Cream Biscuits

So simple, but sooooo delicious!  I even added cheddar cheese to them tonight and made them even better! :)  This is a Paula Deen recipe but I have added my own touches to make these just perfect!  You don't have to pull out the biscuit cutter or rolling pin.  Keep it simple! :)  I just used one of my children's juice cups for that perfect circle cut.  I didn't use the rolling pin either.  I just pressed it out with the palms of my hands. :)  I can start these and bake them in a flash.
