Today’s little cute kitten video comes from TikTok user tinyfoldmunchkin. This small kitten is really getting into their kneading zone. I applaud their efforts, but it looks to me like they are overworking the dough. With biscuits, you want a light hand; too much kneading will develop unwanted extra gluten and result in tough biscuits. Our friends at King Arthur Flour also recommend that when making biscuits you give the dough a bit of time in the ‘fridge to help relax the gluten strands that will have developed, resulting in a more tender biscuit. That and other tips can be found at the KAF website.
Dang, now I want biscuits.
That kitten is too cute. I am sure it is plotting something. My Cosmo kneads when he does his "I am hungry" dance in the morning. He wakes me up by walking around my body and stopping to knead by my head while purring as loudly as he can. He's a big black void so he can purr pretty loudly. Then he walks around to the other side to knead there. And if all that activity doesn't wake me up then he shoves his face into mine while purring. Usually a whisker goes up my nose and that will wake anyone up. I also want biscuits but am too lazy to make them. Oh well. Thanks for the big smile on my face, Martini.
