Gluten Free Garlic Cheddar Parmesan Biscuits

1/21/2019

Easy Gluten Free Biscuits

2 Cups plain yogurt (I tend to use slightly less for our GF flour – about 1/3 Cup less)
1 Egg, beaten
2 Cups GF Flour
2-3 tsp baking powder
3/4 Cup shredded cheddar (We love sharp – stronger flavor to match the garlic)
½ Cup Parmesan cheese
Fresh Garlic, crushed (Can use powder, but not as tasty)
(To make them exactly like that restaurant, add a pinch or two of Old Bay Seasoning)
 
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl (I like to mix the cheddar closer to the end of mixing so it doesn't break up as much). Scoop by spoonfuls onto greased baking sheet (makes 8-12 biscuits, depending on size). Bake at 350 degrees for 8-12 minutes (Mine took longer – they were still gooey in the middle. IDK if it was our elevation or that I used kefir! <3)
 
If you would like, you can brush them with melted butter, or even garlic-butter, when fresh from the oven. I find this makes them crumble more, though. So I just let people dress them at the table. GREAT with soups, salads, gravy, any way you like to eat biscuits. Oh, and yes, even for breakfast with sausage gravy (TURKEY sausage! LOL).
 
Notes:

This is a modification of a basic recipe I have been using for some time. The Basic recipe is just the yogurt, egg, flour and baking powder. It was an easy recipe I found somewhere and can be adapted to make rosemary garlic, Italian spiced, or even Cajun biscuits to go with Southern fried chicken; AND it’s quick.  Use your imagination to create flavors your family will enjoy!
 
Up here on the ridge, I have had to learn to bake differently than in the flat-lands of New Jersey. So I tend to add the baking powder at the very last minute. Which I don’t like!!! I prefer to mix it with the dry ingredients ensuring it is mixed through. Yet if I mix it in early, it tends to go flat – even freshly opened baking powder. I put this in because it might help those of you who are above 3000 feet if you have issues with the recipe.
 
I prefer kefir over yogurt because it has more health benefits. It is also a lot softer, sometimes even runny. So, I find I have to cut back dramatically on this measurement if using it. You may need to adjust a bit, too. I ran out of kefir this week because we were frozen in. So, in a pinch, I used 1/3 block of cream cheese softened, then blended with a little water to make a yogurt consistency. It made them REALLY rich and delicious!!! Oh, I also left out the parmesan because we were out of it, too!
 
These biscuits are wonderful made with a combination of sour cream and yogurt (again, I would use Kefir!), and then mix in some freshly chopped chives and a sprinkle of onion powder. For this, split the yogurt required into 1 Cup Yogurt, 1 Cup sour cream. OH! And cheddar or parmesan also go well with the chives!
 
I find that once I figure out exactly the mixture for our elevation, I can just toss the basic ingredients in a bowl and have fun with them!!! I was thinking, maybe next week, trying something a little different – making them with raspberry jelly filling for breakfast.  For this, I will mix the basic recipe, maybe adding a pinch of sweetness with organic sugar or a touch of honey. Then plop half the normal amount onto the baking pan, make a small indent, fill with some jelly, then top with another plop of dough. Bake as usual. Will let you know how that turns out! 
 
For Gluten Free Flours - I prefer Bob’s Red Mill or King Arthur, but this works with any Cup for Cup GF Flour. These two tend to be most cost effective for me and not as agitating. I am one who is bothered by Xanthan gum and other gums, so when I can, I actually prefer to mix up my own GF flours.

If you try the recipe, make sure to let us know how it turned out! Would love some feedback on our recipes. 

​Shalom!
 
 
 

Easy Homemade Dressings and Dips

1/20/2019

 
PictureYummy Shabbat Salads to go with our homemade dressing!
​​We don't buy many pre-mixed foods from the store anymore because of the hidden ingredients. This includes dressings and dips. Pretty much the only dips we purchase are different types of hummus if it’s on sale, or we don’t have time to make it ourselves. Homemade IS much healthier all the way around – plus, it costs less and you can control what goes into meals. For those who are used to the higher salt content and flavor enhancers of pre-made dips and sauces, it might take some getting used to. Yet in the long run it will be better for the entire family.
 
I wanted to share our favorite recipes to go along with all the wonderful unleavened bread recipes we have on this page. With the Passover holiday approaching, it is a good time to learn to make these recipes and find out if you need to tweak them for your environment. That way, when the Spring Feasts are upon us, you will be ready to go and have a great variety to entertain with.
 
I hope you enjoy these recipes! Drop a comment or message us with any questions!

Shalom!

​Dairy Free Dressings or Dips
 
Bacon Horse Radish Dip
 
2 Cups Mayo
3-4 slices turkey bacon cooked crisp and crumpled
1 Tbsp Prepared horseradish
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce (Soy Sauce also works)
½ tsp hot pepper sauce
Garlic powder to taste
 
Mix well and refrigerate several hours.
For Dressing: add liquid of choice – soy milk, almond milk, water.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Easy Sweet and Sour Dressing or Sauce
 
1 Cup Ketchup
½ Cup water
¼ Cup vinegar
1-6 oz jar of all-fruit apricot jelly
1/8 tsp ground ginger
Dash of Soy Sauce
 
(If sweeter is desired, add 1/3 cup brown sugar).
Heat all ingredients in a small saucepan, bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Allow to cool for salad dressing. May also be used as a sauce on baked or grilled chicken.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Judi’s Veggie Dip
 
1 Cup Mayo
1 Cup Sour Cream (Plain non-dairy yogurt for a non-dairy version! Remember that coconut yogurt MAY impart flavor that will distinctly change the flavor of the dressing)
1 ½ tsp dill weed
1 ½ tsp Seasoned Salt
1 Tbsp Dried onion flakes
1 Tbsp Dried Parsley
Garlic and onion Powders
Dash of Black pepper
 
Mix well and allow to sit for at least 4 hours. To make a dressing consistency, add ¼ to ½ Cup water and mix well. NOTE: For dressing, I mix in about 1/3 Cup water at this elevation and use my hand blender. It does also puree the onion flakes, but it ensures that the water is less likely to separate from the oily mayonnaise.
Spicy Cajun Dip
 
¼ tsp Garlic Powder
1 Cup Mayo
2 Tbsp dried minced onion
1 tsp Paprika
½ tsp Cayenne pepper
½ tsp Black Pepper
 
(For salad dressing, add ¼ to ½ Cup water)
