Butterball Biscuits

Chabear01's Note:

Another recipe from "Home Cooking" magazine. It's the double dose of butter that makes these old-fashioned biscuits tender and flaky inside, crisp and golden outside.

This is one is tough for me to review as the buttery taste of these biscuits was divine and didn't even need any added butter. There wasn't left at the end of the meal (we did cut it in half for the 2 of us) but the texture was kind of crumbly and not the light soft inside we love and heavy. They also don't rise so I see why you said to fill the muffin tins to the top. Wonder if the texture might have been because I over mixed them??? But the taste did not disappoint. A fast, easy biscuit that I was able to get on the table with dinner in minutes. Made for the "Bargain Basement Event"
