If it were up to me, biscuits would be a food group of their own. Fresh biscuits should most definitely be served with every meal.
This recipe all started when I was watching Top Chef with AJ, why yes this Bravo addict got her husband addicted to a Bravo show. We’re obsessed and now that they’re getting down there with contestants we get completely stressed out everytime they ask someone to pack their knives. If you saw the episode where Travis was voted off, he was voted off for uncooked biscuits.
Nonetheless, his talk about how simple biscuit recipes are left me thinking. First, how ironic that he got voted off for not cooking them through, and also that I need to make biscuits from scratch immediately.
My biscuits were fully cooked.
They were pretty incredible served with a pat of butter or even honey or jam.
I wouldn’t have gotten voted off of Top Chef for these biscuits (This was my first attempt. Sorry Travis, you fail.)
AJ and I will probably always joke about biscuit quality with jokes of packing our knives, because that’s the way we are.
Now do you want my super simple biscuit recipe? I bet you do! At least I hope you do!
