MY Mama used the back of a big spoon to slather bacon grease or lard on the panned biscuits after she made them up in a big oval shaped wooden bowl . I am just naturally lazy, and it seemed like just turning the biscuits over in the lard was easier than messing up a spoon...She had blackened steel biscuit pans...very dented and worse for wear, but they held many delicious biscuits, Tea cakes, baked sweet potatoes Daddy grew each year and even peanuts 'parched' in the oven of that old black iron wood burning stove. HAPPY memories !
