Color Week – Orange
Tuesday is orange day. Sorry for everyone who was looking for a baking post. This blog is becoming multi-purpose. I just don’t think I could maintain multiple blogs. So this is going to be my cooking / baking / photography / kitchen renovations blog. Hope you enjoy the change in pace.
Today, the world was against me and color week. We got home late from work and it’s rainy and nasty out. So I couldn’t make it outside to take pictures. So I’m cheating for color week today. I took these pictures yesterday while I was out finding red things to take pictures of… Sorry for breaking the rules.
This is the a church down the street from us. We have quite a few churches in our neighborhood.
This is an orange house right near our place. It’s actually a huge house that is used as a daycare. It’s right across the street from a cute little park. I love all the brightly colored houses in our neighborhood.
Hopefully I can be a better color week-er tomorrow and get out and take some yellow pictures after work.

Looks like these turned out great! I’m surprised they didn’t call for brushing some egg on top of the biscuits before cooking, that might get that top a little crispier…I totally want to make some of these Saturday morning.
These look very good to me. I have a favorite biscuit recipe, but want to give these a try because of the buttermilk.
Have been following your blog for a while. Nice blog!
I agree Steph. Or maybe just melted butter to give it the color.
If you want to compare even more recipes from many of the popular sites, take a look at RecipeComparison.com. Just search for “buttermilk biscuits” and you’ll see all the ingredients nicely laid out in a table with a link to jump directly to each recipe.
I worked at a KFC in the mid-90s. I had privy to the ingredients lists and methods. The biscuits came frozen and had egg in the dough. We brushed the tops after baking with butter-flavored oil that is commonly used in the restaurant industry. I remember thinking that the egg was unusual; I hadn’t seen many biscuit recipes calling for egg, and I have been baking since I was 8.
kfc.com does not list eggs in their food allergy listing for the biscuits, just an fyi
I, too, worked at a KFC when I was a teenager. The biscuits were not frozen. It was a bag mix and we mixed it with a large tub of shortening. Then mixed, rolled, cut and baked. We topped with a “liquid butter” substance fresh from the oven. They may make them frozen now, but they didn’t in the early 90’s.
Oh, and there are NO eggs in the mix. Otherwise, it would be a cake, not a biscuit. That is common baking “science”.
