To: cherry

Two cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 cup hog lard
add milk or butter milk. If buttermilk, add 1/2 tsp baking soda to make a dough kneed lightly on a board and roll out flat.

Now comes the good part.
Get the largest cast iron skillet you have
Place two tablespoons lard in and allow to melt. Add a small amount of butter.

Roll out the dough till about 3/4 thick
take a jelly jar glass (remember those?)
dip the rim of the jelly jar in flour and cut out biscuits
place the biscuits in the melted lard, then flip over.
Do this till the skillet is full. If there is not a lot of lard/butter left, pat the biscuit onto another biscuit till all have grease on the top.

Place in an oven at 475 degrees for about 15-20 minutes till the tops are slightly brown.

Mix molasses with butter stir well. Open the hot biscuit and place the mixture on the biscuit with a knife. enjoy.

I had a semi-religious experience just reading that.

Raised on cornbread and biscuits...oooh so long ago.
