Biscuits from Scratch

Geauxts Catheads
This is exact, pay attention..

7 or 8 tablespoons of self rising flour.
About a tablespoon of baking powder.
About 2 forkfulls of lard, or crisco, butter flavored works pretty good.
Cut the lard into the flour with a fork.
Pour buttermilk or milk into the dry mix until the consistency is right.
Consistency is right when you can roll into a ball using your floured hands.
Have a cast iron skillet with a coating of lard standing by, or at least wipe some grease around in it with a paper towel.
Place in skillet, flatten the balls out a little and let them sit and rise back up for about 10 minutes.
Cook em on about 350 until they look ready.

This is an exact recipe, but, if you're at the camp and groceries are running out, beer or gingerale can be used for the milk, and if out of Crisco, mayonaise works pretty good..

Bet they're not as good as Geauxt's!

He was never one to openly plan for or talk about death.

I understand that. I guess in our family we pass down recipes to younger generations just in case. Like I said earlier, sorry for your loss...

Totally understand. I plan to do a couple of things my Dad didn't. Have a will and pass down my recipes.

Grandmother's recipe.

Buttermilk until wet.
1 cup of Self Rising Flour
Heeping tablespoon of Crisco Lard

That's all I use. When I roll them out I dip them in bacon drippings. Best Biscuits I've ever had.

I use 7-UP.
