Love it when I make homemade biscuits AND they turn out! LOL The amount of Tabasco called for didn't give me very much, 3-4 drops per biscuit. Next time, I may melt a tablespoon or so of butter, adding in the Tabasco and brushing over the tops. made as directed, my yield was 9, and mine didn't rise as much because I used a glass to cut them out, instead of a biscuit cutter. Thanks for sharing a winner of a recipe, Celticevergreen!

Yum , I made these for breakfast and they were a delicious treat with sausage and coffee. I reduced the amount of tabasco and incorporated it into the dough (confession - I wasn't reading the recipe and assumed it went in not on top), it gave the biscuits just a little tang that really complimented the cheese. Looking at a previous photo and the amounts in the recipe I thought there wasn't enough so I doubled the baking powder . The taste, texture and rise came out great. I did need to add a little extra buttermilk but that's not unusual since moisture can really vary in flour. I like to pat my biscuit dough into a square and cut them so there's no scraps to reroll and I got 15. Made for ZWT 9 by a member of Mike and the Appliance Killers

After seeing Baby Kato's photo had to give these a try. I was surprised to see it called for cake flour, never tried that with biscuits before but it made for a very light, fluffy texture. I did double the baking soda & as another suggested, mixed the Tabasco with melted butter to brush the tops & added a small amount of the cheese to the top prior to baking. These didn't rise much when baking, but the flavor and texture was great, served to DH with a topping of sausage gravy & an omelet with hot coffee & he declared it a winner. Just enough different version of biscuits to be exciting.
