"I found this recipe in one of my cooking light magazines. These biscuits are easy to make and they have a great taste. I used 3 C. white flour and 2 C. wheat flour and vegetable oil instead of the shortening and they turned out perfect!!"

I knew when I saw the picture and the measurements of the ingredients that this would be the perfect dinner rolls. Will make over and over again! Well done!

These rolls were a great accompaniment to my spaghetti dinner! We loved them! I halved the recipe for 4 people and it was just the right amount! Great bickies that I will make again! Thanks for posting!
