Biscuit Shortage
Apparently there is a biscuit shortage in our area.
I made a deer stew today in the slow cooker and thought some biscuits would go good with it.
I had to make a 45 minute run to another town and got there earlier than I needed.
Figured I'd kill time in their Dollar General and pick up some biscuits to go with the stew.
They had nothing.
On my way home stopped by our towns DG, none.
The wife called on her way home and I told her to stop and get some.
She stated that last week, there none at WM. No frozen or the pop up kind
She stopped by the Kroger and bought the only thing of pop up biscuits they had.
Not sure if its a trucking thing or just what it is.
Of all the things to not see in a store though, biscuits.

If you ever run across a biscuitville restaurant check them out they have really good biscuits.
Did the name give it away?

fresh baked cat head? You have my attention....
I don't know who was comparing biscuits to that, but it sure seems... most dire.

I drink a tall cold glass of buttermilk everyday! Always keep at least a gallon (two jugs) on hand. I know it is an acquired taste, but I was weaned on that stuff.
When it comes to fast food biscuit sandwiches I find they are so *&^% DRY that I just about choke trying to eat them. I always buy the English muffin type breakfast sandwiches instead.
not that often but a few times a year I buy it just to drink just a throw back from when I a kid most we keep it on hand just for the biscuits
speaking of milk as a kid I remember mom ,dad would crumble up corn bread in milk sometimes buttermilk or just whole milk . I never acquired a taste for it 😝

Surly ya'll jest. City folks for sure, Living in the dark ages. Yankees?
Cat head, big ole biscuit, made from scratch about the size of a cat head.
Granny would bake them morning in a wood stove.
Left overs went into the warming cubbie at the top of the stove. Come over from school, yum yum, like eating cake forsure
Oh and whampum. that is what you do to a canned biskit, whamp it over the counter top edge.

My grandmother made 'em 50 at a time. She used a Clabber Girl can to cut them out. The left over dough was baked as a hoe cake.
She also made corn dodgers which is hard crust corn bread. I remember breaking a tooth on one when I was little.
Have you ever seen someone "saucer and blow" their coffee?

Yep, many a time.
And many a person saved by the sop of life.

i have my Moms old biscuit tray . Old wooden tray is worn way down . From 1946 or so till around 1980 she made biscuits three times a day . Took a lot to feed a family of 7 . Tapered off on the making as we kids got married and moved away . I make them once a week or so as the mood strikes . I am good at it ,just not as good as she was . You must have buttermilk and lard , everything else is just a get by . Mistake most make is kneading the dough too much , you just want it to hold together good and keep its shape when you pat it out . If you must have a canned biscuit the pillsbury grands are about the best of the bunch

Good friend of whom I have had the pleasure of setting at her dinner table many times makes her biskits this way, pulls out the flour bin drawer, dumps in the desired amount of butter milk, and some sort of lard , butter or shortening, and hand mixes away in the flour drawer. I think she uses self rising varity. Never measures anything, Some fine eating for sure.

Using those canned store bought biscuits, I flatten them out. Place a hot dog, strip of pre semi cooked bacon, hunk of cheddar or Swiss cheese. Wrap it all up and bake.
Them things are GOOOOOOD! 😛

That's how my Grandfather would drink his tea at every meal. I thought it was weird when I was a kid.
