Biscuit Amnesia

You know you bake a lot when you can't recall making the exact same recipe for the same guests just a few months apart.

On Saturday, we had a last minute impromptu family (and children's friends) dinner, and I was delighted to come across a hand-typed recipe card for baking powder biscuits thinking I could whip these up for dinner (and later, my blog).

DD, left, and DS, right, enjoy some biscuits with DS's friend Ben (who just got into medical school -- congrats Ben!)

So I snapped a couple of pictures before these were gobbled up, but when I sat down to write the post I realized I had made these for DD and her boyfriend, the "evacuees" we sheltered during Hurricane Irene in August.   I called them Drizzle Biscuits, because the storm in Brooklyn was just that.

But since these are quite good biscuits and can be made while entertaining a kitchen full of guests, wine glass in hand, I thought I'd post them again. I have a dozen or so recipes for biscuits, but I guess this one keeps calling my name because it has the highest fat content (and that's a good thing).  Too bad it doesn't make them unforgettable!

Check out the vintage handmade biscuit cozy (top picture) I purchased at a stoop sale a while back.  What a clever and ingenious way to showcase biscuits (and keep them warm at the same time).
