Notes from Great Grandma's Cookbook:
Most homemakers have a recipe or two they whip out at a moments notice by memory. Kathy and Nancy wanted me to include this Baking Powder Biscuit recipe used while they grew up.It is served as a dinner bread or as a shortcake for fruit.
Sprinkle the tops before baking with a little sugar when used with strawberries or peaches or...season dough with herbs or onion flakes for a dinner bread.
