A Personal Note

“Howdy, I’m Ben! A few months ago, I stopped by an old roadside diner that served the best cheddar biscuits I’d ever tasted. But being on keto, I could only watch as my buddy devoured them, raving about how good they were. I left determined to recreate them—this time, keto-friendly. After a few test batches (and maybe too much taste-testing), I finally nailed it. Now, whenever I get a biscuit craving, I whip these up, knowing I’m not missing out on a thing!” – Benjamin Walker
