Awesome biscuits!!! They are so easy yet taste so great. I made them as written, with the exception of adding 2 tablespoons chopped chives, which gives a very nice mild onion flavor. I got 11 nice sized biscuits. Thanks for sharing this great recipe Shrek!! Made for Spring 2013 PAC.

Wow, super biscuits Shrek278. These little babies were the bomb. So light, tender, fluffy and tasty. I love buttermilk biscuits and these do not disappoint. They were perfect, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I served them with butter and homemade strawberry compote for a delicious lunch treat. Thank you so much for sharing this quick and easy to make recipe, which I have included in my Favorites Cookbook for 2012. Kudos. Made for My 3 Chefs - 2012.

Thank you for your recipe. I’ve used it twice now. The second time I doubled the amount of butter to cut in, which was more to my taste.

The biscuits were edible, but they are NOTHING like Bob Evans biscuits. Very mediocre.
