"Biscuits make one think of farmhouse kitchens, enormous country breakfasts, and hot soups and stews, fare for the working man. They're unbelievably easy to make, bake in minutes and, if we slow our lives down enough to enjoy them with a leisurely breakfast, savory supper, or cup of afternoon tea, we'll be carrying on a tradition worth keeping...."
