Grandma had a perfect little apron and rolling pin all ready for Sophie to use. And together they made biscuits!
Grandma never measures when she makes biscuits. If you ask her for her recipe, she will look at you a little blankly and say, "Well honey, you just put your flour in the bowl and work in the buttermilk..."
Which is exactly what she does.
Next, Sophie got to roll out the dough with her rolling pin. She did a great job!
Then, Grandma showed Sophie how to use a biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits. I'm pretty sure this was her favorite part.
They put the biscuits in the baking dish and they were ready for the oven!
Sophie learned that a watched biscuit never browns. Or something like that.
Once the biscuits were done, we all enjoyed the fresh hot biscuits with apple butter and sweet tea. (Except Sophie, who enjoyed them with apple juice instead.) Sophie was very proud of her biscuits. And I know the feeling.
Because a long time ago, I did the same thing myself.
