When I know times are gonna get hectic, like this past week, I try to get a jump on a few things for the family. I like to have several homemade dishes that the boys can pop in the toaster or microwave plus be time savers. I made a batch of these biscuits and they were just what we needed for an easy breakfast. They are really yummy toasted and when you add an egg with a little sausage or bacon…you are out the door in no time!

This makes only 8 biscuits?
Thanks Ad. It depends on what size cutter you are using. I used a larger biscuit ring to I only got 8 out of the dough. You can do whatever size you like.
Thanks!

Thank you so much. I normally use a 2 1/2″ biscuit cutter and get 12 biscuits out of a recipe using 2 cups flour, so using your recipe for Cheddar Biscuits will probably get at least 15 if not more biscuits. In the picture above, your biscuits do not look very large.
