This is how biscuits are supposed to be. Of course, that doesn’t mean they always turn out like mom makes them – there is a skill to it that I’m still developing.

Just curious, why is this recipe categorized as 'hard'?
Remember, don't twist the cutter; just cut into the dough and lift the cutter straight up.
Sounds good to me! I can't wait to try your Mom's recipe!! Thank you!
