I stopped using my bread maker after I found some muffin-top
pans a couple of years ago. I think that biscuits are less
crumbly as compared to sliced bread because there are more
browned edges to hold things together.
I had been using Jane Conrad's recipe (which I made available
at http://www.gordy-k.homepage.com/Recipbun.htm ) until last
month, when I accidentally added more milk than the recipe
called for. I knew after mixing that it was too soupy, but
decided to bake them anyway. The results were *excellent*,
and are *repeatable*. The biscuits seem to be moister and
far less crumbly, fresh or frozen.
I normally doubled the recipe, so the 1/2 cup of milk
should have been 1 cup. With my "mistake", the milk for a
doubled recipe is 1+2/3 cup.
I don't think extra liquid will work in a bread maker
because it will probably make the loaf more prone to falling
after baking. This tip may work in some other recipes
though, and I intend to try it elsewhere.
The moral of the sorry is: if baked goods are too
crumbly, maybe more liquid is needed. Comments?
