I have been so hungry for biscuits since I’ve worked to get my glucose down. Now my numbers are good and I can eat bread if I don’t over do it. So yesterday I made a pan of biscuits. It’s been so long since I last made biscuits, but I sifted out a bowl of flour, made a circle in the middle, put in a tablespoon of baking powder, added fourth a cup of cooking oil and a cup of milk. I put my fingers in and mixed it all together with the flour to make a thick dough. Then pinched off chunks of dough to roll out the biscuits, one at a time in my hands. I baked them about twenty minutes and they were done. I cut each biscuit open and added a pat of butter and a spoon of apricot preserves They were so good. After going without bread so long, I could have eaten every biscuit but I didn’t. I only ate two I’ll finish them in a few days and in a couple of months I’ll cook another pan full. How often do you make biscuits?

Those sound delicious! I used to make them all the time when the kids were home. Now, our eating habits have changed. Now you have me drooling and dying to make them again.

@DianneN Thank you, everything in moderation, but I will continue to go slow on the carbs.

I hadn’t made any since my glucose was too high, but now I can eat them occasionally. I have to be careful not to overdo it.

I've never made biscuits. In fact I never really learned how to bake breads or cakes although I have made cake from a box before, thats a no brainer, right?

Cooking is easy to learn if you’re interested. I cooked for my family but I cook very little now. It’s not my favorite thing.

I make biscuits the same way that you do. Except I put honey on mine. They are so good hot out of the oven. I divide the dough in half and make half one day and the other half the next day.

Most people roll the dough out and cut with a biscuit cutter , but I make my biscuits as my mother taught me. Not many people make biscuits as you and I do. I like honey with my buttered biscuits too.

@RubyHawk Biscuits are not popular here in Europe. I remember my grandmother preparing hand made pasta every day when my cousins and I stayed there in summer.

Often I'll be lazy and make bannock- whole wheat biscuit dough fried in a skillet.

I make cornbread like that sometimes, and sometimes I bake it in the oven.

@RubyHawk We grind our wheat into flour. When I am not using yeast to make something I use all wheat flour. I do this even when I make a cake.

@sallypup I like whole wheat flour too. It still has all the goodness in it.

Your biscuits look absolutely delicious, Ruby! I just started baking biscuits again, after staying away from a couple types of bread, for a long time. Now, my numbers are good, so I'm baking biscuits about twice a month!

@kobesbuddy I'll have to watch my numbers closely. I only get mine checked every six months so I have to be extra careful.

I would be afraid to bake them that often but if my sugar continues to stay low, I’ll make biscuits more often. I don’t want my sugar to go up again.

We call them scones here but enjoy them just as much as you and make them in much the same manner. I'm glad you're able to indulge again from time to time now.

I have never made cookies, which is strange to me, but if I want to do it, I can find it online. In fact, the oven is not our common household appliance. There is an oven in my home. I have owned it for nearly 10 years. I only used it twice

I haven't used my oven often since I haven't eaten bread, but I used to use it often.
