Martha Stewart Holbrook “ROCKS” the Gem City Forum with tempting Southern Biscuit Speech

I wish I could say I was more mature! Seriously, Martha Holbrook made me very hungry speaking about the intricacies of biscuit making.. Not just any biscuits, but SOUTHERN NATIVE STYLE biscuits. If you ever attend a meeting such as we had last night and you had the least tinge of hunger going in, I promise, after listening to Mrs. Holbrook describe these southern delicacies you would be on your knees begging biscuits! And drooling at the same time! Martha has a passion for this food which has been passed down from 3 generations of her family. She told us about her grandmother making these fat free (yeah sure) love biscuits and how she used lard in the mix! Oh, she said, “why you can make biscuits and gravy, ham & egg biscuits, cheese biscuits and a multitude of other kinds of biscuits with your favorite toppings!” Martha told us the deep and shrouded family secret of a great biscuit.. and it all had to do with the “cutting” technique. She explained that unlike a cookie cutter, where one presses the cutter down into the dough and turns it in a circular motion, that the secret to a great biscuit is to push the cutter down into the dough and bring it STRAIGHT UP without turning it.  She went on to tell us that with biscuit dough, if you turn the cutter, you seal the sides and therefore, the biscuit will not “rise” .  Mrs. Holbrook gave a great speech complete with a contagious smile and biscuit PHOTOS, and don’t let me forget to mention that she gave all the attendees a sheet with her favorite biscuit receipe! (do you really think she’d give us her family secret biscuit recipe?) Yes, this lady is an angel and I’m sure the recipe is authentic! Hmmm, what’s that strange sound.. it seems eerily familiar to the rumble I heard in my tummy last night at Toastmasters!  Martha!! ?? Where are you?
