Rich, flavorful hot soup. I used crunchy peanut butter and liked it good. Sweet potatoes or yams are a great addition. Yields: 6 servings, 321 cal each.

You might need to buy:
  • peanut oil
  • unbleached all-purpose flour
  • chicken broth
  • creamy natural peanut butter
  • evaporated skim milk
  • salt
  • ground black pepper
  • hot red pepper flakes
  • Optional garnishes: chopped chives and chopped unsalted roasted peanuts

When these come out right, they are airy, tender, and wholesome. When they come out wrong (rising is a tricky business), they are still very enjoyable, especially with preserves. The dough is very sticky and hard to handle, so it requires a stint in the fridge. Makes 12 biscuits, 128 cal each

  • whole wheat flour
  • unbleached all-purpose flour
  • sugar
  • baking powder
