"This is a wonderful recipe that you can make up the mixture and store in your Fridge and make up batches of biscuits as you need them. I got this recipe from a girl I worked with who had brought them to a breakfast. I keep a batch made up at the cottage. Quick, easy and so tasty."

A great recipe! This is surprisingly easy to make up and so handy to have mixed and ready to go. I got five portions which I measured into plastic bags and double bagged before putting into the fridge. Made up a batch adding cheese and freeze dried chives to go with tonights supper soup. Not only were there no leftovers the boys were looking for more! The soup and biscuits made for a wonderful evening meal. Thank you Dot for another of your great tasting recipes.
