  1. We love these biscuits. I’ve made several times and they are on the menu for today. I use buttermilk and top them with melted butter the last 5 minutes of bake time.

  2. I just made these. I actually only had about 1/4 cup basil and I thought it was a good amount. I think I probably would not have liked them very much if I had used the full amount of basil, as the flavor would have been very strong. I also felt that these were very salty. I'm just not sure I can cut back on the salt and still have them come out right... I don't have enough baking expertise to know how adjustments to ingredient quantities affect a recipe.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
