My mom always made lots and lots of biscuits when I was growing up. Given my age...dot, dot, dot, (LOL), some of the homes I grew up in didn't always have air conditioning, eek... hot, hot, hot. That was also before eating out became quite so "acceptable" nor were we able to find so many prepackaged items for meals - so my mom ALWAYS cooked supper - from scratch - with real food. No matter how long her workday was or how hot it was, she always cooked supper (and we weren't overweight... go figure). Usually we had meat, a starch, a vegetable, and either biscuits or cornbread. If we had spaghetti or tuna casserole, we still had some sort of bread. Sometimes the bread was my favorite part of supper, since we also wouldn't EVER consider telling my mom "I don't like that." We just ate it and that was that. When our kitchen was blazing hot, it was a real NO-NO to turn on the oven for obvious reasons. Mom ...
This is how I do it AT HOME MY WAY!
