Personal Notes:
This is an old Linebarger recipe developed in late 1800's in Stanton , Texas. Cora Ellen Watson was born January 2, 1899 and passed away August 10, 1999 in Citrus Heights, Ca. Married James Zeddic Linebarger born April 10, 1885, passed away Sept. 3, 1985. She could make biscuits in a Dutch oven over coals that would raise all the way to the top of the oven. She also said wood fire stoves got hot enough to bake a real cake, modern day stoves just didn't cut it. Grandmother of Sterling Linebarger, Historical Society member and current Matagorda County Resident.
