Recipes? How do you make sure they are "good"? 

Or is this one of those things that most cooks just know how to do?
Do I just drop biscuit dough into the soup or stew? As I said in the
introduction, I'm still figuring out how to cook mundanely.

These sound like they could be very tasty though I'm not sure about
the texture.

Thanks.
