I don’t bake much but with the new oven for Christmas I have to bake now and then or my wife and daughter get cranky. Least I can do is pick something I like that isn’t too much work. This recipe is really from my grandpa. Read more He swore he got it from an old man who went west as a youngin and came back to the home place in West Virginia when he got too old to be a cowboy. I worked on a cattle ranch in New Mexico one summer and these taste like the biscuits Cookie made. Greasy, chewy, stick to your ribs biscuits. Cowboys don’t eat lunch, or didn’t back then, and I got hungry so I’d grab a few of these off the breakfast table, wrap em in a bandanna and stick em in my saddle bag. Cowboy takeout. See less
