When me and my little sister where in elementary school. Our momma would get up extra early on the first day of school and make us breakfast. What always made it special was she would break out the her wedding china from when she married my dad. I really need to give her an extra squeeze for that next time I hug her.

i loved these. i added cheese and my pickled jalapenos to a batch for my husband and they were a hit. but i was thinking that next time i’d try adding some salt. how much do you think would be a good amount for this recipe?

How much oil is in the bottom of the pan? I needed enough to be able to spoon some on top…that caused almost a frying effect on the biscuits. They were still very good, just a bit concerned about the oil levels in the pan… I used a pizza pan and it worked fine.

These stories remind me of “how it went” in our family. I could make a meat loaf that everyone would think was good but I would say that my mother’s was always better. My mother would say that she never could make her’s as good as my grandmother’s. And when my grandmother was still alive, she’d tell you that her’s wasn’t as good as her mother’s! My great-grand mother lived to be 95 years old & my grandmother was 104 when she passed away. We were very blessed to have our good cooks around for a very long time!!!

Hi Christy, These biscuits reminded me of a fun story I like to tell about a big family dinner with my husband’s aunts, uncles, and cousins in Winchester, TN. They had a big affair everytime we came to visit as if we were the king and queen of something, but that is a different story. Those aunts and cousins were the queens and princesses of country cooking for me. So like you.
The biscuits were amazingly delicious. I asked who made them and Eddie’s cousin said in her wonderfully southern voice, “I did.”
I asked her for the recipe and here it is. Christy, you must read it in your best southern voice for full effect. ))
“Well, you take a cup a’ self-risin’ flour, a hen egg of crisco, and just enough milk to make it right.”
Thirty-nine years later, I am still using that recipe, but it will never be as good from my kitchen as it is from Patti’s.

All of these great comments about you Mothers makes me miss mine. I lost her 10 years ago she was almost 87. When we were little (11 of us kids) she made gravy and biscuits, oatmeal, bacon, and sausage every morning for breakfast. sometimes she would cut up bologna and put it in the gravy or cut up tomatoes in it. My Mom loved to cook and to bake. Everybody wanted to come to our house to eat because my Mom made 3 big meals a day. We never knew we were poor cause we ate better than anyone we knew. She taught me to cook b4 I started school. I would love to spend 1 more day in the kitchen with my Mother.
Thanks you Christy for posting some of the recipes my Mom made while I was growing up.
