This recipe was my Mom's. I think she got it from an old cook book and adapted it a little. One thing we all loved was when she made stew in a roaster. She would roll out the biscuit dough and with the round roaster lid cut out the dough to cover the stew. She would make a small cut out in the middle for steam. After the stew was cooked she would place the dough over the stew and replace it in the oven with the lid off. When we ate the stew we would cut out the biscuit on top, place it in our bowl and then scoop some of the stew over it mmmm good. I am not brave enough to try this and myself. Sorry for the long story here is the recipe. BISCUITS
