This was one of my great-grandmother's favorite recipes. I'm 87, so you can bet this recipe has stood the test of time! I like to make these biscuits often during winter since they're a good complement to any hearty meal...very tasty when served hot with butter!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my biscuits turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly.

I added a bit of chopped bacon to these biscuits and they were amazing. The bacon added a nice smoky flavor.

I made these biscuits with whole wheat flour and they turned out great. They're a healthier option without sacrificing any flavor.

These biscuits are a bit denser than traditional biscuits, but I actually prefer them that way. They're more filling and satisfying.
