These biscuits are so easy to make and they taste delicious! I love that I can make them right on the stovetop, which saves me a lot of time and energy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my biscuits didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These biscuits were a bit dry for my taste, but they were still pretty good. I think I might add a little more butter next time.

I was skeptical about making biscuits on the stovetop, but I was pleasantly surprised! They were just as good as oven-baked biscuits, and they were so much quicker and easier to make. I'll definitely be using this recipe from now on.

I've tried a lot of stovetop biscuit recipes, but this one is by far the best. The biscuits were cooked evenly and had a beautiful golden brown color. Definitely a keeper!
