a new form of spam , someone sent me this today :confused:

buttermilk biscuits
Serve warm with coup, chicken, scrambled eggs, fried breakfast etc...

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup vegetable shortening, chilled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 cup buttermilk

In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients together with a fork. Cut in the shortening using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center and add buttermilk. Quickly fold dry ingredients into buttermilk with your hands until a sticky dough forms.
Turn dough out onto floured surface. Gently fold the dough over itself 3 or 4 times to create layers. Roll dough out to 3/4-inch thick. Cut with a 3-inch biscuit cutter. Transfer dough rounds to a sheet pan. Gather scraps and repeat. Make a dimple in the center to help the top rise evenly. Brush with butter. Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 400 degree oven until golden brown.

That's probably 400F? Or is that crazy hot?

Edit: 400F is just over 200C which is a fairly hot oven but reasonable enough...

Why don't you ask that new micro student to help you? Baking biscuits together is a great way to get to know someone, and you won't even be bothered by any language difficulties - everybody understands the language of cookies!
