I made these in conjunction with CP's vegetable stew. I'm definitely NOT an experienced or frequent baker myself, but I was very pleased with how these biscuits came out - very light and cheddary. I've always had a penchant for buttermilk biscuits and these turned out just the way I like them. I made no changes at all to this recipe. Flour/buttermilk proportions seemed perfect.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in a little house with my husband and my three "puppies" (all dogs are puppies to me, no matter how old they are). We have no children as of yet. I love to cook, but not to clean, and I won't cook unless my kitchen is clean, so I don't cook as much as I should. Some of my other hobbies are: role playing games, reading, SCA, garage saleing, and sewing. I am a pack rat, but I am trying to cut back on that, and I have far too many kitchen gadgets and cookbooks.(If there is such a thing.)
