Don't knead much or don't need much? Or both?

FAX, when you make these at home, as opposed to over a campfire, do you use the cast iron dutch oven or a baking sheet?
My granny made scratch biscuits almost every morning of her life up into her seventies. I remember watching her do it, I think she could have made them blindfolded. She never measured, just threw stuff together and next thing you knew you were eating biscuits. Usually with sausage and eggs and gravy, always with tomatoes on the side in the summer. Good times. |

What a wacky granny you had, Mr. seclark. I'll have to try that someday. I'll bet there are lots of variations you could come up with ... cheese biscuits ... cheddar cheese biscuits ... jalapeno cheese biscuits ... the list could go on and on ...
To be honest, I have been hesitant to mess around with the recipe too much, though. When you're thousands of miles from home and there's nobody around who loves you and the night is cold and your best friend is a bottle of Boone's Farm and a tire iron, a traditional, cowboy biscuit is just what the doctor ordered. Accept no substitutes. FAX |

The rabbits were probably for fertilizing her weed crop.

We're of a southern biscuit lineage. Not to disparage the delicious cowboy biscuit.
Pretty much the same, 'cept the shortening is halved and butter replaces the other half and the milk is buttermilk. And yes, you mix it just enough that the ingedients are aware of each other's existence. Actually, we sift the dry together, and put the wet in with a few cursory strokes, and make sure those wet ingredients go in cold. Oh, and butter and molasses is a suitable as any topping, plus you can dredge your sausage links through the molasses.
