i must make biscuits, that is my project for the week. i'm starting with a very basic recipe on a bag of self-rising flour that i got to make yellow cake over the weekend (that cake was a hot mess, made the icing way too pasty and my niece and nephew had a very hard time making it look decent. photo is below, my father actually photoshopped it, that's how bad it was. maybe i should be working on icing cakes, but i'd rather work on biscuits).
how will i make biscuits on a regular basis and not gain a million pounds? well, my evening ice cream and dinner's carbohydrate will be replaced by that day's test biscuit (if it's good, if it's just one bad bite, that doesn't count).so i need advice - what makes your perfect biscuits perfect? i'm sure i'll figure out my own little spin on it, but in the meantime, i'd love some ideas.
Biscuits! Making perfect biscuits was actually my new year's resolution a couple of years ago!

I think the 3 main things I learned were to barely handle the dough, use a sil-pat and use frozen butter, which I grate into my dry ingredients and mix it up before adding the wet stuff. I will actually try to remember to send you the recipe, it is a sure thing. I think the cake looks delish, btw!
