I have no idea why, but for some reason I just can't get a scratch biscuit recipe I like.
Though my last effort was undermined by a (I shit you not) 15 year old box of baking powder and a 10 year old can of cream of tartar. So I'm thinking maybe take another shot at that one. That baking powder has somehow survived 4 moves.
The problem is that I don't bake, my wife does. And ordinarily if I DO back, there's yeast involved so even shitty baking powder will rise with the good yeast I have for pizza dough.
But this didn't have any yeast in it and the baking powder was clearly dead. The cream of tartar is there as something of a catalyst as well and was almost certainly shot as well. So yeah...things didn't work out.
Think I'm gonna take another stab at it with fresh ingredients. Man, if I ever find a way to duplicate Hardees biscuits, Imma get REAL fat.
