Our Version of Bojangle's Biscuits

In a recent post, I whetted your appetite with some photos and descriptions of our quest for The Best Biscuits in the World! After trying many a recipe over the years, we've made these twice now and they've turned out flaky, buttery, and scrumptious! Not only do they taste good, they look photo-worthy, and they are not difficult to make. (If it has too many ingredients, or too many steps, or seems too complex - I generally skip it! I need simple!)

So without further adieu, here is the recipe! Try it for yourself and tell me what you think! We also served these as leftover-Easter-ham biscuits! Yummmmm!
