Biscuits

I made biscuits for the first time yesterday. I know what you're thinking...southern barbie just made biscuits for the first time???? Well...yes...it's true. Made from scratch that is. Of course I've made the pillsbury biscuits and all the other kinds that come in the nifty little tube that makes the cool sound when you twist it. But these were made by my own two hands and let me tell you, they were GOOD! J-train said he thought he'd of had biscuits a long time ago since he married a southerner and that started a whole other conversations about stereotypes and how southerners don't just sit around all day eating biscuits and gravy and drinking sweet tea. Well, I guess the sweet tea thing is true...but the only time I ate biscuits was at Cracker Barrel. Yummy!!!!

Anyhow, biscuits are a labor of love. It takes a long time to cut in the butter with a pastry blender and my hands actually started hurting...but it was worth the pain. Every single flakey buttery bite.

So much for my diet. HELLO BISCUITS!!!

In fact, I made some more tonight. Jakey likes them too. They really aren't that bad for you, they're mostly flour, no oil or shortening or anything, but they do have a bit of butter and a tablespoon of sugar for the whole batch...that's not that bad....right???? Humm...oh well...they are amazing!

Have a great Friday!!!
