I have always had a love-hate relationship with biscuits. I love to eat them with butter and honey, but I hate making them because the kitchen always ends up looking like a flour factory, and I end up looking like I work in one – well-floured from head to toe. And God forbid any water gets on the floor, or I’d end up with a glue factory. Remember the homemade glue we made as kids with flour and water?
I’ve tried and tried making biscuits for years, and in all that time, they’ve only come out good one time – and that was 20 years ago. And get this – my husband doesn’t even remember. A lot of good that did.
Never one to give up, I recently gave it another shot when a recipe from Tupelo Honey came across my email offering its famous biscuit recipe. My curiosity piqued, I gathered my flour, shortening, liquids and butter and started another biscuit production – take two.
Lo and behold, they came out perfectly – crisp on the bottom and fluffy in the middle. Try yours with a little butter and honey or homemade blueberry jam. Delicious.
