This is the best biscuit recipe I've ever tried. They always turn out perfectly. Bake up tall, light, and fluffy! It's the only biscuit recipe I use.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These fluffy biscuits are light and delicious. We have never added an egg to a biscuit, but it works well. The outside gets slightly crisp while the inside is fluffy. Easy to make, these homemade biscuits are perfect for an occasion. You may never buy canned biscuits again.
