About
I have been wanting to make biscuits for years now and finally the day came. There are so many recipes that my head started to spin. I was looking for easy and delicious. Every recipe was too complicated, too dry and flavorless. Taking what I consider way too much time to prepare. However, I did found the perfect one. Soft and flaky full of flavor and so easy to make. I do know now why peoples bake. Kneading the dough was the most serene and peaceful experience for me. Your fingers feeling the dough in between your fingers going from flour fragments to this soft manageable consistency was pure bliss. You can tell I do not bake right?
