Hahaha, good one! As a baker I have the same question, Snooch. I’ve heard that phrase in the last few years, but that motion used to be called kneading. Kneading bread dough is a process of working warm, wet flour to develop gluten – long strings of protein that hold in pockets of air slow-released by the yeast and result in a chewy baked good. Biscuits (in US English, anyway) are made by cutting together cold (dry) butter and flour, and then at the end adding just enough liquid to make it stick into dough that can be cut/shaping into biscuits. The small bits of butter surrounded by flour contain water that evaporates in the oven, which together with quick chemical leavening, results in a flakey – not chewy – biscuit. These motions and end results are very different! (But I guess you could still theoretically have some nice sourdough every time you do that motion!)
OMC! This is classic Eben and Snooch. ROTFLMAOASTC!
And now I wonder what Snooch thinking smells like (and whether it’s even smellable by a non-feline)
S: “So I do this and Mom gives me biscuits?”
E: “Technically, she gives you milk, but…
S: “Biscuits are MILK?”
