Warning: Don't let your grandma's recipe die with her

I was at my aunt's house last Thanksgiving and she asked me to write down my grandma's biscuit recipe. She said 'I've been trying to eyeball it for 5 years and they never taste right.' That hit me hard because I realized I'd never actually written it down either. I spent that whole afternoon sitting at her kitchen table writing out every little detail - the buttermilk temperature, the exact fold count, everything. Has anyone else had to scramble to preserve a family recipe before it was too late?

Honestly, "the exact fold count" is a game changer. I need to do that for my nana's pie crust.

Totally! It's like how nobody writes down their phone numbers anymore until they lose one.
