Crispy on outside, great taste and perfect texture inside. Not doughy. Plan on making cucumber/cream cheese/dill sandwiches with them for lunch. -
My DH also made these for dinner. They were very, very good! He was so proud of himself. The biscuits were light on the inside and lightly crisp on the outside. They got a tiny bit crisp on the bottom, but not burnt. I had a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter and we got 10 biscuits out of this recipe. We will definitely make these again. Thanks for sharing. *Made for PAC Spring 2008* -
I made my husband make these last night for dinner and they were very light and fluffy. I hate to make biscuits but love to eat them. The leftovers will be my breakfast this morning, Thanks, YungB! -
Excellent biscuits, they were indeed light and fluffy. Served these great tasting biscuits with Umberele's Recipe#211966 making for a lovely evening meal. Made as posted but hesitated a moment or two before dredging - I followed though and found it made for lovely golden biscuits which tasted as good as they looked. Thank you for sharing!
