Easy Biscuits For Two Recipes

BISCUITS FOR 2 ( OR 4 )

As you know most biscuit recipes make anywhere from 8 to 12 biscuits. And some time that's just way too much for two ( or 4 ) people.While I was looking through my treasured 1996 Taste of Home Annual Recipes, I discovered this recipe that was sent into them by Sylvia McCoy of Lees Summit, Missouri. While making this recipe, I did make a couple of changes on the way that they were made. But, I don't think it affected the finished product.For higher biscuits, I double sifted the dry ingredients( I've always done that :) )If you have the above mentioned Cookbook,please check page 191 for the original recipe.I know this seems like alot of steps, but it's really easy. :)Submitted to " ZAAR " on October 6th, 2009
