Mom always made heart-shaped biscuits for Valentine's Day, says Tina Christensen of Addison, Illinois. When I realized how easy they were, I continued the tradition! They're great anytime of year served warm with a honey or cinnamon spread. Ingredients:
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup cold butter |
3/4 cup milk |
honey spread: |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/4 cup honey |
cinnamon spread: |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
3/4 cup sugar |
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine dry ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With a fork, stir in milk until the mixture forms a ball.
2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead five to six times. Roll to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a 2-in. heart-shaped cookie or biscuit cutter. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
3. For honey spread, combine butter and honey in a bowl; beat until smooth. For cinnamon spread, combine butter, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl; beat until smooth. Serve with the warm biscuits. Yield: about 1 dozen.
