It came out of a barn and our friend refinished it and we bought it. It was made here in Ohio. I have a Hoosier-type cabinet with the built in flour holder and sifter.

I know it is popular in WV and I would love to have a jar. Let me know if there is any place or anyone you know of that sells it or would be willing to sell it. Thanks! PS-the chicks and ducklings are precious. You are living a life I can only dream of. Hi Suzanne, is there anywhere you know of by you that I can order some homemade molasses?

I like to make them with a big pot of hot tea on the side. Delicious.

The kids asked me just this week if I had made up more "mix" they like the pancakes too. I guess I had better get busy (it is SO easy no reason to ever run out). We will be having yummy biscuits in the morning. Anybody out there put "sugar water" on the biscuits? That how we eat them. Boil water add a bunch of white sugar stir till disolved pour over butterd biscuits, good eats! Your Quick Mix does make the BEST biscuits and I have tried MANY buscuit recipes.

I make a good biscuit that is like KFC's biscuits. But, I don't make them often. Today is National Donut day!!!! (at last MSN says so, on the homepage). LOL Yes, we tie many memories to food and good dishes and have the fondest memories of special recipes my family made...but unfortunately, with our country today, we have a crush on food - high obesity rates. Not good. My favorite biscuit is a yeast biscuit…I haven’t made them, but I do love the taste in a good Southern resteraunt or cafe. I make a good biscuit that is like KFC’s biscuits.

I have the top half of that cabinet now the bottom half I could not get, when my granny died I was supposed to get it..but my aunt would not let me..luckily Granny had the wisdom to let me have the top half about 10 yearts before she died, so no one could say anything...hahah Now I just wanted to tell you that I used your biscuit mix recipe a couple of days ago and My Husband said those were the best biscuits that I had everymade and to be sure to hold onto that recipe. Yesterday my daugther and I also made the homemade poptarts...we are currently munching away on them. They didn't turn out as pretty as yours did but they are very yummy.. Thanks for the great website. I learn a lot form you and I remember things from child I had forgotten as well.
