How is it possible that we TWDers haven't tackled Basic Biscuits yet? Well, I have, several times, and they've always come out perfectly. Thanks to this recipe, I'm not afraid of biscuit-making. Even if I don't make them by touch alone, like my grandmother did. Measuring cups? Not for her. But for me, absolutely.
Jennifer of Cooking for Comfort picked these babies this week, and it was great to revisit my old biscuit friends. I used them in my favorite biscuit application: The Pioneer Woman's Chicken Pot Pie. Her recipe calls for pie crust, but I love to drop biscuits on top instead. You could also be fancy and roll them out and cut them into neat circles, but I prefer the rustic look, as usual. (The recipe can also be found in Ree Drummond's fabulous cookbook, The Pioneer Woman Cooks. Worth it for this recipe, and for the chicken spaghetti recipe, alone.)
In summary: go biscuits!
Next week: Hindy of Bubie’s Little Baker chose Ginger Jazzed Brownies
Last week: Apple Muffin Cake...Muffins
Grat looking biscuits! I love cpp and I think dropping biscuits on it is a wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use this week's recipe! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea. Long ago I made a pot pie with a biscuit topping and it was good.
ReplyDeleteI was also surprised we hadn't already made this recipe. Your pot pie looks heavenly! I never make it here because Shane wouldn't touch it and it always seems like a lot of work for one person. Also, chicken spaghetti? I'm intrigued, adding it to my menu in the coming weeks :)
ReplyDeleteBiscuits are the perfect top for Chicken Pot Pie. Haven't tried PW's yet, but I bet Dorie's biscuits made it even better.
ReplyDeleteI love the rustic look of drop biscuits--doesn't get much easier! I haven't made the pot pie yet in PW cookbook but the Chicken Spagetti is excellent. If you are cooking for a crowd it is the recipe you want to make!
ReplyDeletegreat idea! i should have done this over a turkey pot pie (canadian thanksgiving)
ReplyDeleteOh you made chicken pot pie with these! That's brilliant, and it looks delicious. :D
ReplyDeleteGreat choice, the biscuit idea on the chicken pot pie, yours look so crumbly & melt in your mouth!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea to use the biscuits to top pot pie! I love making drop biscuits and scones--so much easier than cutting things out. =)
