Reviews
I did not like these at all. Followed the recipe as written and the flavor was horrible. No one else liked them either so they ended up in the garbage. Sorry, but I tried.
Not bad. I made them in the oven and they turned out great. They didn’t rise up much, but were still very good and much much better than store bought, which have been my go to.
Very good
These came out amazing! The first time I made it the biscuits were a little too salty for my taste so the next time I made them I cut the salt down to 1.5 teaspoons and it was perfect for me! I’ve already sent this recipe to my friends to try lol
Does it have to be a cast iron skillet ?
BOMB!! So easy to make and will definitely be a constant
Phenomenal and easy! My 13 year old daughter made them herself and they were fabulous! Perfect with some butter and honey!
Delicious!!
