I don't know what went wrong! I followed the recipe to the letter (with the exception of substituting butter for shortening, after being reassured by a professional baker that it was ok). The biscuits had a terrible after taste and they were dry. Maybe it was something I did, as this was my first time making homemade biscuits. On the bright side, at least they were tender! :)

This is a really good basic biscuit recipe, but I made a few changes. Many reviews say they are a little dry, so I added just less than 1/4 cup more milk. I don't like baking with shortening, so I substituted butter for the shortening. I also soured the milk with 1 tsp apple cider vinegar and added a few tablespoons of honey to give it a little extra sweetness. They browned a tiny bit too quickly, so I turned down the heat to 425. They turned out great! I will definitely be making them again... My fiancee and I love them with eggs over easy and fried ham!

These were terrible. Made exactly as stated in recipe and they came out looking like porcupines. No taste.

The things I changed. 1) I used coconut oil instead of shortening. 2) I added a table spoon of sugar 3) I used reduced fat milk instead of regular milk to cut down the calories. They turned out sooooo perfect!!!!! Nice and hard on the outside and moist and soft in the inside. But with the coconut oil and sugar makes this so much better!!! Yum yum~~ This is keeper X 10~~~ Thank you for the recipe!!

They tasted great ! In my own recipe, I use self-rising flour and omit the baking powder and salt..a lot easier..I also sour my milk with a tablespoon of vinegar..
