Biscuits for 2

[bill_schubert]

Now I've got a 6" cake it is time to downsize the rest.  I love biscuits and love bacon, egg, biscuits or ham/egg or sausage/egg.  Whatever.  Good breakfast.  But biscuits become hockey pucks in a day or so and after breakfast I don't tend to eat as many.  I just made a four biscuit recipe that I need to work on.  It was inspired by wildcelticrose2 picture of a biscuit today.  

It is square because I don't have a round cutter and no reason not to have them square.  I need to work on them a bit.  Always working on getting them to rise as much as possible.  Flakey layers.

This recipe made four rather large ones so I need to cut it down some or find something to do with the dough I don't use.  

It is such a luxury to throw something like this together in half an hour with stuff from my kitchen.  I've still got probably 10 pounds of All Purpose flour left from the 48 pounds my Son In Law left me when he moved.  Obviously it is still good.

I will. BTW, I cooked them in the toaster oven we have and it worked fine.

I must have a go at making biscuits as they're so like scones but yet different with the flakey layers thing. Re your leftovers, have you tried freezing them? I wouldn't eat a scone more than a couple of hours after it was made, but they come out of the freezer really well with a quick zap in the microwave.

That can be done. Biscuits are not as dense (or not supposed to be) as scones so they lose their fluffiness in the freezer. But like scones they are so easy to make I think fresh is better. I need to do a two scone recipe too. I've got cranberries on hand so it should be easy.

Yes, I can't say I frequently need the freezer, to be honest. I'm impressed by the discipline of your tiny recipes. I make a batch of ten cheese scones and we scoff them in one go with very little effort. (To be fair this is a whole lunch, but still. )
