Trying to make grandma's yeast biscuits just like I remember! I think grandma really didn't measure her ingredients and it had to do something with her well water or maybe you can't duplicate treasured memories. Here are pictures from my latest try to recreate her biscuits. I do love this recipe because you don't have to wait for the biscuits to rise to cook them.<br />
<br />

I floured a pastry cloth to work the dough on. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The dough was pretty sticky. I believe I added a little too much flour to work in it. Never work the biscuit dough too much.<br />

I think grandmas made the honey butter from the left over butter that she spread on top of them.<br />

The recipe doesn't say how long to cook them. I cooked these around 10-13 minutes. One of our best memories is to stick our finger in the middle of the biscuit and pour syrup or honey butter it it. <br />

These are pretty close to grandmas' biscuits but just quite not the same.</div>

I found this little flip book for Creole Cuisine from the New Orleans Public Service. This little book was first printed in the 1930's. It was handed out around town on the streetcars, motels, hotels, stores, etc. It is a great little find with wonderful recipes.<br />

My mother and mother-n-law clipped recipes from newspapers, magazines, backs of the flour package, oatmeal boxes, chocolate chip packages and sugar. Whenever they found a recipe, they cut it out and put it in box or notebook. After years of watching my mother do this, I continued the tradition. I have decided to try to share my favorites with you and this is definitely a favorite. </div>
<br />
This recipe was published in the Parade magazine in 1981. Here is the recipe that my friends and I always call each other for around St. Patrick's Day. <br />

3 lbs chopped crawfish pie<br />
2 sticks butter<br />
½ cup flour<br />
1 onion chopped<br />
2 cloves garlic<br />
1 bell pepper, chopped<br />
2 bunches shallots (keep tops separated)<br />
1 bunch parsley<br />
1 cup celery<br />
3 Tbsp tomato sauce<br />
3 cups water (I use chicken stock) <br />
Salt<br />
Cayenne pepper<br />
<br />
Make a thick roux using the butter and flour. Add onions, garlic, bell peppers, celery and tomato sauce. Cover and simmer a hour on low heat and stir. Season. Add 3 cups water one at a time to make it consistent. Don't add too much that it is too watery. Cook all day. Mixture should be thick and creamy when tails and fat are added. Cook until tails are tender for 15 minutes. Add onion tops and parsley. Check for flavor. Put in pie crust and cover with top. Cut slivers in top. Bake 350° for 15 minutes. Reduce to 300° until brown.</div>

Heat milk and water with butter over low heat until warm (butter does not need to melt). You can heat this in the microwave on high in a 1 quart measuring pitcher for 1 ½ - 2 minutes. Add liquid to dry mixture. Beat for 1 ½ - 2 minutes at med speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add ½ c. flour. Beat for 1 ½ - 2 minutes at med speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in additional flour, using dough hook, if you have one. If not, mix by hand and knead for about 5 minutes. Aunt Louise usually adds ½ at a time for 3-4 times totaling1 ½ -2 c added. She keeps the dough fairly soft. Round up dough in greased bowl; grease top. Let rise in warm place until double in bulk, about 1 hour. Divide dough into 2 parts. Roll each part into a oblong about 15X18 inches. Sprinkle each with ¼ c of a mixture of 1 c sugar and 1T cinnamon. Roll up like a jelly roll. Place in a greased (Aunt Louise uses vegetable spray) loaf pans (two 9x5x3). Again let rise until almost doubled in bulk, 40-50 mins, depending on the degree of warmth. It may not take that long. Brush top with 2 T softened butter (works best if almost to melted stage but not quite so that is doesn’t all run down the sides) and sprinkle generously of the remaining ½ c cinnamon/sugar mixture. Bake 45 mins in 325 or 350 oven. </span></div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Enjoy!</span><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><div align="left"><br /></div></span>sdgphotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14296282961541686492noreply@blogger.com0
