Easy Biscuits recipe

In this post, I will show you how to make easy biscuits. The biscuits will be crunchy from outside and flaky inside. You can always poke a toothpick in biscuits to know about cooking time. You can cut them from the center and glaze with peanut butter, Nutella, cream or even jam, sprinkle some sugar sprinkles and enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea. I baked these easy biscuits for a tea party with friends, everyone loved my biscuits and asked for my easy biscuits recipe.
