  • Simply amazing

    This show is simply amazing. The chemistry between the hosts, the Q&A, the guests, all of it. It feels like how the Great British Baking Show feels, comforting, warming, and leaves you with wanting more. I guess that’s go a good chocolate chip cookie also leaves you, and thanks to this podcast I now have a better recipe for one.

    I can’t wait for this show to come back and will savor every moment of it.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

History in the Baking: Talking Biscuits with Deb Freeman
Q: If my goal is a flaky, layered, classic buttermilk biscuit, I'm wondering three things about butter: do you have a specific brand you recommend? Should I refrigerate or freeze the butter before cutting? What's the best way to cut the butter?
Any good brand of American style butter will work, and it's suggested to keep ingredients cold to ensure proper layering for a flaky biscuit.
History in the Baking: Talking Biscuits with Deb Freeman
Q: What flour is best used for biscuits?
The best flour for biscuits is a lower protein flour, such as a biscuit flour blend, which helps in creating tender and fluffy biscuits.
