INSTRUCTIONS
Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter. Add
the vanilla extract and a tiny amount of water SLOWLY to form a heavy,
thick dough. (The amount of water varies by the amount of humidity in
the air; never a given in Florida!) Shape dough into balls, and wrap
around various types of nuts. Bake at 275 degrees for 30 minutes. (If
you add too much water, the cookie will flatten out with an obvious,
single nut in the middle. But they still taste good!) Vicki's notes:
When my brother and I were young, Daddy made "surprise" biscuits for a
special breakfast. They were just refrigerated dough, but he would
always sneak something into the middle, such as jam, peanut butter,
you never knew! We adored the surprises, and I guess this was my
mother's way of doing the same thing... From Gemini's MASSIVE
