My mother used this as a staple to feed me and my eight siblings in our youth.I can still see her making these and shooing us out of the kitchen or get in there and help her.We all ran but gobbled up her biscuits with an amazing speed.Will have to try this though I probably wont do as good as my mother putting strawberry jam on them.
