1. How do you insert images into a post without using photobucket? I tried using flicker and it did not work. The only thing that worked is photobucket and apparently I can't use that any longer.

2. Is there a British version of an American Biscuit and what is it called? Note the American version of a British Biscuit is called a cookie and the reason we call it a cookie, is well, because our biscuit isn't a cookie.

I was pondering this while watching the Great British Bake-Off...in which they were doing savory biscuits and I thought, I don't like those..then realized their idea of a biscuit is not what I'm thinking of at all.

I have a craving for bread, but can't eat bread...I blame the Great British Bake-Off. Going to try an almond flax roll.

A biscuit shouldn't have bubbles in the center. It should be flaky. That's why you fold it so often and work with frozen (or at least, very cold) butter.

I agree. But I have been served biscuits made as Shadowkat describes, mostly at restaurants.

Hence the reason that I didn't like them, I think? Can't have them now of course, although the gluten-free version is...well...like a rock. So not recommended.

Pillsbury's often came out with the bubbles. There's a lesson in there somewhere...about home-made vs. non-home made?
