The first time I made this recipe was in Feburary 2007, and they are just as good now as they were then. Baking time is still " right on the money ". For some reason I still had to add extra flour to get it to the right texture to form the dough into a ball. But good none the less. Thanks for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) "

These were GREAT! I've never used baking powder to make biscuits. Being from the south and growing up with both parents making biscuits and gravy (they were divorced when I was 4 and now i'm 39) NEVER has any family member or anyone I know ever used it either. I will have to tell them to use this recipe. Note though I did have to add some flour to get the right consistancy and brushed tops with melted butter but other wise followed Marsha's recipe. I'm glad to have found this recipe!
