Happy 4th of July everyone. I hope everyone has plans to enjoy the holiday and eat some great food. This morning I treated the family to a red, white, and blue breakfast. Well I should amend that to a white and blue breakfast but I think that the juice from the blueberries can qualify as red. I made some lemon biscuits with a blueberry sauce. I think everyone enjoyed them as my husband had thirds, my son took seconds, and the baby even ate one. Here is the quick and easy recipe.
For Biscuits:
5 cups of instant pancake mix (see note)
1 1/2 cups of water
1/4 cup of milk
zest from two lemons
For Sauce:
2 cups of clean blueberries
1/2 cup of sugar
juice from 1 lemon
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Mix all ingredients in a medium size bowl. Using a non stick cooking spray, spray cookie sheets, using a tablespoon, spoon dough onto sheet making sure to leave some room between biscuits. Bake in the oven for 8 to 11 minutes. While biscuits are baking, in a medium saucepan cook blueberries, sugar and lemon until the blueberries release their juices, about 7 minutes. Take sauce off of the heat and place in a bowl to serve. When biscuits are done transfer to a large plate and serve with sauce and butter. Enjoy...
Note: Make an instant pancake mix or use something like Bisquick.
For instant pancake mix use Alton Brown's recipe that can be found on the Food Network website.
And now for a little preview of what is coming later...
That grill is awesome. My family also uses one that size for the 4th of July. We have to haul it into the yard from my Uncle's bar with a pick up truck and a full side of beef only feeds that family 1 meal lol. Good to know we are not the only ones :)
