wheat, and Every-Fall-Vegetable-You-Can-Find-Chowder

-
This soup turned out to be tastier than I expected which is why I'm including it in my blog so that I don't forget about making it again. I think it is due to the celery root puree. This makes it necessary to add another step to preparing the soup but it is definitely worthwhile.  You could substitute another grain for the cracked wheat, such as farro.  However, I happened to have cracked wheat available and it cooks quickly. 1 celeriac (celery root 3/4 - 1#) 1/2# onions, sliced (yellow or red) 3 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced or chopped 3 tablespoons unsalted butter Kosher (or sea salt) and cracked black pepper 2 tablespoons olive or sunflower oil 1 cup cracked wheat Several sprigs fresh thyme if available, otherwise use dried thyme 1 stalk celery, diced -- note, I used my vegetable chopper to chop all the root vegetables so they were about a 1/2 inch dice 1 carrot, diced 1 turnip, diced (I didn't have a turnip so I used a daikon radish) 1 medium potato, unp...
