  • Question
    Can I bake biscuits on the stove?
    Community Answer
    Yes. Use a heavy skillet with a lid, like Lodge makes. Heat the pan then turn down very low add biscuits, then put on hot lid. Takes a little getting used to, but it will make the best biscuits ever, nice and moist. Just take your time and do not overheat the pan or they will burn.

    Absolutely, just be sure to put flour around the rim of the cup so it doesn't stick to the dough.
  • Question
    What does it mean by: "cut in shortening until mixture resembles small peas"?
    Community Answer
    When you add the shortening, you will want to cut it into small pieces first. As you work the mixture, everything will start to clump together and turn crumbly. The crumbs will be about the size of small peas, and there will be little to no loose flour left.

    I presently don't have an oven, but there's a microwave and a toaster oven. Can I use either of these to bake bread and biscuits?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you can use the toaster oven for baking. The microwave will not give you good results at all.
