[...] believe I mentioned before my Dad’s from a farm in Kentucky where, to get to the outhouse, you must first run a race for your life against the hounds that live [...]

Yes, they’re especially delicious with apple butter or homemade jam. These are the easiest biscuits you will ever make. Betcha this is how you’ll make them once you try them.

I think they’re actually better in a cast iron skillet. As is everything. Thanks for stopping by!!

I happened to have all the ingredients and made them the same day. Awesome! I made them in a cast iron skillet because I have one that these fit perfectly in. I’ve spent a lot of time in Kentucky, and I love that you know how to say “crik”. There’s just no other way.

Lard, lard, beautiful lard. In our home, Dad kept a coffee can filled with old bacon grease that he used in everything. No wonder everything tasted so good.

I’ve been making biscuits for over 30 years and never saw them made like that, but I am going to try it. I love your description of your visit to the holler and especially the outhouse one.lol.. It sounds just like home. Well, years ago home. Thanks for visiting me and I sure do enjoy your site.

Just found your blog, and had my first fond memory and laugh of the day…thank you! Growing up, my parents had close friends that were from Kentucky. I was transported back to a visit to their warm home, where “Uncle Ray” was trying to teach me how to make hoe cakes. Since he made them by flying by the seat of his pants, I have to say I never quite mastered the art. They were absolutely delicious (being fried in lard, of course), served with plenty of butter, syrup and sorghum. *Sigh* My laugh came as I scrolled down the page and came to the horrible husband disease…Man Cold. They are truly worse than children when they get sick! Again, thanks again for the trip down memory lane and the laughs.
