Foodz Revisited

So I have yet to make them, but I'm looking at making scones once again, last time I made Blueberry Scones, this time I'm looking at making White Chocolate and Orange Scones, I'm even looking at an Orange Icing to go on top of the scones. I'm also looking at a marshmallow fondant recipe to try out so I can see if it's worth doing in times where I would need fondant. I can't stand how fondant tastes in almost every case that I've tried it in so I'm hoping that this homemade version will taste better to me. Also, I want to make my lasagna again, I haven't cooked a lasagna in almost a year and I kinda want to try to alter my recipe some. I should write up my recipe since I use one I found as a base and then changed it to my liking. There may be something to this whole quitting school and opening a restaurant with Matt, The Kaptain Mandog. I swear, if it weren't for the exorbitant cost I would go to culinary arts school just to learn how to cook better.

Since I'm talking about recipes I guess I can give you my (well I found it online somewhere and changed the amount of butter and garlic salt [maybe orgeno and not garlic salt] because I didn't think it was the right amounts) recipe for a copy cat of Red Lobster's Cheesy Garlic Biscuits. Mind you, this is from memory since I left my copy at Stanley's house... so if it's incorrect I apologize.

4 cups biscuit mix
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/3 cups of milk
6 tablespoons butter (melted)
2 teaspoons dried or fresh oregano
3 teaspoons garlic salt (the last two amounts might not be correct, but it's close)

Preheat oven to 400° and prepare a (usually 2) cookie sheet(s)

Mix the biscuit mix, garlic powder and cheddar cheese in a large bowl, pour in mix and stir (I knead) until a biscuit consistency. Using a two spoon method (scoop with one spoon and then even it out with the other and scrape it onto the cookie sheet) set small lumps onto the prepared sheet, they will bake larger than they are prepared so make it smaller than you think they should be. Cook for 10 minutes.

While the biscuits are cooking melt the butter in the oven. Mix the oregano and garlic salt with the melted butter until homogeneous (evenly distributed).

Pull the biscuits out after the 10 minutes, brush with the garlic oregano butter and put them back into the oven for 5 minutes. Once they're finished cooking I like to give them a final brushing of the butter mixture. Enjoy, but try to let them cool a little first.

  1. Sounds delicious! I've made marshmallow fondant before and it's really REALLY sweet. I covered a WoW cake last Christmas and I think most of us ended up pealing the fondant off anyways. It's not that hard to make though and it's kinda fun to work with.
