I love these! The only thing I didnt love about these biscuits was the dough was so sticky/wet/gloppy I had to use a lot of flour to get it under control when trying to roll/cut them. Other than that, they made thick, puffy yet lovely bread-like biscuits. When done, I sliced them in half and made my fianc?e a sausage egg biscuit with a little mayo as well as some Frank's red hot sauce for him. He said it was better than McD's. These biscuits are also the dry kind that you will want to use some kind of condiment on them whether it be sweet or savory. I thank Lucky for the recipe. Its definitely going to become a family recipe.
