The biscuit. Can we really continue to find new ways to make biscuits? Can we improve upon perfection? May I be so bold as to say....Yes.

Notes
- make sure the measuring cup containing water is not metal when you put it into the microwave.
- the number of biscuits this recipe makes is dependent on how large or small you'd like your biscuits to be
- this recipe...
- used Wyoming Heritage Grains - Rouge De Bordeaux flour
- is used in an arid climate and at roughly 4300 feet of elevation which may impact the hydration and baking time of the biscuits.
- Because these are dairy-free, the biscuits might not be as fluffy as you'd expect. However, these are not dense murder weapons by any means! If properly proofed, they can also be light and fluffy.
- These biscuits are best eaten no later than three days after baking. I highly recommend throwing them in a toaster or microwave for a bit after the first 24 to fluff them up again.
