This is a recipe that my family has used since I was a little girl in Georgia. My Papa was stationed at the Marine Corps logistics base in Albany GA in the early 80's, and the church on base had made a cook book to sell at a fund raiser. My Mema (Mom), a beautiful woman and cook, bought the book. Unfortunately the book being made by volunteers long before computers ment that there were quite a few editing errors. My mother had to figure out the temperature and time for this recipe which has been added here. I can promise you that you will love these. Marines would beg my Father for a dinner invite if Mema was making her biscuits and I must say that of my friends that have had these I have received the same rock star status.

Hint: best if allowed to refrigerator for at least 1 hours. Also may need to add more flour so dough may be handled, all purpose flour would be best.
5

Roll out dough no thinner then 1/2 inches thick. Place on increased baking sheet (my favorite is the air bake sheet). Bake at 450° for 10 to 12 minutes.

This dough can be refrigerated for up to 1 weeks or frozen for longer but make sure you give it time to warm up. It will be easier to work with.
