Just mix a cup of flour with a fourth cup of shortening. Mix well and add sweet milk or buttermilk until the dough is easy to roll out. Bake on the center oven rack at 450 degrees F. We use a medium biscuit cutter. Larger biscuits should cook at around 400 degrees. That syrup looks tasty too!Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09187924454780490386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185688415232400592.post-65037673183476059482009-12-29T08:47:21.846-08:002009-12-29T08:47:21.846-08:00I love the top photo, but does your camera have a ...I love the top photo, but does your camera have a timer? You need to get in there next time. Or maybe teach Duncan how to shoot. You should send that to Walmart, have it printed up, framed and put on the table. <br /><br />Now thats way to much cooking, you could skip the okra, brussell sprouts and broccoli and I wouldnt notice. I love deviled eggs, but they have to have a bit of mustard. People down here dont put mustard in their deviled eggs. Butter beans are great also with some corn bread. <br /><br />I have made some of those biscuit chips. Put some sausage gravy over them and you never notice. <br /><br />I hope you guys have a great New Year and get some good news from the doc for Mama.Jim Klenkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13663882561325002445noreply@blogger.com
