I'm going to go ahead and throw out an apology for the lack of posting. I'm on a critical care rotation and Jake is doing cardiology. They're both very demanding. I leave the house around 6:30am and I usually don't get home til about 10pm. Jake's schedule is very similar. There isn't much cooking going on these days. Look for a return to life at the end of this month when I get a break.

Biscuit vs Biscuit!


History:
We still had some buttermilk. I decided to have a biscuit off with myself. The one to the left is the Southern JG/TK from Sunday Biscuits. It has a bit more color, honestly I have not tasted yet. I ran out of buttermilk so this is 1/2 buttermilk, 1/2 whole milk. The one on the right is the PC clark made see Southern Cooking, but I used buttermilk this time. Again I have not tasted. I'll update later with a taste comparison, someone was suppose to come over this morning for a run and then we could have had a tasting. But she didn't. Below is the recipe for the right biscuit, dropped down to 12 instead of the one clark did for 40.

Biscuit [12]
477 grams AP
33.9 grams sugar
25.5 grams baking powder [yes I thought this was excessive as well]
6.3 grams salt
9 tbsp butter [little over 1 stick]
1 egg
3/4 cup of buttermilk [plus a splash more.... called for 216 mL]

See previous methods... bake 425 for 15 minutes.

Enjoy.

Clark's note:
I don't think Jake is coming back to this post (he bought God of War III), but we both thought the Thomas Keller recipe was better. Everyone else at school liked the Professional Chef biscuits better. They were definitely sweeter since they have sugar in them. That was actually the very reason Jake and I liked the TK biscuits better. Both were absolutely delicious. We just liked the more savory ones better.
