Biscuits I

Biscuits are a traditional bread from the American South and a staple of soul food. This recipe is in the Yankee style, which is to say, it contains an egg and the end result is less dependent on your pastry technique. These biscuits are tall, light, and sturdy. They are less salty than many store-bought mixes. They taste good plain or with butter, honey, jam, or sausage/ham gravy. Because they are sturdy, this recipe is particularly well-suited for making a sandwich.
