Here is my wonderful cousin Grace with her husband Ken, and her son Steve and daughter Marie. They live in Michigan and I miss them all! I was born into a grace-filled life--the grace of God, my grandmother Grace, my aunt Grace and my beloved cousin and dear friend Grace. Cousin Grace and I have only lived in the same town for a couple of years in our entire lives, but we have remained close since childhood.
These biscuits, from the Bread Bible, will remind me of her whenever I bake them.
Like my cousin Grace, they are:
I had never made these before, but they are so simple and quick to prepare, I will definitely put these on the menu more often.
Although biscuits are a religious experience in the South, they aren't always my favorite (gasp!). Biscuits take third place behind yeast breads and cornbread at our house.

Like my cousin Grace, they are:
- tender
- sweet, without being sugary
- a pleasure
- leave you wanting more!

The dough is dropped by a scoop into a pan of flour and then gently shaped by hand instead of being rolled and cut.
The biscuits are crowded in the pan so that they rise up, not sideways. Mine were a bit smaller than Rose prescribed--I made a dozen instead of 9 from the batch of dough.
I wouldn't describe these as typical Southern biscuits. These are rich and almost cakey in texture, lightly sweet and fragile when warm. In short--delightful!
They were also delicious cold the next morning for breakfast.
