Great recipe! I just added a bit more milk to get a nice soft dough but cooked for the recommended 15 min. and they turned out great! Thanks for another great recipe!

I was caught without shortening last night and scurried to find a cheese biscuit recipe that used oil instead. These are really good, and very easy to make. I did have to add a little more flour, as the dough was too sticky to handle with just two cups. Thanks for posting!

Hi - love most of your recipes. The Best Cheese Biscuits that I just baked, turned out quite heavy - great flavour but dense and heavy - I followed your instructions exactly, too the letter. Ideas to fix if I bake these again? Thanks
