You’d think that with Cook the Book Fridays being behind us, I’d not have so much trouble spitting out just bi-weekly blog posts, but here I am, two weeks late with these Potato Flake Biscuits. At least I did bake them on time for last month’s posting, I promise! I don’t make biscuits or scones very often. It’s not that I don’t like them, I just never crave them like I do cake or ice cream, and I have to be a bit choosey where I spend my pastry calories. I made a half recipe of these biscuits for a more controlled amount (just four squares) for the two of us, allowing me to fairly quickly resume my standard diet of cupcakes.

These savory biscuits came together easily. They are flavored with sautéed onion (I used scallion for extra green bits), some herbs and some Parm. Instant mashed potato flakes are their secret ingredient, which I think gives them a lightness. Really, they had great texture and flavor. I have two of them unbaked in the freezer, and I think I’ll do like Mardi and bake them off to go with chili before the weather warms up.

If you don’t have the book Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan, get it and join us as we bake through it every second and fourth Tuesdays. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll and all the other participation deets over on Tuesdays with Dorie!

Yours looks good…I think I would like yours better than I did mine hahaha! I like how you think…I also wouldn’t want to waste calories on biscuits when I could have chocolate or ice cream!
