Baking Powder Biscuits

I know these are not cookies but when the best BF in the world tells you he is craving biscuits with gravy (He lived in Kentucky for a while), you make an exception (also good therapy for the OCD in me). I chilled the bowl and pastry blender due to the heat. All of the ingredients came together easily (no mixer needed). The pictures and directions on page 28/29 really helped guide the whole process. I used a ruler to figure out how high one inch is ( turns out to be the same as the first line on the top of my forefinger turned upside down) for the thickness of the patted down dough. I used a biscuit cutter for the rounds and placed them in the oven. It made a dozen, flaky delicious biscuits in about 24 minutes. They were also yummy with O Strawberry Jam.
