"Mother's Killer Biscuits"... These
biscuits are really awesome. Been making them for over 30 years. A family
holiday staple. You need 2 packages of Grands biscuits, 1 cube butter, a bundt
pan. Arrange biscuits in a circle in the pan on their side. Melt butter in
microwave (30 seconds) and pour over the biscuits. Bake at 350º for approx 30-37
minutes (depending on you oven and altitude... mine took 37) until dark golden brown on top. Put on rack to cool.
After about 10 minutes turn out onto a plate.
You make these, and you will thank
me!
