Notes:

I love this recipe. It's my guessing on the way my mom makes her biscuits. It's so sweet almost like scones! I make this when I'm too lazy to make bread, or when I'm in a pinch for time. Goes great with dinner, jam and butter, and as breakfast the next morning :) not very healthy... But I'm still a fan!
