PKK: Buttermilk Biscuits

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Princess Kaitlyn. She lived in a beautiful castle by an enchanted forest, a magical lake, and a fantastically fun playground.

One day as Princess Kaitlyn played with her friend Sookie the fox in the enchanted forest, they noticed a small stream of white water. Upon touching this stream, it was not light and thin like water, but silky smooth and creamy like milk. Curious as to where this stream led, Sookie and Princess Kaitlyn followed the stream deep into the enchanted forest.

After walking for what felt like forever (really just ten or fifteen minutes), Princess Kaitlyn and Sookie came upon a milkyfall. They started to rush towards the milkyfall, but stopped in their tracks when three cows stood in their path. The three cows shared their names (duiry, doiry and deiry) and told Princess Kaitlyn and Sookie that they protected the milkyfall so that no animal or person drank all the milk. (Granted, drinking all of the milk from the milking fall would give anyone a belly ache.)

Princess Kaitlyn asked the duiry if they could take a sip of milk from the milkyfall. Duiry nodded and two ice glasses made of frozen milk appeared instantly. Doiry instructed the pair to dip each glass into the milkyfall. Princess Kaitlyn and Sookie drank the deliciously creamy, rich milk. Deiry gave them permission to each take a glass home, but cautioned Princess Kaitlyn and Sookie that the ice glasses would melt shortly after leaving the enchanted forest, so they must either drink the milk or make something with it before it spilled on the ground.

Princess Kaitlyn and Sookie decided to make buttermilk biscuits with their special milk from the milky fall. They combined the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt) with some butter and buttermilk (milkyfall buttermilk of course!) to make their dough. They rolled out the dough and cut it into biscuit pieces.


Princess Kaitlyn put the biscuits in her oven and watched them slowly rise and turn golden on top.
When the biscuits were cool enough to handle, Princess Kaitlyn and Sookie added some strawberry preserves and had a wonderful snack along with a fresh glass of leftover milk from the milkyfall.
The end!
