This Week's Bread: Angel Biscuits
After 4 weeks and 24 cinnamon rolls later, I decided I needed a nice salty southern style biscuit. So I made Angel Biscuits.
They're kind of wierd looking because I need exactly five biscuits, and do'nt want to waste dough, so they're square and folded over, just to use it all at the exact amounts I need.
I hate being so techy with my food, but being diabetic and needing to know EXACTLY what's going into wht makes for food wierdness.
