Yum,,,these are really good! They're perfect with soup of salad. Two of us polished off the whole sheet. They aren't health food, but they're a definite improvement over the regular version. I had a little difficulty with spreading the garlic butter on top of the biscuits. It was a little messy. Next time, I'll probably put all the garlic in the biscuits and brush the tops with the butter with a little garlic powder added. Will definitely be making these again. Made for PAC game.

Great tasting biscuits, these, & they were very satisfying served with a cheesy squash soup that we had! Nice little snacks, too! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in New Kids on the Block tag]
