biscuits.

Rob had the inspired suggestion to make Cheddar Cheese Biscuits from Grandma's cookbook for dinner tonight.

2 cups flour
1 Tbsp. sugar
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. baking soda
6 Tbsp. chilled unsalted butter, cut into chunks
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar
1 cup cold buttermilk

Combine dry ingredients; cut in butter. Mix in cheese. Stir in enough buttermilk to bind dough. Turn onto floured surface and knead until combined. Pat out to 1/4-inch thickness. Using biscuit cutter, cut into 3-inch rounds. Transfer to ungreased cookie sheet. Brush with an egg wash (egg mixed with 1 Tbsp. milk); sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake in 400-degree oven for 18 minutes.

Oooooh, I'm a HUGE biscuit fan. A tall cup of Kool-Aid and a few biscuits and I'm done! I'll have to try these.

I simply cannot imagine a couple of non-Southerners knowing the first damn thing about cooking biscuits. But gotta tell you, these sound and look mighty tasty...
