These were great although I did alter them a bit. I added 1t. sugar and 1t. lemon juice to the milk to make buttermilk. Easy and delicious. Thnaks!

These biscuits were easy to make and even easier to eat! We ate them with butter and jam for breakfast. They were a bit salty, crispy on the outside and flakey on the inside. Thank you for the recipe.
