These were easy and quick to make. I used the full amt of milk also. I rolled them out too thin but they are good. Made for Fall PAC 07

These biscuits were not sweet at all, so they made a perfect partner for strawberry jam and honey! I did use the full 1/2 cup of milk and the biscuits came out light and fluffy - delicious!
