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!
