Like your grandmother, my mom and all the old folks made it look so easy! But I'm having a heck of time. Just this morning I tried yet again to make biscuits. Trial and error I suppose. Found a 3 ingredient recipe on Pinterest: self rising flour, butter milk and butter (trying my best not to use the Crisco one recipe suggested). Switched to a White Lily Flour, made sure all ingredients were cold. Result: Better but I need your grandma's hands! Something happens after I put it altogether and try to get my dough right! Thanks so much for sharing though. I enjoyed the journey back with you!alittlewiser63https://www.blogger.com/profile/18420822051614055945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422970545881076478.post-83407635989534526732014-10-31T05:40:51.524-04:002014-10-31T05:40:51.524-04:00Oh, the memories of awakening Saturday Mornings to...Oh, the memories of awakening Saturday Mornings to the homemade biscuits, sausage patties & homemade syrup that my mother cooked!

My mom used the biscuit tubes from the store, but she also made "drop biscuits" - texture not as light, but very substantial! And I believe you are correct about the light and dark Karo syrup (which played a big role in my childhood).Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422970545881076478.post-63716622612078892422010-04-05T18:19:24.169-04:002010-04-05T18:19:24.169-04:00This to brought memories from my childhood to youn...This to brought memories from my childhood to young adult, but it was my mother making the biscuits and the recipe was the same but she used a jar or a can to cut hers out. And boy were they light and fluffy. <br /><br />I cannot also remember my older sister trying to make biscuits with my mother right there telling her what to do, and they still came out hard (not sure about the weapon but possible).<br /><br />My younger sister and I also did the recipe and they were pretty good and spoken from the mouth of mom.<br /><br />Thanks for the memory!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422970545881076478.post-64805172657965345882010-04-05T16:46:35.502-04:002010-04-05T16:46:35.502-04:00Homemade biscuits, yummy!

My ...Wow did this post bring back memories for me. My great-grandmother had a great "biscuit hand" as we called it. No measurements and just the basics (but being up North we didn't know from self-rising flour - so it was flour, salt and baking powder).<br /><br />Her trick: don't overmix the dough. She always said that if you wonder if you overmixed you probably did and this made for tough biscuits. Someone with a good biscuit hand knows when to stop before they even need to think about it.geneabloggershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15966231171113773545noreply@blogger.com
