Savoury Maple Biscuits

A friend of ours once made us amazing biscuits using our ‘Maple Mustard Hamonizer’ – obviously I am going to try to recreate that delicious moment while in social distancing mode!

This was inspired by a buttermilk biscuit recipe from the Cooks Illustrated Baking cookbook. I am not a huge fan of buying buttermilk as it usually goes to waste, so we used a mixture of whole milk and vinegar instead. As well as incorporated some of our ‘Maple Mustard Hamonizer’ and added a bit more salt. Allow these bad boys to brown up nicely in the oven, the crunchy top is the best part of these biscuits!

Maple Mustard Hamonizer

Savoury Maple Biscuits

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (10 oz) all purpose flour

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 2 tsp Big Cove Foods ‘Maple Mustard Hamonizer’ spice blend, divided

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 1 tbsp white vinegar

  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter, plus 2 tbsp, melted and cooled slightly

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 475°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a small bowl, mix together the milk and vinegar. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ‘Maple Mustard Hamonizer’ and salt. Set aside.

  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk and 8 tbsp of the melted butter. Stir until you see small clumps start to form.

  5. Add the milk mixture to the flour and gently stirring with a spatula until just combined.

  6. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, greased with butter or cooking spray, scoop your batter and drop it on the pan, making sure to leave at least 1 1/2″ space between the biscuits. Bake until the tops get nice and browned – it’s the best part so don’t get too eager to pull them out.

  7. While biscuits are baking, melt the remaining 2 tbsp of butter in a small ramekin and stir in the remaining 1 tsp of ‘Maple Mustard Hamonizer’.

  8. When the biscuits are finished, move them to a cooling rack. While still warm, brush the tops with the butter mixture. Allow to cool slightly, cause nothing is better than a warm biscuit.

I wasn't sure what to do with this...

I got one jar of this, and didn't know what to do with it. It was Taco Tuesday, so I decided to try to miss it while making the beef.
I would have to say that it ended up working, and I found my tacos were enhanced.

Big Cove Made It To The Caribbean!!!

My cousin and her husband came to visit me in Dominica West Indies. They brought along Egyptian summer and hot jerk spices from.Big Cove Foods!!! The taste sensation just blew my mind. I made a stirfry of chicken with vegetables using the Egyptian summer. The flavor was sensational. I used the hot jerk on some locally caught fresh mahi-mahi. It was absolutely extraordinary. I have a friend who’s coming to visit me in August and I’m hoping that she will be able to bring me a few of the others as well. I am hooked line and sinker. All the best with your business. I highly recommend these spices.. 💕

Great hostess gifts!

These little boxes of spice varieties are great! I’m taking them to Ontario this week and will use them as the perfect little ‘hostess gifts’ I use Big Cove spices all the time. ‘Mary had a’ is my favourite. I use it on everything! (I don’t even like lamb so I definitely don’t just use it for that, lol!)

Flavourful Blend

I repurchased this tasty blend when it was available again. I would say it's a medium heat so it's a nice option to have. We also enjoy the Ghost Taco blend but use it sparingly for that extra kick!

Found in Baddeck. Making Food taste great in Toronto

Travelled to Cape Breton ( Baddeck, where I was born and raised ) a couple of years ago and found these amazing spices. Been ordering ever since. Shipping to Toronto covered for an order big enough ( which we do ). Pick it up at the One of a Kind Show when we can. Use on meats and roasted veggies.

Ghost Taco spice blend
Best Taco Blend!

My second time purchasing Ghost Taco and it’s unreal. Perfect amount of spice and no fillers like starch that a lot of other blends have. Great on chicken and beef.

On top of that my package got stuck with the Canada Post Strike and when they learned I was still waiting they sent me a brand new package through a different shipper. Amazing customer service guys, thanks!

Hard to pick just one

What I love about these spices is that they may come individually packaged, but I still turn on a bit more wild, by mixing one package with another. Have you tried Taco Enhancer with Red Rub? Amazing
