Aren’t biscuits delicious? One day I was watching a morning show while getting ready for work. A woman was preparing biscuits and said how easy they are to make. So, I thought, I would make some.
I went online to the show’s website and found the recipe. It was only a few ingredients. Some kneading and rolling out was required. But, as long as yeast wasn’t required; and it wasn’t, it seemed like easy goings. I’ve kneaded and rolled out crusts for tarts in the past, so I thought it would be simple. After all, she said it would be easy.
But, this dough was tacky. I couldn’t put enough flour on my hands or counter to keep it from sticking. Instead of rolling out the dough and cutting out the biscuits, I decided to make balls and press them into the sheet like cookies.
But, I had only a few, less than delicious, biscuits to show for all my efforts. When these things don’t work out the way I would like, I don’t feel inclined to try it again. So, now, whenever I taste a biscuit, whether store bought or home made, I appreciate the effort that went into it and call it good as long as it’s satisfactory.
