Apple Hedgebiscuits

Apple Hedgebiscuits

            I am well known as a tea fanatic, so for my first recipe I thought I'd have a hedgehog tea party and make some sort of tea food. While perusing the grocery aisles, I found some lovely ambrosia apples and decided to make biscuit-topped apples.  Hedgehogs also love a good apple mash, so I'll give some apples out to the herd as well.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Filling:

2 large apples (3 1/2 cups)

3 Tbs sugar
1 Tbs cinnamon
2 Tbs flour
4 Tbs butter (split into 8 pieces)

-peel & core apples. 

-Dice the apples and toss them with the dry ingredients

-spoon the spiced apples into the ramekins (8)

-top with butter

Topping:

3 cups flour

1 Tbs baking powder

1 Tbs sugar

1 tsp salt

¾ tsp cream of tartar

3/4 cup butter

1 cup milk

16 dried blueberries

Cinnamon

                                                        

combine dry ingredients

cut in the butter

stir in enough milk to moisten the dough

spread flour on the counter, flatten out the dough

cut 8 circles out of the dough. Shape them into tear drop shapes.  Press 2 dried blueberry eyes into each at the pointy end. Cut triangles into the round end for 'spikes'.  Add dough paws & ears if desired

sprinkle cinnamon on round ends of hedgebiscuits.

cook 11 minutes (or until slightly browned)

It makes a delicious breakfast!  

Drizzle with honey, or spread with butter or jam.
