My Southern husband (Shenandoah Valley, VA) always raved about his mom's biscuits until he tried the ones I made with Bakewell Cream. They are the best hands down. Lately, I've started mixing butter and lard in my biscuits, sometimes even will beat up an egg in a measuring cup and mix it with buttermilk before I add the liquid to the dry ingredients. Just last week, I tried a new recipe from "The Breakfast Book" (gone brain dead all of a sudden, can't think of the author's first name - The Fannie Farmer Lady - Ms. Cunningham), and it calls for rolled oats. They were great. It appeared to be a basic biscuit recipe, but it was amazing what the addition of oats did to the recipe. I haven't made angel biscuits for awhile. These sure do look good. Thanks, PJ, for all the experimenting. And hey - someone send some cold weather back down here to ol' Virginny. Moooooooo!!! That would be Marion. And, Beth - it was 87°F here today. I'll have to try those oat biscuits, for sure. MOOOOOOOOO indeed! PJH
