This is a GREAT biscuit recipe! Prep time is even shorter than stated , they go together SO fast and they're tasty little buggers!!! I thought the dough was going to be too sticky to work with but it was just perfect! The biscuits are light and airy and I'm not even a biscuit lover!!LOL Can't wait until my biscuit loving husband gets home and is able to try them!! Thanks for posting my new biscuit recipe!! :)

I live in a wooded hillside area of Los Angeles where it feels like being out in the country. I grew up in Rhode Island, and came to LA after graduating from URI. I recently retired from my job as an environmental specialist. So now I have time to collect internet recipes. My hobbies & interests are aquatics, shell collecting, my cats, feeding stray cats, home improvement projects and cooking.
I love to travel and, years ago, lived in Mexico for several months. My favorite cookbooks are the ones written by Diana Kennedy; they are all great; and I have them all, some signed by her when I was enrolled in her cooking classes. I have a lot of cookbooks; some of my other fave authors and their books are: Madhur Jaffrey (especially World Vegetarian, World of East Vegetarian Cooking and A Taste of the Far East), Faye Levy, Martha Rose Shulman (especially Mediterranean Light, Provencal Light and Mexican Light) and Paula Wolfert.
