Weather sucks this weekend.....cool and rain.
Chicken and Biscuits on the menu.
From 40+ years ago, still remember this recipe for buttermilk biscuits:
- 66 cups flour
- 2# baking powder
- 4.5 oz salt
- sugar - a handful
- 30 eggs (unusual for biscuits)
- 5-7 quarts buttermilk
- 5# shortening
I rolled them about 5/8-3/4" thick and cut into ~2.5" circles. Panned them so they touched all sides....
Raised to ~2.5" high in oven....real tall and tender. People drove 50 miles for those things.
I made about 1,000,000 of them, literally.
We probably won't use that recipe for the Mrs. and I.......
