Whiskey Biscuits
My grandmother, Helen Forslind

Oustanding oatmeal biscuits! They got the name "Whiskey Biscuits" because I thought they tasted a little like the Manhattans my mom and grandmother used to drink before Thanksgiving dinner. As kids, we would drain the melted ice from their finished drinks.
