edible bliss... I fell smitten with wine biscuits two years ago. I had never heard of them prior to a trip to Pineland Farms one weekend when I bought a bag of American Vintage Wine Biscuits in Chianti, Oregano and Crushed Red Pepper. After one bite, I knew it was pure love. So I set off to make my own. It took a couple of tries before I had tweaked the ingredients to my personal perfection and mastered my hand at rolling out the dough to the correct thickness. Wine biscuits can be made with either white or red wine, but I prefer a red and the zesty of Chianti adds a great tang.
wine biscuits(approximately 28-32 biscuits)
2 1/2c flour
4-5 T sugar
1 t kosher salt
2 t baking powder
2 t cracked black pepper
cayenne pepper to taste
1/2 c chianti (or wine of your choice)
1/4 c vegetable oil (I often use olive oil as well, but then again, I use olive oil all the time)
In one bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl and set aside. Whisk together the wine and oil and slowly add into the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth dough forms. Refrigerate the dough for at least one hour.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly flour a rolling surface. Roll out the dough to 1/3" thickness. Cut into any shape desired or use cookie cutters. I usually just cut into 1.5" x 2" rectangles. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on rack.
