My mother never rolled out and cut biscuits in her life. She was the big drop-biscuit queen. She’d drop the biscuits on a pan poured with oil, turning over each dollop of dough in the oil, so they were shiny and saturated before baking. the biscuits would be lightly crunchy on the outside and buttery fluff on the inside. Filled with homemade mayhaw jelly, these biscuits were the reason to get up early on a Saturday, even when you could sleep in.
