I'm not a fan of cream biscuits, but these were pretty good. They were light and fluffy, and the flavor was mild.

These biscuits are okay, but I've had better. They're a bit too dry for my taste.

I'm not sure what went wrong with these biscuits. I've made them several times before, and they've always turned out great.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my biscuits didn't turn out right. They were too dense and didn't rise properly.

I was disappointed with these biscuits. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor.

These biscuits were easy to make and turned out great! I used buttermilk instead of cream, and they were still delicious.

I'm not a big fan of biscuits, but these were really good. The cream made them so moist and flavorful.
