STARCH WEEK.

Although all of our meals are comprised of at least one starch, protein and vegetable, I haven't been creative with any of them in a long time. And so when it came to making our resolutions, I started with my cooking: it was time to branch out and get creative with the pieces of my meals. Up first, starch.Now, I've made biscuits only twice in my life––yesterday and today––so don't expect amazing recipes from me yet. I'm just reading a lot and discovering some techniques, hoping to get it down––to make a nice, flaky biscuit. But when I do, you can bet to hear some tips. Until then, I'd love to hear some of yours! Got any good biscuit recipes? Advice?This is the basic dough recipe I've been following:

2 cups unbleached AP flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

5 Tablespoons cold butter (chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup milk (or buttermilk)

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Massage in butter. Add milk, don't overwork dough, and let sit for 30 minutes before rolling out by hand, punching biscuits and baking at 450 for 12-14 minutes.Thoughts?Tonight, round two: homemade pasta!- Jesse. Join our EMAIL LIST!
