While my parents were in town, my Dad requested biscuits and gravy for breakfast. And I remember the biscuits my Mom use to make after we went on trip through mid eastern states. If I remember correctly if was when we stopped in Ohio. We stopped to visit where the Amish lived in the country side of Ohio. Beautiful place! The Amish, they are amazing people.
And boy can they cook!
My little brother LOVED their homemade creamed corn! He couldn't get enough of it.
My Mom picked up a cookbook at one of the stops and this biscuit recipe was in it. The best part, they are drop biscuits. I struggle just a tad when I have to roll out and cut out biscuits. I haven't perfected not over mixing them, they turn out tough and flat instead of light and fluffy like these biscuits do.
