Is the butter supposed to be added into the recipe? Or is it only used for brushing? -
Great recipe-- thank you so much for sending this my way. I love that the dough can be stored for almost a month. These biscuits were light and flaky. I added a small amount of sausage to half of the biscuts, as my grandmother did. Just about a dime-sized piece. I think she would be proud :-) Thanks again.

I learned how to cook since I was young helping my dear Mom in the kitchen.
Also like to combine ideas or ingredients from different recipes to create some of my own, so my dear husband and my family enjoy what I cook.
