At least he has positive self regard, and a handy robot overlord as a segment announcer.

They’re so simple to make, and have such a small number of ingredients, many of us tend to over-think the process. This can lead to disastrous, or at least, not so great results.

My mother-in-law has been making biscuits for about 60 years, and I decided to film her one morning as she was preparing to do her thing. As a retired school cook from Boone County WV, she’s probably made in excess of eleventy twelve bazillion biscuits, so she’s something of an expert on the subject. If you can forgive the telephone call in the middle of the episode, you may pick up a thing or two. The recipe that she uses is below.

Boone County Biscuits

2 C Self-Rising flour (preferably Hudson Cream brand)
2 Tbsp Canola Oil
About 1 C Buttermilk

Supplies:

10-inch Cast Iron Skillet

Makes 6-8 biscuits, depending on the size of the cutter.

I spent about an hour today putting together my first podcast episode. I apologize for how rough this is, but I figured that, since this blog is called the Smug Baldy Speaks, and I had always planned to put some podcasting together, I should actually get started. So think of this as an effort to follow through on a promise. A promise to myself.

After all, it’s all about me anyway, isn’t it?

The is the first episode of The Smug Baldy Speaks. Here, I talk very briefly about evolution as theory and fact. I also give a quick website recommendation for one of my favorites: SEB.

I hope to do this on a regular basis, and I promise that if I keep podcasting, I WILL get better at it.

Take a listen, and OBEY.
