| Onion Biscuits |
An easy recipe! A pleasure since I've had a few challenges lately, some IN the kitchen some not! Its kind of surprising how mild the onion flavor is in these. I've made them twice and enjoyed them both times. And they freeze so nicely. After cutting the biscuits out I froze them on a cookie sheet then bag them up and bake as needed.
Dorie's right, they make a delicious nibble with champagne or a cocktail and can be ready at a moment's notice. In my fantasy world, friends, fascinating people all, stop by for stimulating conversation and cocktails. I turn on the oven and pop in either these onion biscuits or Dorie's Mustard Batons, two of my favorite Dorie recipes because they are easy, tasty and freeze and bake so easily.
And of course, I have fabulous cocktails at all times. How can I be an amazing hostess without a fabulous cocktail? My current favorite drink is a wine cooler. This one is made by adding a splash of ginger ale and a splash of orange juice to an inexpensive cabernet. The recipe called for simple syrup but I like to coat the rim of the glass with raw sugar instead. A party in an instant!
That's what's going on in LolaLand. Stop by
French Fridays with Dorie to see what's happening in the rest of the world!
Lovely party foods. Your biscuits look perfect. I like the onion in these...makes a plain biscuit become special. I'll bet your fantasy world party was delightful.
ReplyDeleteI have half the batch in my freezer waiting for friends to stop by and have cocktails... but I don't think they are going to make it past the weekend!
ReplyDeleteSo true- I always picture myself with a Midnight in Paris setting collaboration of friends happening! Your biscuits look mahhhveous & I think I may need to try that wine cooler recipe pronto!
ReplyDeleteCan I be a part of your world with a wine cooler's waiting for me when I walk in? :-)
ReplyDeleteGrand idea!
Yep, Guyla, I have the same fantasy! LOL! We really enjoyed these, too.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
That wine cooler looks so refreshing. I am always wishing I was in Paris and every time I have been there, there is always something
ReplyDeletenew to see. Your biscuits look great and I can think of many delicious toppings for a great cocktail party.
Your biscuits came out perfect looking...I also found them easy to make! I made mine with out the onions...no way my hubby would eat them with onions! I thought they were so delicious and buttery!
ReplyDeleteThat wine cooler looks good, maybe a few nibbles of onion biscuits on the side! Nice job on the biscuits, always good to have a simple baking project;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear they freeze well. When shall I come by for cocktails ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat looking biscuits and a nice looking cocktail to match!
ReplyDeleteLolaLand sounds pretty terrific - especially with that wine cooler cocktail, glad you included the recipe as I think cocktails are severely under-appreciated. They truly do make a festive party! I think LolaLand would do well with our Palm Springs March Madness ;) Don't know if you saw the "Picnic" I went to on Christy's Palate, but think you would find it entertaining!
ReplyDeleteParty in an instant -- I love it! I like the scalloped edges on your biscuits. I enjoyed these, and am glad to know about the freezing being successful because that means I can have them more often!
ReplyDeleteThese biscuits with a cocktail or glass of bubbly sounds so elegant.
ReplyDeleteNow, that takes my house mock-tail to a new level -- cab instead of pomegranite juice...sounds like the new sangria!
ReplyDeleteCute post, Lola! I love the scalloped edge on your biscuits. I am going to try your wine cooler recipe.
ReplyDeleteWhile your biscuits look great, I really want one of your wine coolers!
ReplyDeleteI know just how you feel, I still have a few gougeres in my freezer and I feel ever so elegant just knowing that they are there. And those mustard batons were among my favorite recipes as well.
ReplyDeleteLovely cocktail! Reminds me of my Dad's quick sangria - just swap the ginger ale for lemon/lime soda! The yogurt biscuits turned out GREAT. I will definitely be posting about them soon.
ReplyDeleteI agree, in my dream world I would serve cocktails every night. In reality I'm lucky if it happens once a year! These do make a great aperitif.
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of cutting them and then freezing until wanted. Even if it's just fantasy, it sounds like you'd be the hostess with mostess!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to freeze have these ready for some unexpected company! Your wine cooler looks delicious, just perfect with these biscuits and some fruit and cheese :)
