I made these biscuits this week-end. I am always on the look out for a great biscuit recipe and this recipe fits the bill. They roll nice and high and were absolutely delicous. We did eat them with sausage gravy, but they were even better with eggs, cheese and sausage in between. They have just a hint of buttermilk flavor. I am teaching my nieces how to cook biscuits and this is one of the recipes we are going to use.
