    Yum. Nice presentation with the ingredients first (for reference or those who already know the process) and nice pictures of each step (for beginners.)

    Jef,
    Receiving your homemade biscuit recipe today, the SAME day that I placed an order with Smithfield Hams of Virginia for a Ham & Bacon Breakfast BISCUIT Kit is EERIE, to say the least. Is it possible that Pinetree has “discreetly” placed cameras and microphones in their customers’ homes??

    A very Merry Christmas to you and your family

    John

    I LOVE biscuits. They satisfy my craving for crispy and salty in one package. I thought I would give a hint, for easy dispensiing of the 1/4 cup of dough. I make big gluten freeoatmeal cookies, to sell at Farmer’s Market. I have found two different ice cream scoops, which make perfect sized cookies every time. One is 3 Tablespoons and the one I use for the oatmeal cookies, is 4 Tablespoons (1/4 cup) that is a LOT easier than getting sticky dough out of a measuring cup, for each biscuit. ;D

    Hi Sue! Great tip about the dried buttermilk! You can also find powdered cream to keep in the pantry. Both are great to have around when the need to bake strikes!
