Cheese Biscuits

One of my fondest memories is of my grandmother and her making biscuits. She also made sweet potato biscuits and my favorite cheese biscuits. When my granddad would bring home some sharp cheddar cheese that he bought at the corner store, my grandma would make us cheese biscuits. This cheese is unlike the cheese that we buy today, it would come in a large wheel. One time I went with my granddad to buy this cheese, the store was one of those old mom and pop types. The store owner would cut off a wedge of the cheese from this big wheel and weigh it on the scale and we would take it home to grandma and she would work her magic. We would take the biscuits still hot from the oven and break them open and pour King’s syrup over the tops; gobbling up every bite. I still make cheese biscuits for my family today, but I use a baking mix, I never learned how to make biscuits like my grandma.
