- DO NOT overwork, handle as little as possible.
- Roll to desired thickness and cut with a floured cutter or bottom of drinking glass.
- (I tend to cut them fairly thick so I never get the maximum 14 biscuits, more like 10-12!).

These biscuits rose up nice and fluffy, and were very easy to make. I have saved the recipe to my permanent collection, but I will cut down the sugar to at least half next time. They are quite sweet for serving along side a savoury stew, but fit the bill for serving with jam. I recommend the recipe, with adjustments to the sugar when necessary.

I thought these were a nice, fluffy biscuit that was quick and easy to make. i personally found them a little on the sweet side, so that's the reason for only 4 stars. next time i'll make them about 1" thick before i cut them. i made them too thin this time and will cut the sugar back to 1/8 cup. all and all a good recipe-just a personal taste issue for me. thanks for the quick recipe.

About me....well...let's see,right now I am a married, stay-at-home Mom to two beautiful children, a 10 year old daughter and a 7 year old son....they are the "lights" of my life, which I think I pretty much spent waiting for them! I feel so very lucky (and truly blessed) to be their "Mommy".
I don't know that I have a fave cookbook, (and I have rarely opened one of the many I have, since finding Zaar.) I just LOVE recipes and have been "acquiring" them since I was a teenager! Actually I think I bought my first cookbook in like grade two or three, a cookie recipe book from one of those scholastic book orders!
