Mushrooms on Biscuit Toast

Eh? What's a biscuit toast? Well, I had some sour cream leftover (still) but not enough to make another chocolate loaf yet too much to just eat with say...jacket potatoes. White mushrooms were on sale too so heck, let's try "Mushrooms on Toast" also from Nigella Lawson. Ok, got that down. What about the toast? Oh...I'll just make some bread. Ok, plans are set.

Unfortunately, plans went out the window. Completely preoccupied by packing and repacking for my upcoming trip (darned restrictive weight limits!!!), I completely forgot to start the yeast bread. Ahhh! The mushrooms are screaming to be cooked up at this point (nearly a week after I purchased them!) to save them from their own gooey ooze. The only bread on hand was wheat bread but Nigella specifically calls for a good white bread. And of course things always taste better on unhealthy white than wheat! ;) So....I whipped up a batch of baking powder biscuits!

This was an extremely fast and tasty treat! I found the biscuits paired well with the very flavourful mushrooms (though a bit too salty for my taste). I'm not a huge white mushroom fan so I think that says a lot about this recipe. You don't really need a recipe though as a first time try, it's a good place to start. I just dumped whatever was left in the container of sour cream; definitely more than the 1/4 cup called for, but how can you go wrong with something as tasty as sour cream? I used to eat spoonfuls of the stuff! Next time I have this predicament again, I know what I'm cooking up!
