No corn harvest for awhile.
It’s raining here and of course the moisture content (while lovely for my complexion) has plumped up the ears of corn to a lush 15.8%. Since high humdity will make wrinkly skin disappear and straight hair curl it does have it’s disadvantages. How it works on our skin and hair is how it works on a ear of corn.
So we wait.
For those of you who are enjoying my gluten-free recipes I bring to you-
Buttermilk Biscuits
2/14 cups white rice flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup sweet rice flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 teaspons baking powder
1 tesaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon xantan gum
3/4 c chilled butter cut into little tiny pieces
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1. Preheat oven to 425*. Grease a baking sheet or line the sheet with parchment paper
2. In a large bowl shift together the dry ingredients at least three times (these types of flours need lots of air and mixing to come together correctly)
3. Using your fingers, rub the chilled butter into the dry sifted ingredients until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. (No large pieces of butter should remain.)
4. Pour buttermilk over the mixture and stir until moistened.
5. Drop (or roll your dough) for each biscuit onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing your biscuits about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake about 15 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Serve warm with butter and jam. (Red Pepper jelly is extra good!)
Store any uneaten biscuits in a zip lock bag.

thank you for the recipe. I’ve been thinking of going a little more gluten free. We need to come up with a really good pasta dough recipe that is gluten free. Pasta is what is holding me back.

Great shot of the corn but sorry to see that it is still there. We are soaking too. I have never noticed high humidity decreasing wrinkles. We have high humidity everyday in summer but I still have wrinkles and straight hair, but Bill’s goes curly.

What would be the perfect weather and how long would it need to hang around? I’m thinking a prayer to God and a secondary visit with Mother Nature might be in order. 🙂
Biscuits–yum!

I would call those scones! What we call biscuits you call cookies ……. cookies to us are cakes. It can be very confusing reading other nation’s recipes. Also, we weigh our ingredients, rather than using cups. I still have my fingers crossed for your harvest (although it does make it awkward to do thimgs!!)
