One of the first recipes we try whether in grade 8 or grade 12 -is the biscuit. Part of the quickbread family, biscuits are easy and cheap to make. Once you have the technique down you can modify the recipe by adding cheese, herbs, spices or change it up and use cinnamon and sugar.

2. sift together dry ingredients.
