Tag Archives: biscuits

This recipe is a combination the late, great Southern chef Edna Lewis‘ recipe and an unwritten one by my mother-in-law, who is Georgia born and bred. I wanted to make biscuits as light and fluffy as hers but could not seem to replicate them up north. Biscuits were always better in Georgia. One day I watched as she put ingredients in a bowl without measuring them and patted out the perfect biscuit dough on a sheet of waxed paper. How did she do it?
