For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

Go back to grandma's recipe box and pull out these recipes for some delicious old fashion biscuits. You will be surprised what mayonnaise does for biscuits. And the homemade biscuit mix--with a biscuit recipe--makes some great old-time biscuits.

HOMEMADE BISCUIT MIX

8 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup baking powder
4 tsps salt
1 cup lard* for soft wheat flour or 1 1/2 cups lard for hard wheat flour

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut lard into flour mixture with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture has a fine even crumb. Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. This mixture will keep at least a month in the refrigerator. Yield: 10 cups biscuit mix.

TO MAKE BISCUITS:

Add 1/2 cup milk to 2 cups Homemade Biscuit Mix. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1/2 minute. Pat or roll to 1/2-inch thickness and cut with a medium size cutter or lip of a water or juice glass that has been dipped in flour. Bake in a very hot oven (450 degrees) for 12 to 15 minutes or until brown. Yield: 10 to 12 biscuits.

*Solid shortening may be substituted for lard if you prefer.

MAYONNAISE BISCUITS

2 cups self-rising flour
4 tbsp mayonnaise
1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease two six cup or one 12 cup muffin tins and set aside.

Stir all the ingredients together until well mixed. Divide dough evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Bake at 450 degrees until brown.

Enjoy!
