  1. I tried these yesterday, using skim milk since I didn't have buttermilk. I wasn't very impressed with them. I realize that no fat biscuits will never have the flavour or texture of regular biscuits, so I wasn't expecting that, but I did hope they would be better than they were. They were certainly acceptable (especially when dunked in stew) but I don't think I'll make them again. Sorry Barbara -- but thanks for posting the recipe ayway!
     
  2. I just finishing making this recipe. I used vanilla soy milk instead of butter milk. I put 2 tablespoon of honey. The flour I used was 1 cup whole wheat and 1 cup unbleached white flour I also used 1/2 cup prunes and apple sauce ( puree baby food pack) . This was the best NO FAT biscuits I ever had. They came out very soft. I have made other different recipe. The sodium is a bit high. for one biscuits I think its the baking powder.

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all. Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
