A Recipe for Everything But Rain and Rainbows: Side Dish Day

Oct 08, 2010 10:25

On October 9th, Mountain Magic: Spellbinding Tales of Appalachia will be released from Woodland Press. My story, "A Recipe for Rain and Rainbows," is all about the magic of pie baking.

To countdown to publication day, I'm holding a special blog promotion in the form of a recipe exchange. For five days, I will post a different theme along with one of my all-time favorite recipes. In the comments, you can post one of your favorite recipes for that theme, as well as your website and/or blog link. In return, I ask for you to link back to my LiveJournal from your own blog/Facebook/Twitter/etc. We promote and fatten each other up all at the same time!

Here's the breakdown:
October 5: Cookies
October 6: Main dishes
October 7: Yeast and Quick Breads
October 8: Side dishes
October 9: Pies

Today's theme: Side Dish




Red Lobster Copycat Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Yes, this would have qualified for yesterday's theme, too. I like my bread.

I found this recipe on a blog several years ago, and the source has since vanished. Note that you can substitute milk for the white wine. If you like going to Red Lobster just for the biscuits, then this is the recipe for you. (If you aren't in the United States, you can look online to find recipes for making your own Bisquick.)

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups Bisquick Baking Mix
1 cup finely grated cheddar cheese
¾ cup white wine (add smidgen more if it's too dry to mix thoroughly) (or milk)

Garlic butter mix:
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 dash salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Combine garlic butter ingredients. Set aside.

3. Combine biscuit ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix until well combined.

4. Drop approximately 1/4-cup portions of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

5. Brush garlic butter on top before baking.

6. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown.

7. Brush remaining garlic butter on top before serving.
