This is my grandmothers recipe too we love it! Tip for forming the logs. Use waxed paper to press and form the mixture into the log shape. It is very very sticky and the waxed paper helps so much. Then wrap in a fresh piece of waxed paper and then foil. The two layers help it to stay fresh and not dry out. Good stuff!!!!
I’ve used the laminating technique for biscuits for years and it results in nicely raised biscuits. But I’ve learned never to add the milk all at once. If you do you’ll have a sloppy mess that will be impossible to work with. I probably used about 1 cup of milk to make a sticky but workable dough. I baked them according to the directions and the biscuits were slightly over-baked, not as tender as I would have liked. Next time I’m going to lower the temp to 425 so the outside is not so crusty.
