frozen biscuits

My sister gave me this recipe many years ago, and I used to make it all the time and have biscuits in the freezer. It was easy to do, and I am not sure why I haven't made some up in a long time. I have no idea where she got the recipe because she wasn't a baker, and neither am I. This recipe can be doubled, but knead and roll in 2 parts.
