Thanks for this recipe! My family requested biscuits with dinner and I had nothing. Found your recipe and whipped it up very quickly at the last minute using fresh whole milk from the dairy farm. They turned out great and my family loved them. :) We added extra butter to them as we ate them with dinner. Will make them again!!!!

Great recipe! It was so easy to whip it up in no time. Modest amounts of each ingredient so I'm sure to have it all on hand at any time. They baked up light and pretty. I just wanted drop biscuits; the muffin tin effect wasn't for me, so I just dropped them onto a baking sheet and 12 minutes later I had just the biscuits I'd been craving. I used margarine and 2.5% milk, and halved the recipe for 6 perfect biscuits. Will make again! Thank you very much for sharing!
