I've tried a lot of different biscuit recipes, using lard, butter, buttermilk, different kinds of flours--they never came out with that soft, light touch that I yearned for. Someone suggested I search the internet for Popeye's biscuit recipe since we could all agree those were really good. The internet always delivers! I was skeptical when I read the ingredients--this was nothing like all of the "expert" ones. I searched more recipe sites and did find the same recipe for Popeye's so I'd give it a try. Fabulous! My family tried them and with full mouths declare these were the best ever!
