Potato Chive Biscuits
Biscuits make a nice addition to a variety of meals. Try these as a topping for my Chicken Pot Pie or as a side with chicken or chili. Of course they’re great on their own as well and make for a tasty snack. Use one-inch cutters to make snack-sized biscuits for small children and babies (and yes, babies will eat them!).
