I asked Mom to write down whatever she could remember of what people did when someone got sick and she gave me the following:

What is the difference between biscuits and scones?
Answer: Scones have eggs. Biscuits don't.
MIXED PEEL BISCUITS
3 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup shortening (try it! It is much cheaper than butter and it works.)
1/3 cup mixed peel (find this in the Baking Needs aisle)
1 cup milk (or milkadamia if you're vegan)
Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
Start oven preheating to 450.
Put flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in food processor. Run it a few seconds.
Add shortening that is at room temperature or from fridge. Process until all mixed up.
Turn into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the milk.
Drop by large spoonful onto cookie sheet. Shape each one lightly into a biscuit.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Let sit 5 min before serving.
(If biscuits are served too hot and you spread them with butter, the butter melts too quickly and makes them mushy.)
Slice and toast any leftover biscuits. Delicious!
