not at all like the real thing! a total disappointment! not even remotely biscuit-like, more like a very cakey cookie! -
This can be a 5 star recipe all the way, ecxept I do believe the ingredients need to be adjusted somewhat, so 4 stars from me. After I added the liquid ingredients to the dry, the consistency was that of cake batter, thus prompting me to add more flour. I didn't measure the extra flour I added, but a rough estimate would be about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, just until I thought it was right for a biscuit dough. There was no way I could have plopped the "batter" down and actually patted it out without amending the flour ratio. With that being said, after I got the texture the way I thought it should be, it was the most tenderest dough I have ever worked with, and the dough cut beautifully with a biscuit cutter.Cooked for the alloted time, glazed them with the butter mixture, and let me tell you, they are fabulous. Not a biscuit, not a cake, but somewhere in between. The texture is light and fluffy, even with overworking the dough like I did. When I make these again, I will carefully add the extra flour, monitoring it this time to possibly add less and see how it goes. It definately does need the extra though, just enough to get the dough workable enough to lay it out and knead. Thanks, they are delicious.
