I’ve watched home shopping networks during the holidays and the food they put out. Lasagna for $50.00,beef roasts you need a 2nd mortgage for and more sugary treats than one can possibly fit in the kitchen .....Annnd the people buy them...It’s sold for you to hang with family and friends and not waste your time in the kitchen......The prices of online cakes are ridiculous and they sell....
I find buttermilk in the dairy case but they dont stock much.
Oh God, I can’t stand her or her husband anymore. Too perfect.
Finding decent buttermilk is the hard part.
These biscuits aren't likely meant for you, and that's ok. They're meant for the thousands of women who spend six or eight bucks at the checkout aisle every month buying her magazine to see her effortlessly lounging in yet another pastel room clad in shiplap.
There's a whole economy built around people who could do stuff but don't. People who have beautiful gourmet kitchens but only know how to make reservations and use the microwave. People who use brunch as a verb, people who aren't rich but want to buy a moment of a rich person's lifestyle by eating an overpriced biscuit that a celebrity says is perfect.
Would the world be better off if more people knew that it costs mere pennies to make great flakey buttery biscuits and the technique isn't difficult to learn at all? Absolutely. Is that going to happen any time soon? Well, we had a year of people staying at home with restaurants closing by the day, if that mass conversion were to happen, it would have happened by now.
I use the full fat. Local grocers don’t stock it, so I have to travel periodically and stock up. Fortunately the stuff has a great shelf/fridge life.
But apparently she is some kinda star (with humble roots) so...
We have a homemade biscuit place about a mile from me. $1.50 for a buttermilk biscuit. $4.25 for a biscuit with fried chicken and gravy. Think I’ll stick with them.
It costs money to wallpaper over Waco
It’s entertainment for a population who has too much money from stealing generational wealth from future generations.
Awww! When hubby bowled, his favorite pre-bowling night dinner was a baked hot dog wrapped in a Bisquick crust and baked beans.
He still prefers that to a hot dog bun.
To me, baking is the most difficult of the culinary arts, almost more like chemistry, but dude! it’s biscuits! come on!
Frozen biscuits are God’s gift to Poppy’s everywhere. They are light years better than any tube biscuit. Pop them in the convection oven for 15 minutes and viola, one (very acceptable) biscuit. Many microwaves double as convection ovens. Would also work well in an air fryer, which is just sooped up convection oven.
Convection cooking is very efficient and precise. My favorite convection cooker is my pellet grill. A wood fired convection oven.
Yesterday’s bacon biscuits sure looked good. Haven’t tried them yet but I have a jar a bacon grease ready to go.
Oh, and the price is really $40. That’s a lot of biscuits if I bake them myself.
White Lily is the best flour for biscuits! My Aunt had been trying to make biscuits like my Grandmother used to make and could never get it just right. I visited the mountains where they were from and found they all used White Lily so I shipped some flour to her. Viola! Problem solved!
Sad aint it? The Covid thing did not result in self sufficiency and familial togetherness, it drove up grub hub stock.
You know what makes me crazy?
Try to find a can of refried beans with lard in it!!
