The Biscuit Adventure


It's been a slow few days, filled with school, school, school, and more school so I haven't had much to post. But, last night I decided to embark on an incredible journey. I made biscuits. Gluten and lactose free biscuits. The recipe was basically the wheat free baking mix, sea salt, honey, and some milk. Okay, I know what you're thinking no wheat + no milk + no sugar = no flavor, but that's where you're wrong. It has almost no flavor. But, with my secret family recipe that I found on the outside of the baking mix box, I knew it would be a success! Or did I? Now you can watch the Great Biscuit Adventure with details and pictures and all of that stuff.

Okay, so this is me with the baking mix. You can just go on to the next one cuz my hair's a mess and I'm wearing a million year-old t-shirt, so just keep scrolling down....

Okay so I started out making a mess, like always. The bag blew up when I opened it, seriously.

Yes, my ipod was the victim of the flour explosion.

Lactose Free Milk. Okay, I just want to let you know that I didn't make these biscuits gluten free and lactose free just because I felt like it, I'm alergic to wheat and I'm lactose intolerant, I'm alergic to some other things but they're not the sort of things you put in biscuits. Well, unless you've ever had cantaloupe flavored biscuits before...

I decided to be a little rebellious with the recipe. It said I had to put yogurt in there. Bleh! Sorry to all you yogurt lovers out there! I put in some extra milk instead. I put in an egg in there too. I also decided to put some lactose free butter in there, to make it taste better.

Okay so, no one laugh at me, but I just found out that the thing on top of the honey is a lid that you cut open and not a gnome's hat. Shows you how smart I am. LOL

They're done!!!!

Yes, I know, they look like cookies, but they sure don't taste like cookies. I don't have a biscuit cutter. If you have one, leave a comment saying that you have one. If no one has a biscuit cutter, I won't feel so bad about it...:)


So yeah, they tasted pretty good if you put some honey on it. So this concludes The Great Biscuit Adventure. Hope you enjoyed it! I'll see you all whenever I see you, I guess. :D
