For about a year I had little use of my left arm so making biscuits with the pastry cutter was out of the question.

I came across this recipe in "Beard on Bread" and it sounded like something I could do with only one functioning arm so I tried it.

The answer was, yes, I could do it with one arm and oh my, were they good.

I have both arms back but I still make these biscuits.

Did you injure your rotator cuff?

Just that to lose the use of your arm for a year is odd.

I also lost the use of my arm for a year, due to torn rotator cuff.

I am also odd.

I love Beard on Bread, but I hadn't tried this recipe yet. I should, soon.

When I make biscuits, I just cut into diamons or squares. That way there are no cut out peices to re-roll. I’m lazy. I will try the cream ones when I get an oven, it went bad and I haven’t had one for months. I hate not having an oven, as I make all my own bread.

I have a Dover reprint of the origal FF cookbook, it’s interesting but not exceptionally useful for me but I like to read it. A newer FF is my main “regular” cookbook, along a Better Homes and Gardens from 1951, I like the canning section, so much easier than what they say is necessary now.
