I’m in search of the perfect biscuit and I’m going to try this recipe. This could be biscuit nirvana, who knows? If you’re looking for something different, try my clover biscuits, rose muffins or rosewater cookies.

As for getting away from the crisco, there is a way. I use coconut oil for the most delicious biscuits ever! Any kind will do, Lou Ana is sold at Wal-Mart fairly cheaply, does not smell or taste like coconut. This is not the best coconut oil, but is far superior to shortening health-wise. Coconut oil hardens at about 75 degrees and lower to the consistency of shortening. I use virgin coconut oil (which DOES smell and taste like coconut)in my biscuits, but the biscuits taste very good and there is only a faint taste or smell of coconut there. At any rate, there IS an alternative to crisco!

I’m in rural Britain and I find that something called ‘Sainsbury’s Baking’ — that’s the entire name — a ’75% vegetable fat spread specially formulated for baking’ which contains both palm oil and rapeseed oil works a treat. (Rapeseed oil is very popular in Britain and, according to my dietician, is extremely healthy.)
I discovered quite by accident that after cutting the dough into rounds and placing on the baking sheet, I can let the dough set in a reasonably warm place for as long as two hours. If I do that, the biscuits rise some and come out even lighter than if I put them in to bake immediately after setting them on the baking sheet.
Brits love ‘American biscuits’. Oddly enough, I have yet to meet anyone who has heard of them, including people who have travelled to the US a number of times and otherwise know a lot about the country. Go figure.
