rhyming recipe for beaten biscuits
 

.... is driving me crazy.

I've seen one and simply can't recall where it was. Anybody seen it?
It's a poem, obviously American, that tells how to make the biscuits.

Can you remember any part of it? Even a phrase a couple of
words long should be enough for Google to track it down.

I've looked back through my "stuff" on beaten biscuits (of which I'm a great
fan, they being one of the early USAian contributions to good food - another
being "Spoon Bread", enough to make the most hardened polenta addict cry out
in quest of more. I find no rhymes, only paragraphs of beating instructions
enough to cause both sadists and masochists to go all a'quiver.

I can't find the whole lyric, but, from Maria Howard Weeden's "Bandanna
Ballads":

"Two hundred licks is what I give
for home folks, never fewer
An'if I'm 'specting company in,
I gives five hundred sure!"

'Zackly the one I've been trying to recall. Thanks. I posted it to the
SavoryFare2 list where there's been a lengthy thread about beaten
biscuits and now you're famous. >

Thanks.
