Best Homemade Biscuits Recipe
This is the best homemade biscuit recipe ever. Serve this one with my Cabbage Soup or use in the Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings Recipe.
I found this recipe in an Easter basket full of recipes in a (now closed) Indiana antique shop.
Steps 1 – 3 are clipped from somewhere with handwritten notes: “These are good. Best biscuits ever” is penned across the top of it. They are right!
