MAG,

My dad used to make those kinds of bicuits for Sunday morning sometimes. We always just called them baking powder bisuits....really original, huh?

BUT, I went to a friend's house once and proceeded to put butter and sugar on my biscuits and they thought I was nuts! They'd never ehard of it and instead used gravy.

Later on I met someone from way down South who said they did the butter & sugar thing, too and my dad and I concluded that since a lot of his family was from Virginia, maybe that was where it got passed down from.

Even later, when I moved to New England, I found out they did the same thing, so now I am really confused:-). None of it seems really logical or tied to one geographical spot, so maybe it's just each family? Either way I love those biscuits.

When we moved to New England, those of the family who drink coffee had to be sure to order it black, if they didn't want cream & sugar 'cause just ordering coffee would get it with both as a matter of course.
