Time for a light-hearted blog, I say... How about another recipe?
I baked these biscuits for my last birthday. They are fun and easy to make and taste as good as they look. So, whether they are a guilty pleasure or a delicious gift (think cellophane and ribbon), you know you won't be able to resist...
Honey’s Bumblebee Biscuits

2) Gradually add beaten egg to creamed mixture, beating well after each addition
