Can see why they are called Angel Biscuits!! Loved the added flavor from the yeast, totally different flavor then my normal baking powder biscuits. I made 1/4 of the recipe for the two of us and using my biscuit cutter, I got 6 nice sized biscuits, so I would guess that this recipe really makes about 24 biscuits. Thanks again for being such a wonderful lady to adopt for Fall PAC Event!!!
