I do not recommend this one. The two-bowl method just gives you more washing-up to do, and the baking soda is a weird addition: it gives the biscuits an unpleasant soapy taste, and doesn't improve the texture., approved=true, user_name=Jocelyn, hs_createdate=1702249869186, rating_new__1_5_=1, id=11175634731}, {comment_text=It was to rich for me.
