OK, I love baking. I do. but it seems to have gotten out of hand lately. It started with that big order for my mom, which should be completed tomorrow. But biscuits worked their way in there. We had some buttermilk left over from another recipe and we hate to waste things, so we decided I should try buttermilk biscuits. I have only made biscuits once and they were not good! My grandmother always made good biscuits, but i don't know, they scared me a little. So, I made them and they were good! We froze them and had biscuits to pull out for breakfast. So we ate them all and my penny, pinching husband decided I should make more because they cost way less than the bagels or other breakfast breads we usually buy. So today I made 40+ buttermilk biscuits! They are really quick and easy to make. The trick is to not roll them out or work the dough too much. But, really, 40?!
Not to mention the 90+ sugar cookies I baked yesterday afternoon! Already have 75 frozen. I have already made Christmas trees, which i will post pictures of today. But today I will be working on holly leaves (excited about these) and stockings. I really am pleased with how my trees turned out.
I had grand plans of making turkey and acorn cookies, but that, I think, would drive me to insanity. This week for Thanksgiving I am making a pumpkin cheesecake, an apple and pear crisp, and yeast rolls. I will post about these as soon as I can.
I wonder if after Christmas I will ever want to bake again : ).
P.S. Check out the biscuit pictures. Do they look different? New (to me) camera! So much better!
