Enjoy the pleasure of watching your family gobble up your biscuits tonight at dinner, compliments of Mom. It is simple, satisfying, fun, and thrifty. Who doesn’t need to practice thrift in today’s economy?
If you think that you can’t make bread or that it is too time consuming and difficult, then, welcome to my bread making technique's. With just a few tips and some effort, you can create, eat and enjoy. By making your own bread you control just how healthful the food that you prepare for your family is. It is quite simple and not as time consuming as you might think.
Growing up in the hard times of an earlier century, it was a necessity to know how to make bread for the big families that were common then. My mother was a master bread maker. Every morning she pulled her big granite biscuit bowl from the cabinet and began the main staple of our breakfast. Biscuits and gravy. If the hens were laying eggs and not setting, we added eggs to the biscuits and gravy and salt meat menu. There was also a gallon jug of milk from our cow,a bowl of cow butter and a bottle of syrup.
I used to watch Mom form her biscuits by rolling them between the palms of her hands. I felt that every biscuit Mom rolled out was hand kissed. Once her dough was rolled into a ball, she dipped the top of it in the melted lard in her skillet, turned it over, and placed the biscuits side by side until her pan was filled with enough bread to feed her big family.
