  2. I made these as part of mine and SO's dinner and also for "Flour Power Challenge April 2008". The biscuits were light and fluffy.And as Elly in Canada said "Basic and Simple recipes are the best ".These baked up very well in about 15 minutes in my oven.Thanks for posting, and "Keep Smiling :)"
     
  3. I love these old-time recipes! Always basic and very simple, I used shortening in the dough; and baked them for about 12 minutes. Nice hot with butter and jam!

I live in the beautiful North Georgia Mountains with my husband and 2 cats. We are busy with our new business..Ain't B's Bakery/Cafe'. Some of my customers ask for recipes, I'm so excited that I found this web-site..I can now send my customers to this web-site "RECIPEZAAR.com" for not only my recipes but everyone elses recipes. I have been baking and cooking since I was 16 years old. My first job was a short order cook at the local drug store,(Great after school job, kids!!!!)I have had formal training as a chef and training as a cake decorator and Confectionery Art. My favorite cookbooks?? All of them! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> For fun I love to fish for trout when I'm in Georgia and salt water fish when I'm in Florida in the winter. My passion is to learn how to cook everything! Everyway, and Anyway. Would love to host my own cooking shows on National Television. I have had local shows but nothing national. Look out Paula Deen! lol I have been writing a cookbook for a very a long time, I just can't find enough hours in the day to finish it, besides...HOW WILL I KNOW WHEN I'VE REACHED THE END OF MY COOKBOOK??
