The BEST Way to Make Biscuits!!!

Mom, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, when it comes to making biscuits, here's my favorite way:
First you get some Kingsford charcoal burning good and hot, 30 usually does the trick, it doesn't take a lot. Then you need to figure out just how flour you'll need, how many hungry cowboys does your outfit plan to feed?
Give or take a hat mouth or two this recipe feeds 12, but when you go to count'in hats, don't forget yourself!!
Mix soda, salt, and powder in a bowl with regular flour and don't waste time those cowboys need to eat within the hour.
Next you need to cut in two thirds cup of shortening, then add your yeast and buttermilk you aint left out a thing!
Now wash your hands and work it on a floured table top, and when it's rolled out to an inch that's when you know to stop.
Find a coffee cup or can or whatever can be found, it doesn't matter what you cut them with as long as it's round and place them edges touchin' in a greased up 12 inch dutch and put some charcoal underneath but careful, not too much! Too much coal will burn them 5 or 6 will do the trick, to spread those coals out evenly I use a wooden stick.
But put as many as can fit on the oven lid, and don't forget to check your watch, you'll be glad you did. Let them cook for half an hour until they're golden brown then pull that cast iron lid away and let them things cool down.
Make these biscuits up according to the warden's wishes and if any cowboy doesn't like them, he can do the dishes!! Pat Teakell
