    I made these biscuits tonight and was very surprised at how wonderful they came out. I can not tell you how many times I have tried to make biscuits and ended up making the squirrels happy and having little poka dots all over the lawn. These biscuits are the best! Thanks

    Basic Biscuits – from Paula Deen, No waiting for rise with this recipe! This is the biscuit recipe she used for the Country Fried Steak & Gravy, which I posted separately She, also, preferred to use lard instead of Crisco! Great tip in step 4 provided by unknown reviewer (NOTE Granny T suggests you increase salt to 1 tsp), I made these biscuits tonight and was very surprised at how wonderful they came out I can not tell you how many times I have tried to make biscuits and ended up making the squirrels happy and having little poka dots all over the lawn These biscuits are the best! Thanks, Can these biscuits be frozen before baking and then thawed and baked?
