People been asking me what kind of biscuits did Ma make. HA HA! All kinds! No one makes them like Ma did, but if you’re a lazy old writer and want to cook instead of write, well, who am I to tell you that’s a dumb idea, and you’ll never make them as good as Ma.

Ma Boggins’s Coffee and Cranberry Biscuits

- Half a little spoon of Dr. Pinsnap’s Magic Salt Dust
- Half a glass of fat
- One egg
- Two thirds glass of milk (pig or cows preferred)
- One big spoon of smashed coffee beans
- One baby handful of dried (or fresh) cranberries

When it’s nice and wet, beat it with your fists. Pow Pow Pow! BOOM! Then use a round cutter to make flat biscuit doughs. Bake it at 450 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Serve warm with a saucer of apple peanut butter gravy!
