Hey, y’all. 🙂

Happy Friday.

Me lately. 🙁

Did y’all have a good spring break?

Did some baking this week.  It’s never a good sign when you get all your dry ingredients measured out and then something falls off a shelf and into said dry ingredients bowl sending flour all over the place. That recipe turned out awful.

 😉

Got my new Hill merch. I feel the need to clarify that I’m not channeling Meme and planning to wear it with that stripedey skirt under it 😉 I just forgot to crop it out. Anyway the first time I washed it the color on that one spot of the logo washed completely off.  I didn’t think they’d do anything since I’d already washed it but I sent them the pic and they’re sending me another one.

Got another load of gfjules flour. 🙂

This week’s human garbage? Joe Osborn. Watched this docu about The Carpenters.  I have some younger readers so The Carpenters were a big deal brother / sister duo in the 70’s and early 80’s…before the sister, Karen died of anorexia.  This docu was filmed in 1997 and is horrible picture quality but is the story of their career.  This Joe @ss__ was talking about the first time he heard Karen sing in the studio after she’d played the trumped and he said “forget the trumpet this chubby girl can sing”.  OK so it’s the late 60’s and he’s an @ss__ that’s one thing but again this was filmed in the late 90’s and 14 years after the women he’s talking about STARVED herself to DEATH to look thin.  Seriously you’re such garbage you can’t even fake acting like a decent human being for the docu?

🙂

Now about that baking…

2 cups gfjules flour, 3 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 2 tbsp sugar, 4 tbsp chunked up cold butter.

1 cup buttermilk.

Mixed up. Should look messy.

Pressed together in Saran and into the icebox overnight.

Rolled and folded 4 times til the butter is all incorporated and the dough is silky smooth. No cool rest between rolls and folds.  I only did the finger press thing to show how soft the dough is.

Back into the icebox for several hours.

Then I rolled it out and made the flakiest layered biscuits.  It was a dream to work with.  I used one for a little cheeseburger slider.  Everyone else ate theirs breakfast style.  Then…

I took the rest of them and made panko style bread crumbs…they’re in the bag on the left.  The bag on the right is regular crumbs made from old bread.

I needed some bread crumbs for a recipe I’ll post next week and I had the idea of making layer style biscuits so I could separate the layers, dry them, then get a thicker crumb when pulsed.  I remembered one of my Meme’s biscuit recipes and tried it out gluten – free.  Loved it.  I also made a batch for the freezer where I didn’t do all the rolling.  I just grated the butter into the flour, mixed it all up then rolled out a little piece of dough for a tester to see how it would taste. It was delish too…but of course had no layers…and a lot less work.  I’ll try to remember to post pics whenever I bake the freezer dough.

Ok that’s all for today. Y’all have a great weekend and I’ll see you soon. 🙂
