This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Topic: What is it about buttermilk biscuits that makes them so much better than regular?

	I don't get it. Buttermilk biscuits rise better and come out more fluffy and breadlike than biscuits just using milk. Here's my basic recipe. 2C flour 1/2t salt 1 stick cold butter 2T Crisco (cold) Now, if I'm using 1C milk I add 5t baking powder. If I'm using 1C buttermilk it's 1T baking powder and 1/4t baking soda. It doesn't seem like that big of a difference but it sure has a big difference in results. If you want the instructions: Sift together dry ingredients, cut in the shortening, add the liquid, mix with a spoon until incorporated. Pour dough out on a well floured counter and give it no more than 10 kneads, flatten into a 1/2 inch high circle, cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter. Bake at 425 in a convection oven for 12 minutes, 15 in a regular oven. -----signature----- There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.

	I just made buttermilk bicuits for the first time this morning. I used Alton Brown's recipe. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/southern-biscuits-recipe/index.html They were delicous...soft and flakey. Yum. I guess I am going to have to keep a supply of buttermilk around now. -----signature----- No sense being pessimistic.... It wouldn't work anyway.

Soak chicken in it overnight for YUMMIE fried chicken. Amazing stuff -----signature----- There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
