This biscuit recipe goes together quickly and is a crowd pleaser. It is very versatile and can be changed up by adding shredded cheddar cheese and garlic (similar to what Red Lobster serves) or savory by adding herbs and shallots/green onion. They work well with a meal or a nice sweet snack by adding a fruit spread of your choice.
