Buttermilk-Black Garlic Biscuits

Ingredients

  • 2 C flour
  • 2-1/2 t baking powder
  • 1/2 t black salt
  • 5 T butter, chilled and cubed
  • 3 cloves black garlic (click for an intro to black garlic)
  • 1/2 T granulated garlic
  • 3/4 C cold buttermilk
  • 1 T raw honey


Procedure
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and black salt. Add the butter cubes, black garlic, and granulated garlic. Use your fingertips to press the butter into the butter, forming flat leaves. Place the bowl in the fridge to chill for 10 minutes.

While the butter-flour mixture chills, whisk together the buttermilk and honey. After 10 minutes, pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour and stir lightly until it comes together into a ball.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured piece of parchment paper. Knead gently just a few times to bring it together. The dough may still be a little crumbly. Roll the dough into a 5" x 9" rectangle about 1/2" thick. Using the long side of the rectangle, fold the dough into thirds like a business letter. Once again, roll the dough into a 5" x 9" rectangle about 1/2" thick and, again, fold it into thirds like a letter. Roll the dough out to 1/2" to 3/4" thick. Using a metal edged shape - I use a measuring cup - cut biscuits from the dough and transfer to a baking stone, leaving about 1" between them. I gathered the scraps, rerolled, and cut more biscuits until I was completely out of dough.

Bake until the biscuits have risen and are golden brown on top, approximately 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the baking sheet and transfer the biscuits to a wire rack. Allow to cool for a few minutes and serve warm.

  2. I've not used black garlic either, but have been hearing the raving reviews of it. I would love to try it, especially in these beautiful biscuits when I find it.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce

Aloo Tiki {Pakistan}

To start off our Pakistani culinary adventure, I started us off with aloo tiki - potato cutlets. I'm always game for tasty street food. I found a couple of different recipes and incorporated those together for this version. Ingredients 6-8 small red potatoes, scrubbed 1 T cumin seeds 1 T fresh chopped parsley 1/2 t ground coriander 1 t minced garlic Procedure Boil the potatoes until they are tender. Drain and let cool. Mash the potatoes. Traditionally they are mashed without their skins. I left the skins on. In a small pan, toast the cumin seeds on high heat until the begin to give off an aroma and begin to darken. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate to keep them from cooking any more. Blend all of the spices into the mashed potatoes, then shape into small patties. If you wet your hands, the potato mixture won't stick to them. Heat a splash of oil in a large, flat-bottom pan. Dip each patty into beaten egg and carefully place in the oil. P

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an
