Country Biscuits
I like biscuits, and who doesn’t, but I had never made them. I asked a friend if I could have her recipe. When I looked it over, I asked, no baking soda? Well, I don’t think I could have upset her more if I tried. “Are you making soda biscuits or country biscuits?” Since these are country biscuits, take heed no baking soda. I’ll never make that mistake again. I modified it a little to reduce the fat and calorie intake. These are easy to make and are delicious.

- 2 cups of all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder

Directions

You can serve these with your main course hot with butter or plain. You can serve them at breakfast with jam or preserves. You can have them plain with stew or soups or any way which way you please. Have fun and make them your own, but remember these are country biscuits.
