They look delicious from your photo. I gave up on home made rolls or biscuits. Every time I made them, I got hockey pucks. Now its Bisquick all the way.
This looks like a good recipe to try, especially for me since I am trying to avoid a lot of sugar right now! Thanks for sharing, I just might try it out. And thanks for sharing the pix of Kristen's baby! That's SO neat! :D
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3: 13,14

If the doctrine of Christian union is true, then division and sectarianism are a great and prodigious evil, and therefore ought to be abolished. Who then will lay the axe to the root of this corrupt tree to help cut it down?
