The idea of making homemade biscuits is so delicious that I jumped at the chance to make some. Hubby was making Pork Chops Forestiere and I thought that you can't have them without biscuits. The last time I made biscuits, they were
huuuugggggggeee. Unfortunately, I can't find pictures to post here.
This recipe was so easy; chilled butter, buttermilk, salt, honey and flour. I didn't think I could go wrong until I read that I had to roll the dough. Why would that be a problem, you ask??
I DON'T HAVE A ROLLING PIN!!! Well I didn't say I had this baking thing down yet.
I know I've been saying that I'm getting one but haven't yet (that's another post).
Anyway, I did the mixture and used my makeshift rolling pin
Yes that's a thermos. LOL
It was hard to roll, next challenge was how to cut them into circles. When in doubt, make your own. I use a glass.
Are you sensing problems already??
This is what they looked like in the oven.
I'm thinking I didn't do all of them thick enough. Well you judge for yourself.
All in all, I made plenty of mistakes in making these. I left my mixture sitting while tending to my daughter (DH), so the butter started melting. I didn't use the right equipment and I may have over mix. It didn't rise (not sure what happened there).
One thing you can't take away from this disaster is how it taste; IT WAS GREAT!!
Family loved it regardless of the lack of rising. Got to love them for eating my experiments.
