Buttermilk Biscuits
Homemade biscuits, and all I had to do was wait with the butter knife at the ready. How lucky am I?!
What is more comforting than homemade buttermilk biscuits hot out of the oven? Not much. And if we all couldn’t use a bit more comfort in our lives right now, then I don’t know what. 
Dear Partner decided to tackle biscuits for the first time in her baking career/hobby a few days ago. As any practiced baker knows, biscuits are simple to make but easy to mess up. For example, every recipe cautions against over-handling the dough. Okay, but … how to know the right amount of handling? Trial and error. 
Buttermilk BiscuitsAttack of the 50-ft tall biscuits! Still tasty though.

​I’m happy to report 99% success.

The one percent penalty is because two of the biscuits are bizarrely large.

Still tasty, but perhaps steroid-enhanced, I don’t want to start any rumors, just sayin’.

The recipe comes from Sally’s Baking Addiction, a reliable source to address your cravings for baked goods. Split open, toasted, and slathered with butter – these babies are a meal unto themselves. Yum!

Gild the lily with a drizzle of honey-butter glaze - oh wow!

Today’s song while cooking has less to do with COVID-19 and more to do with the temptation to mind other people’s business more than our own. It’s a real catchy tune and good advice to boot.
​
For the jazzy dinnertime playlist, how about a little Country Jazz? The musician behind the playlist, George Barnes, was a master of country swing whose heyday was the 1950s and 60s. It’s good, twangy fun and I’m a fan. Please enjoy.

These sound delicious. I’m going to test my skills and attempt to make them.

Finally made these on Saturday. They were tasty. I didn't have any that grew to impressive heights like Ilise, though.
