Most biscuits use shortening as the fat and shortening is loaded with transfats, which isn't exactly healthy. I created this recipe so I could enjoy biscuits without the guilt. They are buttery and light. Enjoy!

As ever - I love the way you think. Without the shortening biscuits suddenly become very appealing to me. If you provide the recipe then I know they will be great.
The jelly, too, sounds divine.

This really is the only way to eat them...but i use buttermilk instead which is actually healthier (lowfat) than regular milk...good simple recipe!
