Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Daddy used to love to eat these biscuits as often as possible particularly with Steen’s syrup. Momma did as well, but she preferred homemade fig preserves though Steen’s would suffice. I can’t be for certain, but I believe that Daddy morphed this recipe from Momma’s cathead biscuits or Mrs. Myrt’s (Nickens) biscuits. Again, a family staple passed on to generations.
