I’m sure I’ve mentioned that I’m not a baker. That would be understating the case a bit. I shun the oven. In the tropics, an oven is not your friend. They turn the kitchen into a Sana. I love baked goods and am fortunate that my wife likes to bake. Read more However, she’s a busy lady and I can’t ask her to drop everything and bake some biscuits. I remembered that my great uncle Johnny made biscuits when we went hunting. He used a cast iron skillet on the campfire coals. A little trial and error and you have Skillet Biscuits. I just used my Go To biscuit recipe for ingredients. See less
