Pleased with my biscuit mechanics, using the Grandma two hands for everything model. Now to look into de-hydrogenated fats, like old school lard from a local farmer. Much healthier actually! But more expensive, too, but that's fine, once the learning curve is over, I won't be making as much as often. In Portland, local farm products readily available at Farmer's Markets, even at a few small outlets.
Onward!
