Made thes to go with breakfast and DH has claimed them as his FAV biscuits. That's saying something as I've made a lot of differant recipes that we've enjoyed. This went together easy with no wait time for rising and resulted in a biscuit that was light and fluffy inside with a nice crispy outside. This will be my new go to biscuit.
