Sometimes when I get up in the morning there is a note on the kitchen counter from my 11 year old with a simple request of what she would like for breakfast.
The other morning the note said.
"Mom, will you make some biscuits this morning"
How to make biscuits was one of the first things that I learned during my culinary education in Granny's kitchen. According to my grandmother.. my great grandmother only required 3 ingredients to make her biscuits..
Flour, Sugar, and Cream
Mix in a bowl, roll them out... use cup to cut out biscuits.. then bake.. then eat.
So this has been the recipe that I have always used.. I've tried others.. actually tons.. I have 4 cookbooks dedicated to cooking nothing but biscuits.. but nothing quite gives me that warm fuzzy feeling like a batch of light and fluffy Cream Biscuits... with a little honey please..
When I started putting out those ingredients my eyes kept going to some leftover rosemary that I had.. so I gave into my curiousity..chopped it up and put some in the mix..
I'm glad I did.. and so was the little lady that made the request..
So the next morning the note said...
"Mom, can you make those biscuits with the green mary stuff again"
