LTS.. my husband, who is not Davetnova, loved the biscuits but suggested instead of a 1/4 cup of crcaked pepper that it be an 8th of a cup for people who are less inclinded towards pepper. I say 'fooey' go ahead and put in the 1/4 cup of pepper The biscuits are now ALL GONE. No complaints from any who tried them. I served them with Beef & Barley soup w/Rutabegas (Swedes).

Only thing to remember, make sure you wait until the tops are browned a bit to take them out or they won't have the crumbly, melt in your mouth texture that batgoddess was looking for.

I make part of my living converting old recipes and/or creating new ones from descriptions. I'll gladly accept challenges from Mudcatters and if I can meet the challenge, I'll post them for free to share with everyone. I enjoy thinking them through. The Sherry-Pepper Biscuits were too easy! I did it mostly to get rid of a bottle of sherry I had taking up space in the cupboard.

Another suggestion is to add some grated Stilton to the Sherry-Pepper biscuts for a sharper taste. I could see doing that. About a cup of grated Stilton or even perhaps Double Gloucester with Onions.

If anyone replicates my recipe, please PM me at: Dave'sWife - I'd be very interested in the feedback.
