Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Hi, my 6yr grandson & me made a batch of this super easy biscuit recipe. Turned out great and it was really yum. Oh! guess what? I added half cup of chocolate chips, it was super super yummy, that’s why it didn’t last. There’ll be some in everyone’s 2020 christmas stockings. Yey
Hi, just a question.
First of all, i know this isnt your recipe, as it’s happened a few times now with various recipes.. I find they fome out slightly bitter and salty. Kind of like an odd mixture of a baking powder/egg flavour.. It happens to my breads and biscuits whenever i dont add a specific flavour of any sort.
Just hope you can help me find where I’m going wrong!
Thanks 🙂
Are you using a teaspoon or an actual measuring tsp? A teaspoon you make coffee with can be almost 2 tsps
I want a delicate delicious biscuits❤⚡
