I received a champion ribbon at the county fair with these biscuits. They’re good warm or cooled. They’re great for breakfast or anytime.

    I made these with nonfat plain yogurt 7tbsp lite butter and 1 tbsp regular butter to decrease the fat. They were very good. I accidentally softened the lite butter too much therefore instead of rolled biscuits they became drop biscuits. But it was quicker that way and everyone loved them.
