These are wonderful. I am southern and am embarassed to say that every time I have ever tried to make buscuits they came out like little rocks. They could have easily been considered lethal weapons. Thank you so much for posting. Very easy and very good.

A good quick and easy biscuit recipe. For my oven 12 minutes baking time is right on. Thanks for posting.

I just made these, and they are pretty good, other than being a bit hard, which was probably my fault, I think they taste great for my first attempt at home made biscuits.
