"THE ORIGINAL BAKEWELL CREAM^® BISCUITS" RECIPE

Maine biscuit bakers and cooks have known for many years that the fluffiest, tastiest, BEST BISCUITS come from the recipe off the back of The Original Bakewell Cream^® can. Bakewell Cream, a "NO FAIL" leavener created and made in Maine over 60 years ago by Byron H. Smith and a staple of New England baking ever since, is a mixture of sodium pyrophosphate and redried corn starch. Unlike most chemical leaveners on the market today, it includes no aluminum, no additives, no artificial color or chemical dyes, so Bakewell Cream baked goods just plain taste better.
Follow this easy to make biscuit recipe exactly, and within minutes you'll be buttering and enjoying a fluffy, light, high-rising biscuit -- the Made in Maine and New England traditional way...!
