Another positive baking moment...

I have been trying so hard to make homemade biscuits for some time. I always end up with flat hockey pucks. Then I found Alton Brown. I tried his recipe but did not weigh my flour and again came up with hockey pucks. Then I tried weighing my flour (AB's way) like I did for my cookies, and wow, I had high fluffy lite biscuits.




They weren't the prettiest shape but they were good. We had a nice brunch of scrambled eggs, bacon and homemade biscuits today. Did you know, you eat much better when you cook?

The sight of those biscuits just caused actual drool to form in my mouth...guess it's been a while since I had a real biscuit!

Did you know you taught me how to make biscuits? I think you did the "drop biscuit" variety, which I had not known existed until you showed me. Also, you told me to always preheat the oven before putting food in, instead of just considering it part of the cooking time! You also taught me how to make sausage bread, something an old roommate of mine still asks for!
