So I think I'm gonna buy Bisquick, Twinkies, Twizzlers, if they are strawberry, a can of pumpkin, and maybe the onions / pickles.

Dang it.. I would gladly send you all that and a few cans of pumpkin pie filling for:

The store that used to carry it locally closed.

Aww @Freddyt I'd prolly do that for you, though a quick scout at their website leads me to believe it would prolly not cost much more for you to order it yourself. £25 delivery to US

*Delivery to US – Order up to $800 Fortnum’s gifts without incurring additional duty costs.

I know if anyone were to send me stuff from USA I'd get hit with large customs charges so as it not be worth it.

I love fortnums- but you can almost certainly find as good a jasmine tea from a Chinese supermarket or delivery service. If you like fragrant and light teas can I also suggest looking at Jeju teas?

Unfortunately, I'm in Canada (the biggest country in america) I'm in the part where exchange rate suck right now 1 dollar Canadian will buy you .78 cents US or about .57 pounds sterling.

Holt Renfrew used to import it around Christmas and then within a week of Christmas it went on sale half off. Then it was time to load up on tea and biscuits.

I have found several other brands like Murchies and Taylors, but there is no tea like tea from England. Guess its the Lancaster in me.....

Here's the biscuit recipe I use. It's very versatile. You can add add whatever cheese you like or add diced jalapeno and a spicy cheese to add more flavor or to pair with chili's.

@LuckiLee think you forgot the link? :)

It wouldn't post.

2 Cups Bisquick
1/4 tsp. Garlic powder
4 Tablespoon cold butter
1 Cup cheddar cheese

Mix Bisquick with garlic powder. Add cold butter using a fork or pastry cutter. Add cheese and milk. Mix. It will be lumpy and sticky. Drop 1/4 C. portions of the dough on ungreased baking sheet or use parchment paper.

Bake @400F for 15-17 minutes.

For the top melt 2-4 Tablespoons butter with 1/2 tsp garlic salt and 1/4 tsp. dried parsley. Brush over the top of biscuits.

Enjoy!

Thanks :)

How much milk?
Guessing to paint the biscuits before they go in the oven?

@LuckiLee this recipe is taking me back to when I used to make biscuits as a kid. My mom always had Bisquick handy. My husband’s family never used it and he does most of the cooking around here so it’s not on hand. I think it is time to bring it back!

 

[LuckiLee]

Sorry...

3/4 Cup milk.

Brush with melted butter/garlic salt/parsley AFTER baking.

There's usually recipes on the box for different ideas and if you look online you'll find more.

Skywatcher, I could eat about 4 of the them right now. Glad there's none around. I make them in the winter, they go great with soups, stews and chilis. It's the "Red Lobster" recipe.
