Big Biscuit

For this, my first posting to the family food blog, I am going to keep it very, very simple. A friend recently reminded me of something I invented in graduate school: the "big biscuit." It was born of puzzlement and necessity, as are all truly great inventions. I think it's especially appropriate for kids to try.

Recipe:
1. Follow the directions on the yellow Bisquick box for a single batch of biscuits.
2. Instead of making lots of regular sized biscuits, use all the dough and form a single, "big biscuit" in the middle of your cookie sheet.
3. Bake until slightly golden brown on top.


The fun of the "big biscuit" is in its preposterous size. It's easily eaten by breaking it by hand and adding butter and jam. Enjoy!
