I used self rising flour, 1 tablespoon butter and about 3 tablespoons more milk. Excellent! Use a good quality four. Bake 16 minutes.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe!!!! When I make these biscuits I double the recipe and freeze most of the unbaked biscuits on a baking sheet so we can have biscuits at a moments notice. My boyfriend says these biscuits are better than Grands Flaky Layer Biscuits that he adores! I do however use a stick of real butter in place of the shortening...
