The Delicious Biscuit Recipes cookbook by Charley Jackson is a cookie cookbook not a cookbook to bake delicious quick breads called biscuits. In the United Kingdom, biscuits are cookies hence the name of this cookbook. Sadly, the author is mistaken about American cookies as she writes in her introduction:"If you speak to an old Southerner grandma, she'll probably telly you that you need to use a specific kind of flour and not just the ordinary all-purpose type. She will also tell you that this should be paired up with eggs, sausages and trickled with honey or molasses."My southern grandma would have probably offered me a cold glass of lemonade, milk or iced tea not sausages or eggs to go with my cookies (biscuits).Be prepared to read the recipes using metric or use a scale to bake from as this cookbook offers both systems of measurement.Some of the recipes you will find in her cookbook include:Chocolate BiscuitsCinnamon Jam BiscuitsCoconut SlicesBiscottiYou will find color images demonstrating the recipes throughout her cookbook. You will also find an interactive table of contents.Recommend with caveats given.
