Some complained about to much liquid and a very sticky dough, but if you look in 'method portion' she mentions only adding 1 1/2 cups liquid, although ingredients list shows 2+ Cups liquid. Anyways, I didn't have buttermilk or sour cream so I used 2% plain greek yogurt instead (1 1/2 cups) and 2 tbsp of almond milk. This resulted in a workable dough that easily pressed out to cut. These turned out sooooo amazing!! Crispy outside, perfectly creamy and delicious inside. I will make these this way from now on. I am guessing if you made this as the 'Method' portion describes with 1 1/2 cups buttermilk or sourcream they would be just as good.

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
