Hi, my object is angel biscuits! They have been part of our Christmas tradition since before I was born! My great grandmother made them and we have them every Christmas. After my great grandmother died, my grandma started making them! We still make it every single Christmas, and we never ever forget! They are called angel biscuits because they are really fluffy and they are super good!
I chose this object because it’s important to my family! I also wonder if my great grandmother actually made them during Christmas time, and if not, when did she make them? I hope someday my mom will start making them, so that then she can teach me to make them!
Here is the recipe for these biscuits, in case you want to make them for Christmas dinner!
