These biscuits taste buttery and are simple to make. Cut them into jack-o'-lantern shapes for autumn but different shapes for other seasons. They are especially delicious when eaten warm! —Taste of Home Test Kitchen

I've made these biscuits twice. DELICIOUS! I recommend using a larger biscuit cutter (about 3"). I am planning on making these for my Thanksgiving dinner. Nothing can top the wholesome ingredients of these biscuits and I am so happy to be rediscovering "homemade"!

I agree with jtrainer7. I also had to add more flour while kneading them.

I have 10 kids, and all of them loved these!!! The husband LOVED them even more!!! Asking me when can I make them again. I did have to double the recipe, but it worked just fine. My husband wondered if I added pumpkin pie spice next time, how that would taste...? Think I am going to try that!
