Cowboy Biscuits step by step

Mix all dry ingredients together. Then add the wet ingredients and stir, don't over kneed the bread. Then pull up chunks that are biscuit sized..
Get a cake pan and line with parchment paper, or cover in crisco..
Bake at 350° for 30 minutes.
Optional, smear some crisco on the tops for the golden brown color.
Let them rise until double in size.

Cowboy biscuits are also cooked not in a standard oven, but in the Dutch variety, often over the hot coals of a morning cooking fire. And instead of mixing butter (or lard) into the dough, we're just using it to grease the oven, so the biscuits turn out more dense and cake-like than fluffy. I love bread so when I get a hold of a bread recipe, I lock it up tight. These are really good and are one of my favorite type of biscuits. Note that I said biscuits, not rolls.
