Reviews:
These were really good. I made them for my kids this morning. I’m not so much a baker guy, but these were good. They were easy. The biscuits were fluffy and really didn’t need any butter at all.
I have made this recipe many times now, my family really loves these biscuits , the only change I made was I use butter not oil on mine. These are easy to make and fast to cook and sooo good to eat… My family will eat the whole pan as soon as it comes out of the oven.
