I've always used vinegar to acidify my milk. I wonder now if using lemon juice might add a little extra flavor?

I sometimes use vinegar. Honestly I think it’s such a small amount you won’t notice the flavor.

Love my dutch ovens. Have 4 or 5 (8 qt to maybe 20 qts in size) used to do bread in them. Some good chili might have been made also.

Making me want to drag cast iron out. Dont use it much any more due to weight hurting wrists now. Have some great cast iron pie pans i would make chicken pot pies 🥧 in. I need to make a post about cast iron. I have a chapter in a book ive been working on for a decade already done on cast iron and care and feeding of same.

Bad cedar! Lol im gluten free and want those biscuits so bad. Thats seriously old school with lard. Ive done same with frozen butter grated in the past. Also roled thin and folded with very thin layer butter on it before folding ro make a flaky biscuit. Never got it right oft4n as its easy to overwork dough doing that

Sorry! lol I promised a friend I'd make a video of how I make biscuits since she has struggled with them.

The recipe looks fantastic. Someday we will get an oven and try it out.

Well, I've done these in a dutch oven over coals, too, but that's a whole different video.

A bit of butter and honey or conversely sausage gravy and you are all set.

I don't recall ever baking anything in my life, Maybe I should start.

No wish to detract from the post, but I am reminded of when my mom got started on her sour dough hobby at around 1960. She did it for 4-5 years, It was wonderful for the whole family. Mom said she learned sour dough from a casual acquaintance. The woman teaching her was very eager and effusive about sharing sour dough secrets. Mom said the lady remarked, "And you know, Sally, when you knead that dough it gets your fingernails so clean." Mom said she forced a smile to be polite and almost decided to forego the whole sour dough thing. But she didn't. So fortunate for us. Dad and us kinds never got tired of sour dough "everything". I noticed mom never kneaded it more than she had to. You too. :)

Bread gets kneaded, and the fingernail thing is why I’m scrubbing my nails every time I come in from the garden, and washing my hands constantly while I’m preparing food (in addition to keeping short nails) because food handling should be as clean as you can manage it!

Yes, Ma'am. My oldest daughter got her PhD in food science. Her thesis was food safety in small meat processing plants. But she still hasn't convinced me to stay away from raw oysters.
