Spendin Some Time

After the depressing news earlier in the week
I thought Chloe and I needed to spend some time
Sure...we spend a lot of time together
but I meant a project.....let's make sumpin'
Birdseed Biscuit....in my latest issue of Family Fun

Preheat to 170

get some cookie cutters...the small one actually proved better

I used a 2 inch and 3 inch and a 4 inch

Some birdseed.....once again...smaller is better...they held together better.

Flour

Water

Pam or some sort of Grease

drinking straws

ribbon or yarn

foil

pan

mix 3/4 cup of birdseed

1 Tablespoon of Flour

2 Tablespoons of water

This is a good job for your little stirrer.....

and you don't really have to stir it all that long..

but its a good distraction for the little ones while you grease the cookie cutters

line the pan

cut the straws

and make sure the oven is ready

so....keep stirrin' Chloe

Pack the mixture into the greased cookie cutters

which are lying on a foil-lined baking sheet.

Stick a piece of a drinking straw where

you would like the hole for the ribbon or yarn to be

bake them for 1 hour...or until hard

mine were hard after 1 hour

The recipe makes two 3 inch biscuits or one 4 inch biscuit

So we made several batches

After they cool...remove the straw and add ribbon or yarn.

NOTE...they are very fragile...the above step may be a good part for you to do....2 of our larger ones broke....however, the tiny ones were fabulous.

Once strung....take outside and hang where you can watch from you home....I love to watch birdies eat.

These would make really cute gifts for teachers and for grandma.....but be sure to mark them FRAGILE.

to unwind from all that baking we set up the Valentine treat assembly line

and 25 treat bags later....

Check that off the list......check.

enjoy !!

Have a happy day
