What is the best thing to eat...?

Question

...to stop my craving for junk like biscuits?

I hope I haven't offended any biscuit lovers out there. That's the problem. I love biscuits but they are full of fat, sugar and salt. Can anyone recommend a healthy biscuit recipe?

Answer 1

drink lots of water

Answer 2

Southern Biscuits

2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons shortening
1 cup buttermilk, chilled

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using your fingertips, rub butter and shortening into dry ingredients until mixture looks like crumbs. (The faster the better, you don't want the fats to melt.)

Make a well in the center and pour in the chilled buttermilk. Stir just until the dough comes together. The dough will be very sticky.

Turn dough onto floured surface, dust top with flour and gently fold dough over on itself 5 or 6 times. Press into a 1-inch thick round. Cut out biscuits with a 2-inch cutter, being sure to push straight down through the dough.

Place biscuits on baking sheet so that they just touch. Reform scrap dough, working it as little as possible and continue cutting.

Bake until biscuits are tall and light gold on top, 15 to 20 minutes.

Why not make your own so that you know exactly whats going into them?

My recipe is : -

175g flour
100g sugar
150g butter
2 med size eggs
3 tablespoons cocoa powder (optional)
Dried fruit, cut up
Nuts, (I normally use hazelnuts)

mix together the butter and sugar till it's smooth, then add the eggs and extras. Slowly add in the flour then put in the freezer for about an hour ( this makes it easier to handle) Pre-heat oven to 175 C. Remove mixture from freezer and, using floured hands (mixture doesnt stick to your hands this way) scoop up a little and roll it into a ball. Place on a greased tray and flatten. Only takes about 10-15 mins to bake or until they are brown and crispy.

I've noticed that the more sweet fruit you add, the less sugar you need so play about with the recipe till you get something you like.
Hope this helps.

Answer 5

I've heard and/or read that you should eat six small meals throughouth the day rather than three large meals. Plus drink lots of water.
If you can fill yourself up on healthier foods, then you won't be tempted to oversnack on junk. Biscuits aren't necessarily junk but it's not good to be snacking on them all the time.

Answer 6

Hey man don't knock the biscuits! Who ever said man cannot live by bread alone never had a KFC buttermilk biscuit.

Answer 7

I don't know if u like things like fruit, but if u eat like an apple or a pear (or any other fruit for that matter) everytime u feel like u want to eat junk, not only will u feel better about your food choice, but you'll also be healthier becuase fruits contain tons of vitamins and minerals that help the body.

If u like veggies better, things like carrots and celery are the same way!!

Answer 8

I have a good recipe for you that lasts a while in the fridge and stops cravings for sweet stuff
Philadelphia cheese
mixed with little bit of tinned pineapple and a little of the juice and carrot sticks it has a sweet/tangy taste. it is ideal if you use lite philly cheese. not a lot of suger either.
