As you know most biscuit recipes make anywhere from 8 to 12 biscuits. And some time that's just way too much for two ( or 4 ) people.While I was looking through my treasured 1996 Taste of Home Annual Recipes, I discovered this recipe that was sent into them by Sylvia McCoy of Lees Summit, Missouri. While making this recipe, I did make a couple of changes on the way that they were made. But, I don't think it affected the finished product.For higher biscuits, I double sifted the dry ingredients( I've always done that )If you have the above mentioned Cookbook,please check page 191 for the original recipe.I know this seems like alot of steps, but it's really easy.
