Flourless Cookies:
Ingredients:
Creamy peanut butter 1 cup
Caster sugar ½ cup
Sugar to garnish
Brown sugar ½ cup
Egg 1
Salt ¼ tsp
Vanilla essence ½ tsp
Chocolate kisses as required
Sugar to coat
Method:
In a bowl, combine all ingredients except for the chocolate kisses. Press dough together into a ball, wrap tightly, and chill in fridge 30 minutes. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in sugar to coat. Place on lined cookie sheet. Lightly press down with your thumb. Bake at 180 degrees C for 7 minutes or until lightly golden but still very soft. Do not over bake. Once removed from oven, gently press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. Cool about a minute on cookie sheet, and then transfer to wire rack to finish cooling.
Biscuits and Gravy:
Ingredients:
Oil 2 tbsp
Chopped onion 1
Minced garlic 3 cloves
Minced mutton or beef 1/2 kg
Flour 3 tbsp
Milk 2-2/3 cups
Salt to taste
Ground black pepper as required
Large flaky biscuits 8-10
Chopped parsley ¼ cup
Method:
Heat oil. Add onion and garlic. Add mince, stirring to crumble it up well and brown it. Add flour, gently stirring until fully incorporated. Add milk and stir well to combine. Add ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp black pepper. Bring mixture to low boil, stirring, until sauce is thickened to desired gravy consistency. It should be rich gravy, yet thin enough to evenly pour into casserole. Grease bottom of a baking dish and layer half of the biscuit quarters evenly onto bottom.
Evenly spoon the gravy over baked biscuits. Place remaining biscuit quarters evenly on top of gravy. Cover loosely with foil and bake 14 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking 10 more minutes or until tops are puffy and golden brown. Serve immediately
Large Flaky Biscuits:
Ingredients:
Flour 2-1/2 cups
Baking powder 2 tbsp
Caster sugar 1 tbsp
Salt 1 tsp
Cold butter ½ cup
Cold buttermilk 1 cup
Melted butter to brush
Method:
Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Using a box grater, grate butter over the flour mixture and quickly toss to incorporate. Then make a well in the middle of the dough and pour in 1 cup buttermilk. Stir until just beginning to come together, and then dump out onto your work surface. Bring your dough together into a rectangle, about 1” thick. Fold the dough into thirds, like folding a letter to put into an envelope. Using a rolling pin, gently pat back into a 1” thick rectangle,
