Good Morning Monday {morning biscuits & jam}
Happy Monday! I hope every ones weekend was enjoyable! Mine was pretty good. I managed to pick up a few goodies from the local thrift store. YAY! I found some great floral fabric that will make perfect squares for a cozy quilt, an old traveling case(which I plan to refurbish), and some vintage album covers(I have no idea what I am going to do with them, but I knew I needed to have them around so when the idea comes, I can just go at it!). Nevertheless, that’s pretty much all that happened in our part of the world.
So it’s a new week, and I hope yours is filled with clarity, inspiration, creative energy, and rest; & hopefully you will get a long waiting project done before the weekend! I know that I have plenty to get done. So here is this Mondays “Good Morning Monday’ recipe. It is some very scrumptious biscuits that are perfect for breakfast! I like to eat mine with blackberry or apricot jam…YUM! OK. off to a great week of posts!
Morning Biscuits
Ingredients:
2 to 2 1/4 C. all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
2 1/4 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1 C. Spinach, fresh & chopped
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. ground pepper
6 tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 C. buttermilk
3/4 C. shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, spinach, sugar, & remaining seasoning. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, with some pea-size lumps. Mix in buttermilk and cheese until combined. With a floured hand, knead dough against side of bowl until it holds together. If it is sticky, knead in up to 1/4 cup more flour.
2.After kneading biscuit dough, turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Pat the dough to 1 inch thick. With a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out rounds as close together as possible. Place on a baking sheet. Gather scraps; pat again, and cut out more rounds.
3.Brush the tops with 1/2 tablespoon melted unsalted butter. Bake until biscuits are golden brown. Serve warm with your favorite jam or preserve with a side of tea! Enjoy!

Oooh cheese biscuits! I made sweet potato biscuits this morning myself. There is no better breakfast than fresh biscuits and jam. I’m going to have to try this version later this week. Yum!
