Today's Cultural Ideal of Women. In the Women, Sport and Film course, we examined the changing cultural ideal of the woman. Throughout the course, there was an important relation between being female and feminine dress.
Biscuit Recipe: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs (use pastry blender, two knives, or fingertips). Add the milk and slightly beaten egg and stir until just combined.
A little bit of kneading (in my recipe this takes the form of patting and folding the dough a prescribed number of times, in order to establish some consistency) yields biscuits with the best rise and overall texture. A higher baking temperature yields a more golden, crunchy browned crust with a moist interior.
