My daughter and I made these today to eat with fresh strawberries. I loved the texture! The biscuits turned out light and tender on the inside with a slight crunch on the outside, and just sweet enough that they tasted like biscuits and not cake. The ultimate compliment - they are all gone already.

Very good, perfect for a mound of fresh picked strawberries. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

These bisquits are amazing. I have made them two times in the last week. There are great for strawberry shortcake, but we also had them for breakfast this weekend hot out of the oven with butter and jam. They are buttery and the texture it very light and tender. Simply delicious!!

Great biscuits! I substituted 1/2 cup of sourdough for the milk and they turned out perfect. Will make these again. Thanks for the recipe!
