Another new treat has found its way to the Roediger House: tender sweet cinnamon biscuits adorned with an eggnog vanilla glaze. Inspired by what was once a much-loved offering from Bojangle's before they opted instead for the quite-inferior "Cinnamon Twists," these amazing sweet somethings had to be enjoyed as pairs...there was no stopping at just one. This was the evening sweet treat last Thursday, on a day when I had a lunch meeting and did not cook dinner.
Within the endeavor was good advice for biscuit-making that the recipe author credited to my own faithful guides and mentors from Cook's Illustrated. I suspect I'll have to dig that back out and use it for some future batch to go with a tasty breakfast or perhaps dinner sometime.
Late that Thursday afternoon, as the kitchen area remained in the mid-50s, I struck a match to the season's first fire, perhaps a fitting tribute to the Winter Solstice. This was Fire No. 88 since the kitchen addition was built. By 8:30 pm, it was a more endurable 64°F in that space, helped quite likely by the hot oven that baked up those amazing treats. I do love a wood-burning fire, but I prefer for it to be an added delight instead of a fundamental and basic need (as in: 8 days without heat downstairs). Still, to be able to work and function freely, fully focused on the joys of a new kitchen creation, was a salve for the stresses of the moment!
