Baking Powder Biscuits

Published June 15, 2020

My sister Wanda would always make the best light fluffy biscuits. I am sure she learned from my Mom, but she got it right. She would whip them up and have them served with a bit of gravy in no time at all. Wanda was also known as “Peaches”, her handle on the CB Radio - if you remember those good old times. Her son Jeromy was “Peach Pit”. Great memories. In honor of my sis.
