The Secret to These Golden, Crispy-Edged Biscuits Is a Pool of Melted Butter

This is a Food & Wine recipe for "butter swim" biscuits, which skip the rolling, folding, and cutting. You grate a little cold butter into a wet one-bowl dough, spread it into a baking dish of melted butter, and cut it into squares in the pan. The butter pooling around the dough gives crisp, deeply golden edges and soft, fluffy centers, and a spoonful of sugar balances the buttermilk tang and helps browning. It also covers freezing (up to three months), a whole-milk-plus-lemon-juice substitute for buttermilk, and test kitchen tips: chill the butter before grating, keep the buttermilk cold, and don't add flour to the intentionally sticky dough.

High-Protein, High-Fiber Smoothies to Fuel Your Day

The guide argues that the key to a satisfying smoothie is combining protein (20-30 grams for a meal) with fiber-rich ingredients (8-10 grams), healthy fat, and produce, since fruit and liquid alone won't keep you full. It provides a flexible formula for building smoothies—choose a protein source like Greek yogurt or protein powder, add 1-2 cups of fruit or vegetables, include concentrated fiber from seeds or oats, add healthy fat, and incorporate liquid—along with specific ingredient swaps and six recipe examples to show how the formula works in practice. The piece emphasizes that individual nutritional needs vary, so these targets are starting points rather than universal rules, and that pairing carbohydrates with protein, fiber, and fat creates a more balanced meal that sustains hunger longer.

Epicurious

Raised Waffles

This is a make-ahead waffle recipe from the Fannie Farmer Cookbook that uses yeast and an overnight rest to develop flavor and texture, with eggs and baking soda stirred in just before cooking to create waffles that are crisp outside and delicate within. The batter rises significantly overnight, so a large bowl is essential, and the finished batter keeps well in the refrigerator for several days.
