TWD/BWD: Tender Biscuits

 

 


For the second Baking with Dorie January challenge, I made the Tender Biscuits.  They're made with yogurt and either milk or buttermilk, and you can leave them plain or add in fresh herbs.  I chose to leave them plain since I enjoy them with butter and bit of jam.

I had made these a year or so ago, and noted on the recipe that they were a bit too dry and to add extra milk.  So, I did that this time and they came out much better.

Instead of round biscuits, and the subsequent re-rolling, I cut out 8 biscuits from the dough.  Sometimes I make squares or rectangles; this time I did triangles.  Also, I only baked two, and put the remaining biscuits in the freezer.  It's a pleasure to cook one fresh when you desire a snack.

TWD/BWD: Coffee Shortbread

 


For our first challenge of the year, I made the Coffee Shortbread.  I love any kind of shortbread cookie, and these are just delicious.  The coffee flavor is enhanced with hints of lemon and cardamom.  I skipped the optional icing, and just dusted them with powdered sugar and coffee.

After all the holiday baking, it was nice to make a simple recipe. I know I will bake these cookies on a regular basis.
