Michael Ruhlman's Biscuits--DAYUM!!!!

Holy crap people.  I spent a good part of my early twenties perfecting my biscuits.  Every time I make them people tell me they are the best they have ever had.  (Blush)  So I am loathe to try a new biscuit recipe, but I couldn't resist this one.

HOLY. CRAP.  Those are some tasty goddamn biscuits!  I went over with Hubs to my best friend's house to watch Game of Thrones last night.  BTW GoT fanes, have you seen this hysterical website?

Best friend is a pescatarian who will occasionally eat chicken breast, however I usually just cook a vegetarian meal for her, just to be safe.  I went to my old standby, Spanish tortilla ( referred to in a previous post).  I also made biscuits, because I had just read "Ratio" by Michael Ruhlman.  The croissant technique intrigued me and I find that it is best not to make biscuits for only two people unless I want to be forklifted out of the house.

I wish i had taken a picture, but suffice it to say they we very flaky.  And the flavor, although the recipe is spartan, is full and complex.  We ate them as a base to strawberry shortcake.  By the time the credits rolled, there was only the sound of spoons scraping bowls.  Long live the Starks! Long live Michael Ruhlman!
