  Now is Bisquick like Nesquick, I wonder?  A sort
  of powder you make into a milky drink?   
  LOL!!! I am picturing making bisquick into a milky drink and coming up with homemade paste. No, Bisquick is flour, baking soda, and baking powder all mixed up ... just add water and bake. Biquick=quick  biscuits


  Your gravy description is right on the mark!

  American biscuits are flour, baking powder, salt, grease/butter/lard(southern) water or milk 
  or buttermilk (southern) basically ... you mix it up, roll it out, cut them, place them on a greased baking sheet and bake in the oven until the tops are golden brown. They taste a bit like your fluffy dumplings but not quite the same. Region in the US makes a big difference how you make your biscuits. I grew up popping open a Pillsbury container and baking the contents. I married a man from Kentucky who insisted on self-rising flour, lard, and buttermilk biscuits. My first ones were either hockey pucks or doughballs (which he threatened to use for fishing... but fishing bait from the kitchen is a whole 'nother story)

  Maybe we just NEED a page like OT to chat about stuff other than HP cuz HP has united us, and even my best friend and fellow HP fanatic and I talk about things not HP ... like the absolutely adorable Hagrid figurine from Hallmark, who have not let me down in that area.
