Wasn't the best I've ever had, but definately a quick recipe to some biscuits that taste good when you are in a hurry.

These are wonderful. I am southern and am embarassed to say that every time I have ever tried to make buscuits they came out like little rocks. They could have easily been considered lethal weapons. Thank you so much for posting. Very easy and very good.
