I have inherited a wringer washer type contraption that my great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother used for making beaten biscuits. We used to roll to dough (folding over each time)through the wringer at least 100 times before it was judged to be ready. The contraption could be attached to a table or pull out carving board. My mother had help everyday and that was one of her jobs along with her 4 children so the job was done without anyone of us wearing out. Always the biscuits were made for parties using country ham that we cured ourselves. Hi, I was glad to find a recipe, which is “a little” easier (I hope) than mine.
