WHOMP biscuits as you call them are good when you make Monkey Brains. yum yum
I asked the wife of an older friend to write down her biscuit recipe for me:
1. In a large bowl, put as much self rising flour as you think you'll need
2. Add a little bit of baking powder
3. Stir in some oil or crisco
4. Add enough milk or water to make a dough (don't over knead it)
5. Make balls from the dough and flatten a little bit (If you can't make to balls, use a teacup)
6. Place on pan and bake in a HOT oven until done
She's been making them for 40+ years so it's second nature to her. Myself, I'll have to try measuring to come up with amounts and times. Plus my mom always "cut" the flour in with two knives, before adding any liquids.
