It was Sunday morning. There was a potluck brunch after the early service and I had nothing prepared yet. Oops! Quick, Mel, think fast. What could I make in less than 30 minutes? Fresh biscuits, of course! This was the first time I had used this biscuit recipe, but it was so fast and easy I hope to return to it again and again.
These biscuits are perfect moist and peel-apart flaky. They are great served fresh from the oven, topped with butter or honey or your favorite jam. I'd love to do a sausage gravy and biscuits breakfast with these sometime as well! Yum!
