Shirley's Homemade Biscuits

These biscuits are originally from an old Betty Crocker cookbook that my mom had I think...They are really YUMMY, and especially good with butter and jelly on top, with a nice mug of hot chocolate! Mom used to fix these a lot on Sunday nights after having a huge dinner. Just something to snack on with our hot chocolate... Fond memories for me for sure...These are great for strawberry shortcake too!
