So easy and tasty! Served with bacon gravy for breakfast. This was my first attempt at making biscuits. I normally use the frozen buttermilk kind, but this morning I was all out and DH wanted biscuits and gravy. Not as easy as taking pre-made biscuits out of a bag, but almost :-) Just as tasty and much cheaper!! Thank you!

These come together so quickly and are so tasty I've made them several times in the past two weeks! I hate rolling out dough so when the directions say "flatten" I know this recipe was written for me! I usually use soy milk and margarine so they're not dairy, but I made them the other day with butter and milk and sprinkled a strong cheddar cheese on top. Wow! I use a whisky shot glass to cut them out so I get around 18-24 to a batch.

Hi all! Just a bit about me I suppose... I live in Chicago,IL, the city of big shoulders, one of the finest cities in the world! I spend my days at the Shedd aquarium with the belugas, dolphins, penguins, and otters there (mostly getting wet and dirty!) And I'm also workin' on my masters in marine biology.
I love to cook, and have found Zaar to be a wonderful resource full of great food and great folks... two of the most important things in life :)
Being born in Israel and of Tunisian decent, food is naturally quite important to me.. so this is fun!
