I'm so dumb. You're so smart. I don't need to buy one yet another kitchen gadget to make round biscuits - d'oh! You used a glass! Duh. Your biscuits came out so much more attractive than my blob drop biscuits. I'm inspired to make biscuits tonight using your recipe!
You must go out of your way to make extra trips through your garage now just to soak up the good karma of organization and enjoy the blissful energy in there. :)
My mother used a glass. Pint glasses are just perfect size. Biscuits, to be light and fluffy, need to be gently handled - not worked too much in the kneading. I tend to add flour/milk to get a workable dough and then gently fold by hand in the bowl about 6 times at 90 degree angles. Pat out to about 1.5 inches and then cut. My recipe makes 2 big biscuits. You might have to vary the soda/salt/sugar for something that tastes right to you.
I blew it BIG TIME with the biscuits! I ended up using Fanny Farmer's recipe since my computer was both upstairs and turned off, and Fanny is in the kitchen. My gas stove burns hot, it had already been running for 1 hour with baked potatoes, and I forget that sometimes Fanny writes for old fashioned kerosene stoves and not nice efficient modern ones anyhow. On top of that, I quartered her recipe since she claimed it made 16 and I wanted 4. I got 2 small biscuits -- which ended up being 2 charred hockeypucks since I didn't watch them but relied on the timer. I will most certainly try again, however, maybe even tonight!
On the bright side, the cutting aspect worked great -- if the biscuits were short due to reduction in the recipe.
I always have to watch baking times with my toaster oven as the food is very close to the heating coils on top. It broils fish and melts cheese very well and is superb on garlicky bread. It tends to burn my baked goods especially those that rise (like biscuits!)
I hadn't realized how much I hurt until it went away. I've gone from 8 tabs of tramadol/day to 3 tabs. My plantar fascia has also reduced remarkably. This makes sense since the biologic drug targets TNF which causes inflammation. Hopefully, in the next few months, I'll be able to transition off the anti-inflammatory and the MTX.
