    1 packet of yeast
    3/4 cup of warm water, warm enough to melt the yeast
    mix the oil, salt, flour and sugar stir them to texture and pour in a

    packet of yeast and the water and mix to consistent. Then knead the
    mixture and roll it out to about 3/4" thick then cut the biscuits out.
    Put on a 13 x 9 pan and cover with a kitchen towel until it rises...30
    minutes or less

    Bake 25 minutes at 400 degrees

    The biscuits at Shipman's were on a conveyor belt type
    oven. They kept dropping out!

    Recipes from the Restaurants of Oklahoma City.
    Would these not be ROLLS..rather than biscuits? I like them both...

    Well--you being a General, I will respect that. I do remember the table manners you speak of from the 1950's...smack the boys was the cultural sport back then...

    So few know what a "geek" really is...but--nowadays they all go to El Pollo Loco for chicken rather than the more abbreviated way they dined on fowl in the older days...

    El Pollo Loco does make a good piece of burnt chicken...and usually they have a decent jalapeno to go with it. The beans suck...

    It was a very impoverished area...without electricty, down on the river near the Walker bridge...almost a shanty town at some point...I was told by some Capitol Hill associates that people had lived there whole life there and never been to downtown OKC which they could see right across the river...

    O.K., know where and what you're talking about now. We have had many discussions on this thread about Sand Town off of May Avenue. These areas were talked about under the titles of "Hoover Ville"....Some ways back and/or on the capitol Hill Threads there are some actual pictures of this. I don't remember the name of Walnut Grove but I do remember the area on Walker. My In-Laws own a business in that area and for a long time (1967-1970) there were still people living down there in Cardboard Boxed Shanties.....I'm Sure Carltonskeeper will eventually read this and shine some light on it to great depths.....

    That's kinda what I was thinking. Most of the housing there was just tar paper shacks (shotgun houses). they would blow down and then the entire neighborhood would help rebuild....as time came and went they (the tenants) would find scraps of wood etc. and the houses would be slowly rebuilt. Now, around little Flower, there were houses built that are still there....

    Still some standing and a few in decent shape just a little north of there around SW 5th and 6th Walker, Dewey , Lee area. New highway got a lot of them, though.
