My great grandmother ran a boarding house and restaurant in downtown Oklahoma City around 1910. She cooked all day long. She was famous for her biscuits. She was way to busy to measure things, and just added a handful of this and a pinch of that.
My mother loved those biscuits and stood there in the kitchen and measured every ingredient and granny whipped up a batch of biscuits. The biggest problem was she made enough biscuits for a dozen hungry men that had been working hard all day, so it had to be scaled down.
Mom's biscuits from that recipe were great, but from what I hear great grandmas biscuits were the best.
My dad was an Air Force officer and on one of his many trips he ate at a base officers mess hall that was known for great apple pie. Dad loved it, and figured he would get the recipe. He said it started with 100 pounds of butter.............
