These biscuits were easy to make and tasted okay, but didn't rise all that much. It could be because my flour was old, but I don't know for sure. -
This is almost identical to a recipe by Sweet B at www.aldenteblog.com - she recommends rolling them about 1" thick, brushing with melted butter both before putting into the oven and immediately after taking them out, and baking at 375 for 10-15 minutes. I haven't made them yet, so I won't rate them, but will be making them soon! I'll be cookbooking this recipe instead of submitting hers, though. -
I made this to use in recipe #50495 (Caroline's Quick Chicken). Overall, the recipe was very easy to follow but when it came to chow time, I realized that it needed some salt. I'm sure with 1/2 to 1 tsp of salt, it will be great! Since it's so easy to make, I'll make it again tomorrow with that one bit of adjustment.
