A NOTE from DR. GHOSH
If you're on a fiber- and residue-restricted diet, these simple biscuits may be just for you. They're both low fiber and low residue, and can be eaten alone or with a meal.

"To save time, I made drop biscuits with this recipe. I increased the milk to 1 cup and dropped them onto a greased cookie sheet. I liked keeping these on hand and reheating them whenever I needed a little something to eat." -Theresa H.
