by 1 Comment

Can I just say it is not easy to bake with a 2yr old….and on top of that her 5yr old brother who stayed home from school today…OYE! But, I got the job done!

Today I used http://joythebaker.com‘s recipe for Apple Pie Biscuits using http://www.kingarthurflour.com‘s Self Rising Flour for their #bakingbootcamp contest! This was so easy and yummy! You can find the recipe on her website along with details of the contest. I believe it ends within the next week or so.

I got asked to bake for a friends community group and thought this would be perfect! She said there are going to be kids there as well which is where the Snickerdoodles come into play!

Here’s a pic of the yummy biscuits…
