They were delicious especially with a little apple butter. I don't think mine looked as pretty as yours in the picture but thet were still good.

I've never used self rising flour, but I think it's quite common in the South. And they probably made biscuits a lot more than we do, so the recipe was in their heads. <BR/><BR/>I bake bread like that all winter, because we're 25 miles from the grocery store and can't just run into town for a loaf every time we need it. By about the third loaf I bake, I remember the recipe without looking for the rest of the season...then promptly forget it once I get back in WA and near a grocery store.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-49583860601645443352008-10-03T21:07:00.000-07:002008-10-03T21:07:00.000-07:00Granny - My Mom and Dad make biscuits without a re...Granny - My Mom and Dad make biscuits without a recipe as well, and dangit!, they turn out perfect every single time! I don't understand it. Yes, Jerry is one of my employees, and he saw the box before I mailed it. And, yes....we have a pretty good time at work.....when we can. hee hee. His family was my first official visitors to see the freaky garden.... Oh! Jerry is also the one that showed me how to take the nice closeup pictures. I sure know how to hire them, don't I?<BR/><BR/>Sinfonian - if you lived by me, we'd build all kinds of things.<BR/><BR/>This was truly a great post, i'm glad you put it together granny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-84290109323103391922008-10-03T19:33:00.000-07:002008-10-03T19:33:00.000-07:00bettyinga, I'm just glad you found us!

Take your fingers and just begin stirring the dry ingredients in from the sides until all has been combined (you might need a bit more milk for this method). It's messy, but messy can be fun.

And speaking of seeds, I just put jalapeno, red bell pepper and acorn squash seeds to dry. I was so careful when working with the jalapenos, even wore rubber gloves while I was seeding and chopping them. So what did I do? Went in and spread the seeds around with my bare hands, then later rubbed my nose and couldn't figure out why it burned so badly!

Your blog is the first one I read each day!<BR/><BR/>It is getting cool enough to have the oven on in the mornings now, so maybe I'll get a bit of bread baking done. Enjoy the biscuits...it's the recipe I've used for many years, from an old "Good Housekeeping" or "Better Homes & Gardens" oookbook.
