Sometimes I just feel the need to bake. Can’t help it. It just needs to happen.
Obviously, I also had to break in my new (to me) oven! My oven in my previous apartment was the size of an easy bake oven (okay so maybe I’m exaggerating). This one is even smaller, and it only has ONE RACK!
For my first creation in my new mansion…
Olive Oil Biscuits
adapted from Care 2 Make a Difference
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup buttermilk (or 2 tsp of white vinegar + enough milk to make 3/4 cup)
Preheat oven to 500F. Combine all the ingredients. Turn dough onto a floured surface. Roll to 1/2 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter (or a cup like I did) but into 6 circles (or whatever shape you choose).
Bake 7-10 minutes or until golden brown.
Not gonna lie. I ate 3 for lunch. Not one of my finer moments but definitely healthier than eating 3 KFC biscuits, right?
I guess that should also tell you how tasty they are 🙂
Tomorrow, I’m going to Empire Farm Days for my internship. Should be fun! I hope I get to pet a goat or something. Have a great night!
these look great! and healthy! and i just happen to have buttermilk in the house. will be making these for sure!
these look amazing!! and definitely a good way to test drive the oven 😉
Ooh, can’t wait to read about your internship!!
Those look Tasty!
These look delicious! I am sure I could take down all 6!
Karla–these look fantastic! I love the way you think 🙂
Those look perfect! Wow!
These baked up beautifully, but too salty for us. Next time I would cut the salt in half. I do like making biscuits with olive oil instead of shortening.
Oh no! Sorry to hear they were too salty! I edited the recipe to say “to taste.” Everyone’s palate is different 🙂
