  1. My sister gave me this recipe years ago. I love these. Thanks for posting.
     
  2. Lovely and extremely tender. I did the whole thing in the food processor, sotpping when the dough formed a ball. Works for me everytime.
     
  3. These turned out wonderful the first time I made them. Easy to make, quick, moist and they rise so well in the oven. I think I will experiment a little to tweek a little more flavor into it, maybe make them onion or cheese biscuits. Thanks for the recipe!
     
  4. This is a great way to fix biscuits! They came out nice and we ate them up with butter. I served leftover roast beef and gravy on my DH's biscuits and he loved them. Thanks Cookin!

<p>A Very Happy Stay At Home Mom!!!! I have a soon to be 11year old that lives with his dad, his name is JayJay, and 3 living at home with me, and 1 on the way....I'm lovin' life! Ashton will be 8 in January, he's the smartest kid I know! Wrylie will be 6 in February and he's got more passion and caring in his little pinkie than most adults I know!!! And my very personal pride and joy Hennessey. She was born on the 27th of September 2007 and she's my little dollbaby. I love being at home with my children..love paying for ALL the stuff my 2nd grader brings home...soccer fees, and basketball fees, and book orders...I love cartin' my kindergartner around, and then coming home and cuddlin' with my little girl, and shopping for her favorite thing...shoes. My husband and I are as tight as 2 people can be, and I hate it when he leaves for work and can't wait until the clock strikes 4:30 because I know that means he's on his way home. Life is good. I couldn't ask for more.</p>
