After years of perfecting her recipe for a flaky, fluffy and tender pastry, Lesley Riley has become known as "the biscuit darling."

The founder of Mama's Biscuits joined "Good Morning America" to share a sweet, seasonal rendition of her recipe below that's a riff on her classic version that traces back to her grandmother's original method.

Her company takes pride in elevating the southern style biscuit with a "northern flair" and sell biscuits with a range of flavors from sweet to savory.
