All That Biscuity Goodness

All right guys,

So I know muffins are supposed to be next ( and they are I promise!) but the other day when I was telling my friend about scones and how she should check out the Let's Talk for them she said they reminded her of the steps for making biscuits. Now I have never actually made biscuits but I figured that this was cause for research. And after plenty of research it is in fact true that the steps used in scones are the same ones for biscuits. That said I am including some basic biscuit recipes and you can use the Let's Talk for scones if you have any trouble.
