Enjoy these biscuits for breakfast and tea. OR, add some whip topping and berries to treat it like a shortcake. David even chose these to be his birthday treat! When his birthday got close I should him my desserts pinterest board and asked him to look through all the ideas to choose the one that most excited him for his birthday. I was a little surprised by this choice. We are in the newlywed phase and I am still doing the very fun learning so much about him.
