These biscuits are made from a recipe that's been in our family for years. They are simple to make and smell so good when baking! The wonderful aroma takes me back to those days when Mom made these with dinner—it's as if I'm there in our family's kitchen again, with her busy at the stove. —Jean Parsons, Sarver, Pennsylvania
