Bisquick Water Biscuits

So...

I've moved to Hawaii. Which has tons and tons of great food things. Among them, however, I've been hard pressed to find a biscuit. 

When I went home, it was the first thing I ate breakfast.

But alas, I am no longer at home, and am thusly thrust into the land of ono food sans southern tradition. 

Solution: make biscuits myself!

Lazy wife solution: bisquick!

And, not to put too fine a lazy point on it, mine don't even call for milk or measuring. 

Let's be real folks: Bisquick does most of the hard work for us. Their biscuit recipe calls for box mix and milk. Problem is in the vaguely lactose intolerant and infrequent grocery shopping household milk is a rare commodity and with a hurricane a-comin I'm not taking my butt to the grocery store. 

So I figured I'd use what I got. The water on top of my Greek yogurt? That's kinda buttermilk-ish right? Club soda? Sure - probably better than plain ol water. 

Results: delicious.

No Milk Bisquick Biscuits

A nub of butter 

A glop of Greek yogurt + water from surface

2 gulgs of club soda (or seltzer or online I even saw 7up)

Put a pan of any moderate size in the oven with the nub of butter till melted. 

In a big bowl (yes, sorry - gotta dirty up another bowl) glop in the yogurt and yogurt water. Pour over dry bisquick mix. Stir. Add glug of soda. Mix more. I looks dry add another glug. 

Dump into pan with melted butter. Score with a scraper or knife. Bake at 400ish. Wait 10 minutes. 

Consume with eggs and jam - bacon if you got it.

Healthy Shit Oven Hash

Down to the wire and using what I have before it spoils tomorrow: I present you healthy shit oven hash. 

On a baking pan put diced potatoes (mine were frozen potato o'brien mix #laaaazy), add a meat (mine was kielbasa that had been opened but not used up all week), and onion (mine was the quarter I left on the counter for god knows how long). 

Bake that all together. 

When potatoes are done I added a bunch of baby greens that were about to turn and green onion. Return that to the oven till they're wilted or crispy (depending on how you like). 

Voila!

I added salt, pepper, and mustard to my serving. I made other teachers jealous with my leftovers. Boom. 

Same bread.. New flavor.

I love rye... And the discount grocery had rye flour on sale, ergo rye bread. Same recipe as before with 1-2 cups subbed in instead if white bread flour. I also added a few crumbles of brown sugar and 'oops is that too many' caraway seeds. 

It was delicious enough to give half the loaf to a fried.
