Here is a great recipe for old fashioned biscuits...and I do mean old. It was found in an 1842 diary of Alice Stephans. She stated that it had been in her family for generations. She baked them in a Dutch oven and sometimes used what we now know as a "reflector fire." I use this recipe when camping and it is GREAT!
