I loved this easy recipe, but I only made it for 6 biscuits since it's just hubby and I. I also used cold butter instead of shortening, since I can't get shotening here in Holland. I patted the dough out and made cut biscuits instead of drop style. I found them flaky and tasty.

my mom use to make this recipe on sunday mornings. i did not change a thing.

Why have I been making Bisquick biscuits all this time when these are just as easy and taste so much better?? I use butter rather than shortening, and sometimes add 1T of sugar to sweeten them up a bit. Since I live alone, I usually make 1/4 recipe to yield two biscuits; I like them best fresh from the oven so I'd rather make them this way than reheat leftovers later.

This is a great recipe, but i admit it do some changes to get more flavour! by changing the shortening to butter, you get a much richer taste. Also, I find it only takes about 10min prep time, not 30 as mentioned in the recipe.

Good dough, plain in flavor. I was looking for a lighter fluffy biscuit type dumpling and used this recipe. Dropped the dough into my leftover chicken soup and boiled for about twenty minutes covered (I like BIG dumplings) and about another ten uncovered. Worked great!

Very easy and very tasty. My husband asks for these every week! I put them in a square baking dish and they rise beautifully.

I have searched high and low for a Baking Powder Biscuit recipe for two years. I remember my mom making them when I was a kid. This one is great!! This is so much easier than the rolled biscuits. A really cool variation is to add 1 tsp of orange flavoring with milk and egg then to "dry" ingredients to this and enjoy with coffee or tea and some friends.

Great biscuits and very easy to make.

I thought they were only ok. i used half butter (salted), half shortening. The flavor was ok. It was a very wet dough as far as biscuit dough goes. As a result it did not produce a flaky biscuit and the appearance was not very attractive, even for a drop biscuit. Ok though for so few ingredients.

We call these "pay day" biscuits at our house because as it gets closer to pay day (read: grocery shopping) we run out of other breads, but we alwayd have these ingredients on hand. I add grated cheddar cheese to min before adding the milk for a little more flavor.

These are great Biscuits- especially when slathered with jelly or honey. I made a double batch so we could have biscuits for breakfast and my kids ate all the extras as a bedtime snack. Great easy recipe. Oh, i did roll them out to ensure they would be a bit more stable for little hands to hold.

These were delicious! I added cheese for more flavour! They were 5 stars without the cheese though!

These were extremely easy to make but they were also extremely dry and bland. I dipped them in syrup and that made them a lot better.

Definately 5 stars for ease of preparation! Mine came out rather flat but I may need fresh baking powder. Overall, tasty and fast...will use again.

Fantastic! I used salted butter to add extra flavour, grated the butter right into the flour, replaced part of the milk with plain 2% yogurt (adding liquid until the dough was quite wet), and scooped them onto the cookie sheet with a medium ice cream scoop. This yielded 16 fluffy and tasty biscuits with a perfect crunchy exteriour. My southern husband said they were perfect!

I opted out of using shortening and instead went with the suggestion of using butter that was frozen and grated. The middle of the biscuits were tender. And the flavor was nice and light. These biscuits were not overly salty or strange tasting as the canned biscuits can be.

This is the same recipe I use for making gravy and biscuits. The only thing I do differently is use the butter flavored crisco. Very yummy! Oh, also I roll them out and cut them!

Excellent and EASY! Very easy to spice up with garlic and cheese.

These are quick & easy, just like how my mom makes them. We top them with butter & mashed, sweetened strawberries.

These are good basic biscuits. Add some garlic salt and chedder and they are very flavorful, leave them the way they are, slather with butter and jam and you have a great breakfast. Plus, everything is on hand so you don't need to plan ahead for these.
