Biscuits

(1/17) > >>

Bogie:
I wanted biscuits on my day off.
 
I remembered eating biscuits in the kitchen of the house on Route Two, and watching the sun come up while listening to the local AM station to see if there was too much snow to have school.
 
Those were Bisquick biscuits.
 
And they were good.
 
I made some today, but I cheated. I used heavy cream instead of milk.
 
And they were good.
 
And odds are,  you'd hear this... Or an even older version...

Mtnbkr occasionally makes biscuits. He's tried to recreate his grandmother's recipe. Not sure if he ever nailed it, but I've been party to some damned good batches of biscuits.

He, I think, uses lard.

I've made biscuits a number of times over the years and they've turned out OK, but anymore I'll just buy some of the frozen Grands biscuits and pop them in the toaster oven. They're about as good as anything that I can make on my own.

RocketMan:
We do the frozen Grands ourselves.  They're pretty good for a frozen biscuit.

Surprisingly they're a lot better than the Grands in the tubes.

Ben:
Man, I used to make biscuits all the time. I need to make some again. I recall when we had a thread on it back in the day, my recipe was similar to mtnbkr's using lard (lots of lard) and a cast iron pan in the oven. Pretty close to this old boy - it's just cowboy cookin'.  =)
