Easy Fork Biscuits
While fork biscuits might not be as popular as their drop biscuit cousins, they are just as delicious. For those not in the know, fork biscuits are made by fork-pressing a dough onto a baking sheet. This results in a biscuit that is flakier and lighter than a drop biscuit. And, because there is no need to worry about shaping perfect rounds, fork biscuits are also much easier to make. Not to mention, the fork marks give them a rustic charm that is hard to resist. So the next time you are in the mood for some homemade biscuits, don’t be afraid to switch things up and give fork biscuits a try.
