Brilliant biscuits...and very forgiving. Making these was a comedy of errors. Started out making 1/2 a batch and then forgot that's what I was doing. Had dry ingredients and yeast for half a batch and butter and liquid for a full batch in the bowl. Had to stop, proof more yeast, double all the dry ingredients and remix. Even after all that these biscuits were light, delicious and attractive. Hint: cut biscuits out half the size they will eventually be because they really will double in size, mostly out not up. I've got some saucer-sized yummy biscuits.

I have been in search of a good biscuit recipe for the freezer for YEARS! I have found it! Glory! These are great! I doubled the yeast in them and left out 2 T. of the sugar and they dont rise lots but they do get bigger. Slighlty crunchy just on the outside and light on the inside. PERFECT! THANKS FOR POSTING!!!
