Why did the biscuit get the promotion?

It had what it takes to rise to the occasion.

Did You Know?

"Rise to the occasion" means to handle a challenge well, and biscuits literally rise when baking — double meaning perfection! Biscuits rise thanks to leavening agents like baking powder or baking soda, which create carbon dioxide bubbles in the dough. The American South has over 100 regional biscuit variations, from buttermilk to angel biscuits.
