  1. These biscuits were fabulous! My daughters thoroughly enjoyed rolling, cutting and eating the dough! We don't like nutmeg very much so I added cinnamon instead. I halved the recipe but really wish I hadn't because we are already down to half a dozen biscuits. Those would have gone as well if it wasn't for the fact that I've had to hide some for DH to try when he comes home tonight!!
