I love angel biscuits. Can't wait to try this.


My granny called them yeast biscuits. Plan to try some next week. Good post!


I love angel biscuits! :) My Mom used to make these when we were growing up!


Oh, yes, we enjoyed these! Stacked them with bacon, cheese, and egg, and the leftovers next day weren't bitter.


I have been looking for a good biscuit recipe for years! This sounds so good. What a great recipe, Jett! (Stacking them with bacon and cheese does sound good, doesn't it?) YUM! Thanks so much for another wonderful recipe! Ohh apple jelly, too! Woowoo! Heavenly!


My best friends mother made the best angel biscuits in the world but when she "shared" her recipe, it was obvious she left SOMETHING out. She swore not. For Beth and I they came out like half the size and none of the taste! I threw that one away YEARS ago but will hopefully try yours KNOWING you have all the ingredients. Thanks!


Well, I'm more of a griller than a baker but these look like something I need to coerce my wife in to trying. She's the baker! Thanks. These look great.


Good for Strawberry Shortcake!


I used to make these all the time and lost the recipe......my Hero!


I just got these out of the oven and they taste scrumptious and raised up very nicely. Thanks!


Found these lookin for the gingersnaps. Could be in trouble now. I see the calories a comin and they're headed for my belly!! I loooove biscuits but have never tried a recipe that I'm gaga over. Gonna have to give these a try and make bacon 'n eggers out of them. Thanks!

These biscuits would be perfect for my latest creation Strawberry Short Cake Sundae With Granny Smith Apple Glazed With Raspberry Jam Recipe
Thank you, now I have a recipe to make them from scratch.
Have a nice day
