About this episode
The episode features hosts discussing the art of making biscuits with special guest Cheryl Day, focusing on a recipe inspired by Old Bay seasoning.
This month, Bake Club takes inspiration from a popular chain restaurant for our own take on a beautiful, fluffy and cheesy biscuit that is transformed with the help of Old Bay seasoning. Hosts Shilpa Uskokovic and Jesse Szewczyk make the case for why biscuits are a must for any occasion. “Anything bread can do…a biscuit can do better,” says Shilpa. Jesse and Shilpa tackle listener questions and baker and writer Cheryl Day , a biscuit guru who made them everyday for 22 years in her bakery, stops by the clubhouse. Cheryl’s advice for the best biscuit is simple. “I would say: practice, practice, practice … then, take notes.” We’d love to hear from you! Send your questions to BA Bake Club!
