Did anyone notice it is cold outside?  Northland deep winter cold.  Throw water up in the air and watch it freeze before it hits the ground cold.  On days like this, I crave something that will warm me up and stick to my ribs for a while.  Today the urge will be satiated with a biscuit.  Not just any biscuit.  This bread must be rich, filling, light, sleek, and massive all at the same time.  My rich scone will also be simple and a meal unto itself.  This week’s bake is a sriracha-bacon biscuit with pork cracklins.  A simple recipe to prepare that will reward your spirit and taste buds.

2 C. self-rising flour
