Recipes: Sketch Burger’s Chef/Baker Phyllis Farquhar’s Biscuits

Sketch Burger’s Phyllis Farquhar: I really love to make biscuits, and people really seem to enjoy eating them. I’m not a big fan of traditional biscuits myself. So, when I was creating this recipe, I tried to come up with a good cross between a Parker roll and a traditional biscuit. Enjoy making (and eating!) Sketch’s biscuits.
