Cheddar and Parsley Biscuits

There is one chain of restaurant here called Red Lobster. The food there is just ok but I do love their Cheddar biscuits. They will serve a few of it on the table in place of bread basket. These are no ordinary biscuits. They are loaded with cheddar cheese and garlic and with some herbs in it too. I can polish them up in no time. I tried goggling for the recipes and most of the recipes use packaged baking mix which I wanted to avoid. So I end up creating a simple recipe which turns out pretty good. They were light, fluffy and full of cheese flavor. With the leftovers, I just reheating them up and make sandwiches out of it.

Cranberry Almond Scones with Orange Glaze

I did this over the weekend for our breakfast. It is a no fuss recipe and I always used this basic recipe with a few add-ins; like fresh fruits, dried fruits, chocolate chips and nuts. We happen to like dried cranberries a lot so I added it in this time. Instead on putting nuts in the scones I just sprinkle them on top. These scones are crispy on the outside, tender and moist on the inside. They were really good on its own but even better when you spread on some clotted cream or butter.

Tangerine Scones

How time fly and tomorrow will be the last day of Chinese New Year. It is also known as Chap Goh Meh (15th day of CNY) in Hokkien dialect. I didn’t do anything this CNY but I am planning to make some pineapple tarts and maybe another type of cookie as Diana will be flying in for a visit so I can give her some to take back to NY. Is already a week since we move into our new home and I am starting to venture out on my own. There is a supermarket near our house that sells really cheap produce. All the vegetables and fruits are so much cheaper than other supermarkets. I bought a whole bunch of Tangerine for only $0.58 a pound. They were super sweet and delicious. I decided to use it to make some scones for our breakfast. Actually this is my very first bake from our new home. I still have to get to know my oven as it work a bit different from the one at PA. These scones were so light and fragrant that Carlos had 2 right after it came out of the oven and don't they look great to serve them on Valentine's Day?

Flaky Buttermilk, Parsley and Bacon Biscuits

I made these a while ago and am only just getting around posting it here. I made these flaky biscuits to go with the Corn and Potato Chowder . They are decadent, flaky and pretty to look at too especially with the green parsley and bacon flecks in it. There’s really nothing hard about making biscuits. The secret to making great and flaky biscuits is not to overwork the dough.
