"Delicious biscuits! You can change the flavor of these by using different herbs. Try them warm from the oven, split open and buttered. Very yummy!"

These biscuits were delicious. We enjoyed the flavourful biscuits right out of the oven, smeared with fresh butter. Yummy! They were quick and easy to make. Rose beautifully, had great texture, were fluffy and tender. I used ground Italian Seasonings. Thanks so much for sharing DG...I'll be making these again soon.

Really good biscuits. I used French herbes de Provence. These baked up high and light, with a nice, tender crumb. Perfect fresh out of the oven with butter. A real treat.

Great biscuits!!! I did 1/2 recipe and it made 6 beautiful biscuits. I used a herb blend that Kasha sent me from France, so I really don't know what all herbs were in these, but they were delicious!! Thanks for the great recipe.
