I just love this recipe!! Not only is the hoe cake delicious as is, it is also great to use for other variations! I make garlic cheese bread using the same recipe only adding grated cheese and garlic. My daughters love it! I can’t wait to try making a sweet bread with it. Thanks Christy for all your wonderful recipes! I just love your cookbook!

I just lost my Mama and I miss her so much. She was a wonderful cook and never used a recipe or a measuring cup. She made the best candied sweet potatoes, they were so good on one of her biscuits as a after school snack. I watched her make then countless times but have never been able to duplicate. She also had a wicked sense of humor. Her fried apple pies were wonderful and people use to beg her for them. She made a special one for her boss , it was the most picture perfect fried pie you ever saw. She had substituted her yummy dried apple filling with cotton balls. She and her friend hide and watch him take his first bite. 40 years later she would still grin when she told the story. (She did give him another one with apples). I miss her.

This is so wonderful to read all of these stories about everyones mommy. I too had a great mommy and her biscuits were so great. When we were all children ( six children, I am the youngest) she would cook breakfast before everyone left for school and Dad left for work. She would make hot oatmeal, gravy or choclate syrup with hot biscuits. Sometimes my father would wake up real early and say to my mother that he would love to have some hot biscuits and her canned peaches or blackberries and she would get up and make this for him. Before I was married and the only one at home shse would do this and wake me to ask if I wanted to eat with them. Other members of my family says that I cook like my mother and this is the best compliment that they could give me.

I make an even simpler biscuit. 2 cups of self-rising flour with 1 cup of whipping cream. Mix until wet, turn onto floured surface and knead a little bit. Pull off or cut biscuits and place on baking sheet. Place into 500 degree overn for 10 minutes and pull out great moist fluffy biscuits.
