I do remember that occasionally we had real butter with biscuits ...and on grits ...and it made all the difference. Margarine is OK, but butter is excellent.Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733838869805925920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36460660.post-33978847126057415452010-12-04T07:38:19.389-08:002010-12-04T07:38:19.389-08:00I haven't made biscuits from scratch in quite ...I haven't made biscuits from scratch in quite a while (Pillsbury Grands have been more my speed lately). But these biscuits have a special place in my heart. I remember the nights growing up when we had biscuits for dinner. They didn't appear often (mostly when we were having the beef stew or sometimes with baked ham). Dad would call, "Butter them while they're hot!" and we would run in to the dining room to join the buttering of the biscuits, which he would already have started. Each buttered biscuit was set back on the serving plate upside-down to mark which ones were buttered and which weren't. He liked to have them all buttered while they were hot from the oven so that the butter (probably really margarine in those days) would completely melt into the biscuit. I don't butter them all while they're hot anymore, so I no longer get that other slightly unusual treat: cold leftover biscuits that were buttered this way and stored in the fridge after dinner.Next Sister Downnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36460660.post-66868439424364865842010-11-29T22:22:01.767-08:002010-11-29T22:22:01.767-08:00They look wonderful, I bet they taste great straog...They look wonderful, I bet they taste great straoght from the oven.
