Mikki	Posted - Jul 29 2009 : 09:27:50 AM Does anyone still make their biscuits from a dough bowl using only your hands to mix and form the biscuits? How do you make yours? ~~Blessings, Mikki Jo "Courage is being scared to death... but saddling up anyway" ***John Wayne http://main.acsevents.org/goto/iloveyoumom http://burningmeadowsprings.blogspot.com/

pinkroses	Posted - Jul 30 2009 : 11:35:46 AM Alee. I love biscuits; though being Diabetic; I can't have them often during the week I love homemade; but been buying the Pillsbury dough boy's biscuits. I use to make home made loaf breads, cake and cookies every week when my son was little I use to love to bake. hugs sheila www.ohkayteagirl2.blogspot.com http;//www.sheilascreativewritings.blogspot.com
Alee	Posted - Jul 30 2009 : 11:20:54 AM Something must be in the air! I have read at least 2 threads about biscuits today! LOL Now I am hungry for biscuits and don't quite have enough time to make them!

Annab	Posted - Jul 30 2009 : 07:17:55 AM I make drop biscuits. Simple kneeding with hands and just plop onto a cookie sheet. Learned from my dad Don't have the patience to roll and cut when it all goes to the same place anyway....althought uniform round biscuits hold the gravy better!
Alee	Posted - Jul 29 2009 : 9:33:07 PM I do them the way Amie does hers, but occasionally I roll them out. Alee Farmgirl Sister #8 www.awarmheart.com www.farmgirlalee.blogspot.com www.allergyjourneys.blogspot.com Put your pin on the farmgirl map! www.farmgirlmap.blogspot.com
Mikki	Posted - Jul 29 2009 : 8:07:36 PM I would love the cornmeal recipe Debbie! ~~Blessings, Mikki Jo "Courage is being scared to death... but saddling up anyway" ***John Wayne http://main.acsevents.org/goto/iloveyoumom http://burningmeadowsprings.blogspot.com/
laurzgot	Posted - Jul 29 2009 : 4:45:21 PM I use a pastry blender to blend shorting with dry ingredents. Put lots of flour on a flour board and pat the dough , then use a cutter. Laurie suburban countrygirl at heart
harmonyfarm	Posted - Jul 29 2009 : 4:26:56 PM I mix mine by hand. I use lard for the shortening, roll them out and cut them with a metal vegetable can lidless on both ends to serve as a cutter. Something about the can makes them perfect. I've been using the same can for years as they don't make veggie cans that open on both ends anymore. I have a recipe for cornmeal biscuits that goes back to the Civil War. Love 'em with chili....must be suppertime, I'm hungry....

pinkroses	Posted - Jul 29 2009 : 11:46:24 AM My dear deceased grandmother had one of those ; well 2 ; but one was really big ! dark brown mixing bowls with the ridges on them the really old ones. She took a walnut size or bigger of dough. She put flour on her hands and patted them each in a perfect round biscuit they were so good. She was one for cooking fast one funny thing about her is When she got her "electric stove" she wouldn't fix any thing "messy" in her oven You know like sticky googey casseroles. she thought it was only for baking sutff like bread, pies, cakes etc lol hugs sheila www.ohkayteagirl2.blogspot.com http;//www.sheilascreativewritings.blogspot.com
1badmamawolf	Posted - Jul 29 2009 : 11:40:42 AM I also do all my mixing by hand, and do drop biscuits, no rolling out and cutting, takes too much time, and my time is precious "Treat the earth well, it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children"
Aunt Jenny	Posted - Jul 29 2009 : 11:36:40 AM I mostly do it that way too...out of pure laziness and the fact that I learned that way. I do love the look of the rolled and cut ones (never met a bisquit I didn't like) but I tend to do drop bisquits or hand formed ones.

chaddsgirl	Posted - Jul 29 2009 : 10:52:01 AM Same here. I think I'm just too lazy to roll them out. But I make mine the same way Amie C does. A person is a success if they get up in the morning and get to bed at night and in between does what they want to do. Bob Dylan
Amie C.	Posted - Jul 29 2009 : 10:22:48 AM That's the way I learned to make biscuits. It's only the last year or so that I started rolling them out and cutting them. I just roll a pinch of dough between my hands, with lots of flour on them to keep the dough from sticking, and pat them in close to each other in the baking pan.
