I cannot tell you the number of times I have made these biscuits! Right now, I have the joy of sharing these family recipes while visiting with my grandchildren here in Texas. I like to pat the dough into a square and cut them in a grid pattern; that way no dough is wasted and you don't have to reroll the dough. These biscuits are best served warm with butter and honey right out of the oven, but they also reheat nicely.
