A Southern Biscuit and Dinner Roll Taste-Off with Nora Ephron
Nora Ephron helped us taste test three kinds of frozen biscuits. Which one did we like the best?Has Anyone Had Sister Schubert's Rolls or Marshall's Biscuits?
God bless my friend John T. Edge for bringing to light the fact that serious eaters in the South often serve frozen biscuits to their families and guests. We've raved about the upscale frozen biscuit maker, Callie's, but I have to admit that I did not know about Sister Schubert's yeast dinner rolls or Marshall's biscuits before John T.'s story. My guess is I've been served them many times and didn't even know it. What about my fellow serious eaters? Have you bought or been served Sister Sadie's or Marshall's? Are they seriously delicious?

Photograph from lisibo on Flickr Telegraph reports the results of a survey to find the UK's top ten favorite dunking biscuits, the leader being the chocolate digestive. Compared to un-coated biscuits, the chocolate digestive's chocolate shell protects the biscuit from becoming soggy too quickly. Physicist Dr. Len Fisher of Bristol University, who tested for the breaking point of the biscuits, offers this advice for successful biscuit dunking: The best strategy is a flat-on approach, biscuit-side down to minimise chocolate bleed into your tea or coffee and to maintain the chocolate layer as a crack-stopper. [...] The biscuit—held as you would a penny—should be removed in a smooth fluid motion with the dunked half swivelled, so that it is supported by...Is Making Biscuits From A Mix Any Easier Than Making From Scratch?
With all the intense preparation needed for Thanksgiving dinners, a baking mix or sauce mix here and there isn't going to make or break the authenticity of your meal. The key is to use mixes that actually make life easier, rather than ones that complicate your free time. While I may not be preparing a whole meal for the holidays, the least I can do is bring a side dish, or perhaps, a bag of fresh buttermilk biscuits. So when Ed Levine handed me a pack of Organic Southern Buttermilk Biscuit Mix ($10.50 at Williams-Sonoma, at stores only) to try at home, I happily obliged and got to work. The tools necessary: the mix, a stick of unsalted butter,...Blogwatch: Biscuits and Gravy, Always a Classic
Vanessa of What Geeks Eat warms the cool fall air in Wisconsin with one of the hardiest breakfast foods out there, biscuits and gravy. This savory dish always reminds me of long road trips and an early morning breakfast at a random truck stop off the highway. It also reminds me of home, and eating at the Denver Diner. Oh, how I crave the succulent buttermilk biscuits and spicy sausage gravy. Vanessa posted her recipe, but for the vegetarians out there, you can easily substitute a pack of ground veggie sausage and add a dash of cooking oil to make it richer....The Best Chocolate Biscuit Ever: Fortnum & Mason's Chocolossus Biscuits
I don't like most chocolate cookies. They're confusing: unless they're absolutely loaded with chocolate, they don't taste much like chocolate at all; on the other hand, they don't quite taste like cookie, either. Chocolate chippers, fine. Oreos, fine, because the filling saves them. The typical chocolate cookie, though, doesn't do much for me. But chocolate biscuits are another story. Say what you will about the British and their food, our friends across the pond are very good at dipping things in chocolate. And Fortnum & Mason's Chocolossus Biscuits are no exception. In fact, they may be the tastiest chocolate biscuits I've ever eaten....Snapshots from Chile: Negrita Biscuits
From April 13 to 19, I traveled around Chile with two other American food journalists on a culinary media trip. Here's another snapshot from that week. —Robyn Lee While I was delayed at Newark Airport on my way to Chile (curse American Airlines...curse), I killed some time by calling my friend Diana and asking what she'd like for me to bring back for her and her Chilean boyfriend, Ian. "Negritas! Get Negritas! They're really good!" "Get a what?" "It's a type of biscuit. Ian's mom just brought a few bags back from Chile. ...And we ate a bag." I wrote down the name in my notebook and made it my major goal of the trip to return back to America...Kraft Reformulates Oreos for Chinese Palates
In order to gain more customers in China, Kraft reformulated their Oreo in different ways, including lowering the sugar content of the round sandwich cookies and making a new Oreo snack in the form of wafer sticks, now the best-selling biscuit in China....Dante's Tea Break
Graphic designer and illustrator Jamie Wieck has depicted Dante's descent into hell through the power of...biscuits! Start with a rich tea biscuit, whip your way through a party ring or two, and don't forget the custard creams. When you get to the iced gems, you know you're screwed. The poster is available for £119.99, although with the same amount of money you could also buy yourself a truckload of biscuits. Decisions, decisions...
