Italian Pull Apart Bread

I went to a cooking party the other night and we made some yummy food.  Here are a couple things I learned.

1 tube refrigerated biscuits
1 cube butter
Italian seasoning to taste
1 tsp minced garlic

Melt the butter in 8x8 pan.  Add Italian seasoning and garlic.  Cut the biscuits into 1/4 pieces.  Toss in the 8x8 pan coating them with the butter mixture.  Put in oven at 350º and cook till done about 10-12 minutes.

Cream Biscuits

This recipe come from Paula Dean. It simply couldn't be easier, and receives rave reviews.


Ingredients:
2 cups self rising flour, plus a little more for dusting. (See note below)
1 T sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450º
In a medium bowl stir together the flour and sugar.  Add the cream slowly until the dough forms a ball. Turn onto a surface dusted with a bit of additional flour. Fold the dough in 1/2 and knead  lightly 5 to 7 times, adding just enough flour to keep the dough from sticking to your hands. Gently roll out or pat to about 5/8" or so. Use a biscuit cutter or glass dipped in flour to cut out the dough.  Place on a cookie sheet coated with cooking spray, leaving about 1" between each biscuit.  Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Note: If you don't have self rising flour, just mix 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder and 1/2 tsp. salt with  1 cup regular flour, and you're set to go.  Make sure it's mixed well before you add the cream.  A wire wisk works just great.
