\"Flavours<\/a><\/p>\n

“<\/i>OMG! These things are dynamite. Made them. Loved them. Me and kids ate them all.<\/i><\/a>” ~ <\/i>Three D Photos<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks to all of you who voted for me to win the PEI Recipe Challenge, I won second place and a copy of the cookbooks Flavours of Prince Edward Island: A Culinary Journey<\/a> and The Best of Chef at Home<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Last week during a brutal snowstorm I got out both books in search of ultimate comfort foods. I made Michael Smith’s Beef Stew<\/a> and really wanted some biscuits to go with them. I found this recipe for buttermilk biscuits in Flavours of PEI<\/a> and got working before we potentially lost power!<\/p>\n

\"Flavours<\/a>
\nPlease note, I only made half the recipe, I do not need 18 large biscuits at my house! <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

You begin with sieving 3 cups of flour with 1 1\/2 tbsp of baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp of salt. I added some freshly ground black pepper and added 3\/4 cup of cubed cold unsalted butter. I crumbled the butter into the dry ingredients with my hands until the butter was in little pieces, the size of peas.<\/p>\n

\"Flavours<\/a><\/p>\n

I did not have buttermilk so I made my own. I added lemon juice to skim milk until I had 3\/4 of a cup. I let it sit for a while to sour the milk. I created a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and added the faux buttermilk. Then I gently stirred to combine everything together.<\/p>\n

\"Flavours<\/a><\/p>\n

I chopped up some flat leaf Italian parsley for colour and additional flavour. It is so dry here right now that I needed to add additional milk to bring the dough together into a ball.<\/p>\n

\"Flavours<\/a><\/p>\n

On a floured surface, I flatten the dough with my hands until it was 1\/2″ thick. The recipe says to cut the dough into 2″ rounds which seemed kind of big to me. I opted to use a juice glass which is only 1 1\/2″ wide instead.<\/p>\n

\"Flavours<\/a><\/p>\n

I put the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet and popped them into a preheated 425F oven. Because mine were smaller, I baked them for only 12 minutes (the recipes says 15 minutes) until they were just a touch golden:<\/p>\n

\"Flavours<\/a><\/p>\n

I love biscuits! They are so easy to make, no special equipment required and these were super tasty. They went perfectly with the stew, very flakey and fabulous. I give them four and a half out of five wooden spoons.<\/b><\/p>\n

The second we sat down to eat dinner, we lost power. Thankfully the lights came on a few minutes later but what a comfort it was to sit down to eat a hot meal, even if it might be in the dark. I may abhor winter but rustic food fills me with joy.<\/p>\n
