Reviews
Reduce the milk to about 3/4 cup. The batter with 1 cup is too wet. Also, reduce the baking temp to about 400 degrees F and extend the cook time to about 15 min. At 450 the bottoms of the biscuits were burnt.
*Crack egg and break yolk in measuring cup and add enough milk to fill to 1 full cup.
