I have a small family here; just 4 people... and I can tell you, all of these biscuits were gone within a couple of days. They are SO fabulous. I dont think I have had a tastier biscuit in all of my days LOL. I added about 2 tablespoons of butter to the mixture for kicks. :) I always do that. We totally loved these biscuits. I can tell you that I will be making these regularly whenever we are having biscuits :) I made these with fried fish and hush puppies! YUM!!! :)
