Good stuff, but I prefer a stronger apple/cinnamon taste

My biscuits did not have very much flavor (until adding a lot more), and I couldn't taste much cider. I used more cinnamon and about 4 tbsp of honey and 1 tsp vanilla. These were delicious dipped in cider, though.

I couldn't taste any of the apple cider and I used the correct amount. It just tasted like a bland biscuit. Maybe it was the brand? The biscuit was moist and the texture was great, but the taste was just not there.

Flavor was good and the texture was light and soft. I'm not sure what I did wrong and I believe I followed the recipe exactly (except sprinkled quite a bit more cinnamon on top) but my biscuits did not rise that much at all. I doubled checked everything and the baking powder is less than a month old. The flavor and texture is good and I have very fresh apple cider that I purchased a few days ago, so I will try again. Thanks for sharing!

These were ok - could hardly taste the apple cider flavor though. Nothing wrong with the overall recipe, but just didn't taste the star ingredient.

I'm so sorry to give this bad reviews but the acv was overpowering, so it tasted like acv and not a biscuit. It didn't cook thoroughly either. I had to cook them for much longer than required. They didn't rise and they didn't brown. When I was making the dough I thought something was wrong because the dough seemed very wet. So I went from there and now I just feel bad that I wasted quality ingredients on these bad biscuits.

Great taste and decent texture. I forgot the cinnamon sprinkle topping. Smart to use the "dregs" of the cider container for this, as they are often too strong/gritty to drink, but work well distributed throughout the biscuits. Just the right amount of butter! Fairness: I left out the baking powder, and they were still edible so that says something...I know how biscuits work so the 4 stars is based on if they had risen!

Fantastic recipe! My father in law makes apple cider every year, and this was a great way to use some. I added cinnamon glaze on top to make a sweet breakfast treat.

Great, easy recipe. Some members of our family are allergic to wheat, for the others we prefer to not use white flour. So I've made batches with whole wheat pastry flour, and also with spelt. Both were great.
