00:00Hi everyone this is Andy welcome back to easy cooking as you can see today's video is another

00:09Halloween recipe this one was perfect with the recipe I made on my last video the pasta I'm

00:14going to be showing you how to make cream biscuits really easy to make super delicious I'm going to

00:18be shaping them like spiders so they are perfect for the party the preparation time and the cooking

00:23time combined is going to be about 35 minutes I really hope you like this video let's get started

00:30you will find the list of ingredients in the description box of this video and you will also

00:34find it in my blog where you can print the whole recipe let's get started preheat the oven to 400

00:41degrees Fahrenheit in a large bowl sift the dry ingredients the flour the salt and the baking

00:47powder stir well and then add in the water and the shortening make sure both the water and shortening

00:53are really cold and cut into small pieces now we're going to combine this until we get a texture

00:59similar to coarse breadcrumbs once you get the right texture now add in the cream and stir until

01:07everything is well combined into a smooth dough do not overwork the dough if you overwork it you will

01:13end up with really hard biscuits and if your dough is looking to dry feel free to add a little more

01:19cream I ended up adding one more teaspoon of cream sometimes the flour tends to be drier when it's cold

01:25outside so feel free to add a little more liquid if necessary once the dough is ready now we're going

01:32to roll it out on a flour surface we're going to roll it out to a half an inch thickness and I'm going

01:39to use this cutter to make all the biscuits about the same size you can make them any size you want

01:44and once the biscuits are all cut out now we're going to shape them I want my biscuits to look like

01:49spiders so I'm going to grab the circle and I'm going to roll it into a ball to make the spider

01:55I need to shape the ball into a bigger ball for the body and a smaller ball for the head so I'm

02:02just pinching or grabbing a little bit of the dough and bringing it to the front to form the head like

02:08I said the hair will be smaller than the rest of the body so just keep on shaping it until you think is

02:13the right size and to make the legs I'm going to use the leftover dough each spider will have six legs

02:20so for each spider I'll make three long sticks with the leftover dough and then I'm just going to pinch

02:25the sticks together right in the middle to bring them together just like you see in the video and

02:30then place the spider right on top of the legs you can moist the dough with a little bit of water or

02:36cream to attach the body to the legs and once the body is attached to the legs now we're going to

02:42shape the legs a little bit so you spend them a little bit to give them a more realistic look

02:46you don't want them to look like sticks just keep on repeating these steps until you're done if

02:55your spiders have a lot of cracks on the surface you can dip your fingers in a little bit of cream

03:00or water and just soften the cracks with your fingers with the leftover dough you can also make

03:05the eyes for the spiders I'm just making tiny little balls with the leftover dough and to attach them

03:10I'm just going to moist them with a little bit of cream or water and then I'm going to stick them

03:14in place and that's about it now with a knife or a toothpick I'm going to poke the spider body a couple

03:22times and this step is optional this will make a few holes in the body to give them a more realistic

03:27look but like I said this step is optional and now we're going to bake them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for

03:33about 10 minutes while they are baking over here I have two tablespoons of melted butter and I'm going

03:39to season it with a little bit of Italian seasoning and a little bit of garlic salt stir well and then

03:46set this aside for a minute and this is how the spiders look after 10 minutes as you can see they

03:51are not perfect but spiders are not pretty or perfect at all so I think they are looking great for a

03:56Halloween dinner now we're going to brush them with a little bit of melted butter we need very few

04:02water for this so don't go crazy with it just add enough to give them some color and then place them

04:08back in the oven for another five more minutes and after five more minutes they should be completely

04:13cooked and they should also have a beautiful brown color and this is how they look like I said they

04:19are not perfect at all I think the cracks on the biscuits only add more charm and personality to the

04:24spiders and the water made them crisp and golden brown on the outside so they are perfect they are

04:30delicious they are kind of big so you can make them smaller if you want they might not be cute but they

04:36are perfect for the Halloween party enjoy to print this and some other delicious recipes please don't
