it is secret recipe club time again! this time i got assigned kim’s blog: liv life too! kim is a mother of two in california. her love of cooking started years ago when her husband bought her a cookbook as a present and it has not stopped since. her blog is full of recipes and tales of her travels. cute pictures of her kids and two seriously adorable maltese puppy abound. i am so glad she was my assigned blog for this installment of the SRC. 

this is my favorite thing about SRC, the fact that we are introduced to other bloggers out there who we may never had found out about otherwise. 

i have to be honest, had a hard time choosing just one of kim’s recipes to replicate in my kitchen. she has some pretty radical looking recipes that i will be sure to try for us here in new york. i went with the cheddar & scallions biscuits because i was still on a baking spree. besides, i had never made biscuits before and decided it was about time i tried. 

here are kim’s cheddar & scallions biscuits!!

INGREDIENTS:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
6 tbs (3/4 stick) cold, unsalted butter - cut into cubes
3 oz (3/4 cups) cheddar cheese
4 scallions, finely chopped
1 cup well shaken buttermilk
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

INSTRUCTIONS:
whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  

add in the butter, blending it in with your hands. 

this is what the flour looked like after the butter was mixed in. 

mix in the cheese and scallions. 

make sure everything is blended equally. 

add in the buttermilk and mix until well combined. 

this is what the dough looked like right after i mixed in the buttermilk. this making biscuits business is really simple so far. 

place equal mounds of dough onto a well greased baking sheet. 

bake the biscuits in a pre-heated over at 450º F for 17-20 minutes. the biscuits should be golden brown. 

these are a great alternative to dinner rolls and the addition of cheese and scallions only makes them better. 

as you saw from these pictures, these are really easy to make.  they can easily be whipped out for dinner in no time. they took me about 35 minutes from start to finish, even with taking time to take pictures.
