Accidental Success Biscuits

Text: CC Bakes


The other day I opened my bare cupboards with a hankering for something sweet. I had an hour to kill. I thought I might bake. With a kitchen aid now in my grips I can basically make anything. Cakes sure, pizza dough of course, but basically anything where you need to beat things together in a way only something mechanic can do in under five minutes. And this is about all the time I could spare that day for mixing. So, taking note from fellow local food bloggers, Trotsky and Ash, I made some biscuits. I found their blog last week, and though I like it for it’s simple and clean design aesthetic, their blog is sweet and there are some really nice home cooking recipes on it, with short scene setting stories to boot.

So I adapted their brown sugar biscuits as I had no butter. Some of you may gasp here, for “how is one to cook a delicious biscuit without butter?”, olive oil I tell you dear reader. Now, I have never done this before, and it was certainly a bit of an experiment, and I was hoping that my hour spent baking was not going to go to waste in an oily mess down the sink. And it didn’t. You can taste the olive oil, and maybe they are a little more greasy, but it’s a nice change. I also added muesli and cranberries, but no pecans. So actually they look more like the above.

Another delicious taste of what comes every Tuesday from CC Bakes.
