FOFF Best Ever Babbaganoush and Sour Cream Biscuits

Let’s blame Peggy. It was her idea to make BOTH recipes on page 5 of our new book ”Fusion of Food and Friends”, hence, F O F F But Peggy did us a favor because there recipes pair so well. The Babbaganoush, a Lebanese eggplant dip/spread, is commonly served with Pita bread. It turned out that it was an excellent dip to serve with the warm sour cream biscuits. PEGGYS PICS! The Babbaganoush on crusty bread. I can taste it now! Ahhh…. biscuits! So light and deLIGHTful. Great job Peggy! Want to join the fun, cook up some really good [...]

Not Your Traditional Tea Biscuit

When I was looking through one of my cook books, I came across a Tea Biscuit recipe. It reminded me of one I tried years ago which spurred an aggressive hunt through all my personally concocted recipes. I found it although there were no notes whether it was a success or failure.

Preheat the oven to 475 F. 2 1/4 cups Flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 1 tsp sugar 1/4 cup COLD butter 1 cup Sour cream 1 TBS molasses Mix together the flour, baking [...]
