I always thought that making things from scratch was difficult. I didn’t think that I could cook or make things homemade for most of my adult life. The older I get, I am finding this to be untrue. Cooking from scratch doesn’t have to be complicated or require a list of ingredients you can’t pronounce. Ha! It can be as simple as whipping up a batch of biscuits for a simple and slow Saturday morning. I found this simple homemade biscuit recipe years ago, and the recipe comes out perfect every time. I have yet to create a batch of these biscuits that have failed. They are always perfectly flaky and exactly how I remember them tasting in my Great Grandma Smith’s kitchen. Enjoy!
