Night Sky Breakfast!

(pictured: Ian)

yummy star shaped honey biscuits

Having the doctor "prescribe" honey as the main treatment plan for Kaleb's chronic cough is a dream come true to him. All I heard from him yesterday was how much he couldn't wait to use some of that honey we originally bought for purely medicinal purposes as a sweet breakfast treat. Below is what I came up with.
As with most kid - friendly meals, this is amazingly simple and easy. It is also a universe of fun!

Step 1: Prepare Bisquick "homemade" biscuit dough according to package directions.


Step 2: Use a star -shaped cookie cutter instead of a round glass to cut biscuit shapes.


Step 3: Bake only about 6 or 7 minutes. (package says 8, but that's a tad too long for the stars) Allow to cool.


Step 4: with a sharp knife, drill a small hole in the top of each star, going down at least halfway.


Step 5: slowly fill with honey


Step 6: Serve on a dark blue plate, with a banana or eggs placed to look like the moon, and various other fruit garnishes to complete the "night sky" motif. (a raspberry for mars, blueberries for Neptune and Pluto, blackberries for asteroids, etc..) Yummy!

*Please Note: Honey is not recommended for children under age 2. (per our pediatrician) I suggest filling the stars of little ones with pureed blueberries, fruit jam or mashed bananas. My two littlest ones loved theirs plain... they each ate two and a half of them!
