Spanish Version Bellow
Today is Tuesday, and despite an old Spanish adage that on this day of the week “don't get married, don't get on board” (in Spanish this phrase has a certain internal rhyme), it was precisely today that I went out to make some payments that I had pending. In addition, I was able to update an account I had with taxes. I guess it was a day of paying for things, but I'm glad I had the resources to pay.
In all other senses, my life goes by without many changes compared to usual. As you can see, I tend to lead #life as calmly as I can, although I admit that taxes always get on my nerves (personal laugh). Anyway, I'd better go on to share about an Ephemeris of #History that a friend told me about today.
It's Buttermilk Biscuit Day

It's a celebration of #food, and it's something my friend learned from currently living in the southern United States. He is part of the Venezuelan Diaspora, that mass of approximately 8 million people who left the country in recent years. Considering that our national population did not reach 40 million, you can imagine how noticeable it is when just over 20% suddenly leaves.
Let's get back to the matter of this #southerncookie. I was surprised when the friend told me a little, and I looked for some references to learn more about this preparation. It is very similar to making bread, but it does not contain yeast, #buttermilk is added, and it has a characteristic flavor. According to records, the flavor is buttery, flaky, and maybe a little spicy. This last quality in the description surprised me a little, but I imagine it is a question of recipes.

This dish seems to have been born from a modification of British #cookie recipes, which was made in the southern United States during the 19th century. These #Biscuits enjoyed greater popularity and expanded during the time of the Civil War.
While I was reading about your recipe, I thought that a food blogger's point was right that it can be likened to a highly firm, unleavened #bread. These qualities make it more like a cookie than bread. But the version that has buttermilk, the liquid that remains after whipping the butter from the cream, has the peculiarity that it takes advantage of the reaction of this whey with baking soda (or baking powder according to the regional recipe). And it is this reaction that provides the flaky texture that characterizes it, plus it turns out to have a softer texture than other Biscuits.

This product seems to be quite popular even today. Either to consume it as part of breakfast, or for a mid-morning Brunch, even for a snack at other times of the day. In addition, it has the advantage that its flavor and texture combines with almost all types of additions that you can think of as part of a bread-based dish.
I've never tried it, but I couldn't resist asking the colleague about the flavor and texture. I guess with the recipe he shared, he may one day encourage me to try it. Although I'm not confident enough in my cooking skills to guarantee they will turn out completely right, I hope they are at least edible (personal smile).
Well, I'm saying goodbye. Wishing you that you are well, wherever you are, that you eat well, and that we can read each other another time.

Hoy es martes, y a pesar de un viejo adagio español de que en este día de la semana “ni te cases, ni te embarques”, fue hoy justamente que salí a hacer unos pagos que tenía pendiente. Además de que pude poner al día una cuenta que tenía con los impuestos. Supongo que fue un día de pagar cosas, pero me alegra que tenía los recursos para poder pagar.
En caso todos los demás sentidos, mi #vida transcurre sin muchos cambios con respecto a lo usual. Tal como vez, suelo llevar la vida con la mayor calma que puedo, aunque admito que los impuestos siempre me ponen los nervios de punta (risa personal). En fin, mejor pasaré a compartir sobre una Efemérides de la #Historia que me comentó un amigo hoy.
Es el Día del Buttermilk Biscuit.

Es una celebración de #comida, y es algo que mi amigo aprendió por estar viviendo en la actualidad en el sur de Estados Unidos. Él es parte de la Diáspora Venezolana, esa masa de aproximadamente 8 millones de personas que se fueron del país en años recientes. Partiendo de que nuestra población nacional no llegaba a los 40 millones, ya te puedes imaginar cuánto se nota cuando se va de pronto poco más del 20%.
Regresemos al asunto de esta #galleta sureña. Me sorprendí cuando el amigo me contaba un poco, y busqué algunas referencias para saber más de esta preparación. Se parece mucho a hacer pan, pero no lleva levadura, se le agrega suero de leche, y tiene un sabor característico. Según los registros, el sabor es mantecoso, hojaldrado, y puede que un poquito picante. Esta última cualidad en la descripción me sorprendió un poco, pero me imagino que sea cuestión de recetas.

Este platillo parece que nació a partir de una modificación de recetas de galletas británicas, que se realizó en el sur de Estados Unidos durante el siglo XIX. Estas #Biscuit gozaron de mayor popularidad y se expandieron durante el tiempo de la Guerra de Secesión.
Mientras leía acerca de su receta, pensé que tenía razón el señalamiento de un bloguero de comida, sobre que se puede asemejar a un pan sin levadura y de alta dureza. Esas cualidades le hacen más parecido a una galleta que a un pan. Pero la versión que tiene suero de leche, líquido que queda después de batir la mantequilla de la nata, tiene la peculiaridad de que aprovecha la reacción de este suero con el bicarbonato de sodio (o polvo de hornear según la receta regional). Y es esta reacción la que brinda la textura hojaldrada que le caracteriza, además de que resulta ser de una textura más suave que otras Biscuit.

Este producto parece que es bastante popular aún en la actualidad. Ya sea para consumirlo como parte del desayuno, o para un Brunch de media mañana, incluso para una merienda en otras horas del día. Además de que cuenta con la ventaja de que su sabor y textura combina con casi todo tipo de agregados que puedas pensar como parte de un plato basado en pan.
Nunca lo he probado, pero no me pude resistir a preguntar al colega sobre el sabor y textura. Supongo que con la receta que compartió, puede que algún día me anime a ponerla a prueba. Aunque no confío tanto en mis habilidades de cocina como para garantizar que me queden del todo bien, espero que al menos sean comestibles (sonrisa personal).
Bien, ya me despido. Deseándote que tú estés bien, en donde sea que estés, que comas bien, y que nos podamos leer en otra oportunidad.

It looks pretty yummy. Don't know the actual taste though!
Thanks for sharing about these biscuits.
What's the reason for the Venezuelan diaspora? Economic crisis?
Are they doing okay in the foreign lands?

!Gif Thanks for comment.
I don't know much about these cookies, but since the recipe was available, I may try to make them at home at some point.
The Diaspora thing is for various reasons. The main thing would be an economic crisis, with the worst hyper-inflation in our history as a country (almost 200 years). Followed with the idea of establishing a socialist economic model that was very poorly planned and worse executed. Massive expropriations that bankrupted companies, ruined agricultural and manufacturing farms, and other things.
This mess increased unemployment and dissatisfaction, leading to massive protests. These protests against the government and its policy errors were repressed with state forces, and we had several hundred deaths of protesting citizens at the hands of police and military. The situation was so serious that we now have an investigation by the International Criminal Court into these executions underway.
Seeing that the economy (and our national model) was heading towards disaster, without the government caring about fixing it, and seeing that it could not be changed no matter how much negotiating or protesting, then the only survival option for many people was to leave to look for how to survive somewhere else.
It's not an easy thing. Being a migrant anywhere in the world is hard in its own way, and being a poor migrant is a nightmare in too many places.
Sorry if the answer was very long.
