Cheddar Biscuits

It's almost that time here for comfort food, stews and baked goods.  I love this time of year. Everything about it.  The colors, the pumpkins, the harvest, the weather...  And, yes, admittedly I love pumpkin and am one of those people on Pinterest that can't get enough of pumpkin. My board is called Pumpkin Palooza. 

These biscuits are very soft and tender.  Melt in your mouth goodness.  One of the things that makes these biscuits is amazing is the cheddar cheese.  Pick the best cheddar you can get.  The sharper, the better.


Cheddar Biscuits

2 cups flour
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup butter
1 egg
2 tablespoons melted butter

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F . Grease a baking sheet.

Combine flour, Cheddar cheese, baking powder, salt, onion powder and garlic powder in a bowl.
In another bowl combine milk, 1/3 cup butter, and egg in a separate bowl. Mix into the flour mixture until chunky; don't over mix. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Brush melted butter on top and continue baking until golden brown, about 5 minutes more.

Flat Bread Pizzas

Super quick and super delicious.  Having your flatbreads all cooked up on the weekend means a quick meal on a week night. It can all be done at once if  you so choose.  Either way, they are delicious with whatever toppings  yo choose.  Here I did a basil pesto with mozzarella and a peach, prosciutto and mozarella.  Sprinkle it with some fresh arugula when it exits the oven.

Flatbread

4 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
7 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups milk

In a microwave safe dish or a pot on the stove, heat the butter with the milk.  You wanted it to bubble a little, not boil. Let cool so that you can stick your finger in it comfortably.  Pour into flour and salt.  Mix until it comes together.  Turn out on a floured surface and knead.  Set aside to rest for at least 30 minutes.  Prep you pizza toppings whatever they may be.

Divide dough into approximately 18 balls for smaller type flatbreads, less if you want them larger.  Roll out to circles.  Make sure you cover the dough as you are rolling out your discs.  It will dry quickly.

Place on heated skillet and cook until the dough is not shiny anymore.  Flip and heat a few mroe minutes. Stack on a dish.
