Kay's Biscuits

This is my mom's homemade biscuit recipe; I made them this morning and noticed that my recipe card looked faded. I decided to go online and see if I could find a free template to redo this recipe. Anyway, since I had the recipe out already, I decided I'd share it. This recipe makes about 6 biscuits (so if you want more, you'll need to double everything).
I love these biscuits--they're plain, they kind of crumble when you eat them...they're not like canned biscuits at all; I thought it might be easier just to post a picture of them so you could see. They're wonderful with any kind of butter & jelly or I also love them with honey. Enough rambling--enjoy! :)
