***I am still confused what biscuits are I think from what Justacowgirl and others have told me they are similar to our cobblers or scones which we have traditionally with jam and cream am I right?***
Perhaps a list of ingredients for biscuits would help explain what they are:
2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup milk
We have them with chicken and gravy; some people (I'm one) like them with strawberries and whipped cream for strawberry shortcake; also served hot with butter...yum; or in place of bread for just about anything.
They're similar in texture to scones, but have no sugar in the recipe.
