Now biscuits from scratch without self rising flour I can do. I have never attempted corn bread with out self rising cornmeal but if I can make biscuits then corn bread shouldn't be to hard. Other than that I pretty much have this cooking from scratch thing down pat. My grandmothers were old school when it came to cooking so I learned from them as I grew up. Thank goodness for grandmaws or I would really be clueless. Hey what bout syrup for those biscuits? Where we gonna find trees to get that from. Those aren't easy to come by in MS.
