The Bomb Biscuits

When I think of biscuits, I think of my grandmother.  You know what I'm talking about.  I used to spend weekends with her as a child and I loved eating breakfast at her house.  She always made homemade biscuits, and had this old pastry cutter that looked like it was from like 1914.  She would use it to cut shortening into flour with baking powder, and salt, then fold in buttermilk never measuring anything.  Then she would roll them out and cut out circle biscuits with a juice glass.  I always liked watching her do that.  Somehow I cannot recreate those biscuits, even with her recipe.  Maybe I need that juice glass.  I was recently trying out some different ways to make biscuits and came up with this delicious drop biscuit.  I decided to amp it up with some meat and cheese and they were the BOMB!!  My boyfriend hates when I say "the BOMB!", but it is the appropriate term.  These are good as a side or you can eat 6 of them for dinner like me.  Don't worry I punished myself for about 5 minutes for this.  Give them a try.  You won't be disappointed.
