Personal Notes:
1979, from Grandma Battle
These are undoubtedly the very best biscuits on the planet, and she could whip these out with her eyes closed. I always watched her make these when she came to visit, and she made them just about every morning. No measurements, but that's how she cooked everything, and it was always delicious.
