So there is this food blog called Our Best Bites (
http://www.ourbestbites.com/) that I totally love! They have so many good recipes and the other day I made their Buttermilk Cheddar Biscuits. My camera was sitting on the kitchen counter and I decided to take a "shot" (I'm so funny, haha) at food photography. I had lots of fun experimenting and here are the results!
 |
| I read about a great tip online on how to cut in butter when making pastry or bicuits. This is frozen butter I grated with a cheese grater! It was tempting to just grab a handful and taste it! Like of course butter would taste better in cute little curls, right? |
 |
| Adding a bit of flour to the cheese helps it disperse more evenly! |
 |
| Basic dry ingredients |
 |
| Yummy! |
Looks good Lou, did you look at the bestbites website today? wow those cupcakes jars look so so good. Lauren is there any chance you could send me your homemade oreo cookie receipe? I had them last year at your mom's house and there were so good!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
I never thought about grating frozen butter! I'm always disappointed when I don't have any thawed and I need it "Right Now!". Awesome tip, thanks Lou! Your first shot at food photography is great!
ReplyDeleteNo problem Brett! And thanks!!
ReplyDeleteAmanda, I'm so sorry I never got you this recipe last year! I totally forgot! Here it is...
2 boxes Devil's Food cake mix
2/3 cup oil
4 eggs
Mix together cake, oil and eggs. Roll into balls the size of a quarter (or as big as you want) and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake @ 350 for about 8 min. (I underbake mine just a little so that they stay soft)After they are cooled put this icing between 2 cookies!
4 oz. cream cheese
1 cup butter
2-3 cup icing sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla
you can be generous with the icing, I usually have a bit left over! Enjoy : )
I don't even remember asking for it last year, no harm done and Thanks!
