I followed the advice of others and dropped the biscuits by the spoonful and slightly patted down. My biscuits rose nicely. Very good flavor and texture, (used fresh pumpkin) Next time I'll up the spices a bit.11/15/09

My famliy loves these biscuits. I have made them many times and have found the best way to cut them is to just sort of pat into the desired thickness (we like our a litttle thicker) and use the biscuit cutter. I made them again this Thanksgiving and it worked great.12/10/08
