Mom's Yummy Biscuits

Submitted by jennijen

"I got this recipe from my mother, and she may have gotten it from her mother. These are really easy to throw together anytime and reheat well if you make too many. These are not bug fluffy biscuits, but more dense and flat, we used to use them for strawberry shortcake because they are great "soakers"."
