DROPPED CHEDDAR BISCUITS

            I must start by saying that my Great-Grandmother was the first inspiration I had as a cook. I miss her everyday and I dedicate this recipe to her, and the memory of her making dropped biscuits in a wood stove every time I was with her.

            I do not have much to say about these biscuits except YUM! Some things just do not need words, and honestly, I am at a loss for them. It has been a long time since I have really sat and thought about my childhood and all the time I spent with my Great-Grandmother when I was sick.

            I guess what I hope everyone gets out of this recipe is the love and joy that she brought to me. I Love You Great-Grandma Anthony! I hope this recipe makes you proud.
