Yep, that was our house ~ take it or leave it : ) but we survived and never went hungry. We may not have had all the stuff we wanted but we did have what we really needed to live. One of our favorite things was when my mom would make biscuits and gravy. Now days, most people make the little biscuits in a can that you pop and bake rather than make them from scratch. I love biscuits from scratch especially if you make a really good gravy to go with them. I know -- not the best thing to eat for breakfast but back when you had to make something go for 6 kids and 2 adults, this worked.
OK, Penny, here are homemade biscuits for you -- try them, they are not hard to do : ) And if you have a baking stone, by all means ~ use it (they won't burn).
Happy Saturday -- go out and enjoy it. Do something fun !

Biscuits
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 dash salt 1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup buttermilk
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Cut in 1/2 cup butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in the buttermilk. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 2 minutes. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet or baking stone, roll into a 6x6 inch square, and cut into 12 even sections. Do not separate.
3. Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted in the center of the square comes out clean. Separate into biscuits, and serve hot.
