For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

Do you remember those big, fluffy, delicious biscuits that you enjoyed eating at grandma's house? I sure do. I remember the big old wood cookstove in my grandma's kitchen and the delicious biscuits that were always sitting in the "warmer" area. No matter the time of day, there were always biscuits at the ready in grandma's kitchen! I grew up in the midwest where we had some mighty cold winters. One of the best things to do was to sit in grandma's kitchen where the heat from the big old cookstove made it the warmest room in the house. So if you are like me and have wonderful memories of sitting in grandma's kitchen eating a homemade biscuit slathered with hand-churned butter and homemade jam, you might want to try one of these old-fashioned biscuit recipes

BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

5 cups flour

3/4 cup shortening or lard

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp soda

1 tsp salt

3 tbsp sugar

1 pkg yeast

1/3 cup warm water

2 cups buttermilk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Sift dry ingredients together into large bowl. Cut shortening into flour mixture. Add buttermilk and yeast that's been dissolved in the warm water. Mix with a spoon until all the flour is moistened. Cover and set in refrigerator till ready to use. Take out as much dough as needed. Roll out on a floured board to 1/2" to 3/4" thick. Cut using a biscuit cutter or small glass. Bake 12 minutes until browned. Keep unused dough in refrigerator for use the next day.

BAKING POWDER BISCUITS

2 cups flour

4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cream of tartar

2 tsp sugar

Sift all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Using two knives, cut in shortening until crumbly. Add milk and mix in well. Roll out on a lightly floured surface and cut with a biscuit cutter. Bake at 400 degrees for fifteen to twenty minutes.

Enjoy!
