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.
Sad aint it? The Covid thing did not result in self sufficiency and familial togetherness, it drove up grub hub stock.
