I have to say these biscuits are just like my grandmother used to make. I used the suggestion of adding 1 tbsp sugar and 1/2 tsp salt, also used whole cup of buttermilk instead of 2/3 c. My granny made the best biscuits and unfortunately never got a chance to teach me how to make them. I have looked and looked for years for recipes similar to hers and this one is it! They tasted exactly like she used to make!

Hands down the best biscuits I have ever had!!! My husband said they were better than his mothers...and he always brags about those! Thanks for all the suggestions. I have made this with skim milk and buttermilk. The skim gives it a lighter texture and taste...the buttermilk makes it taste just right. I use the measurements in the reviews for using all purpose flour and add a pinch more salt and sugar! Brush with BUTTER before baking and again after! (No one is on a diet here!)

These are great... I make them all the time. My suggestions to those interested... moisten your hands with oil and then form the dough into decent sized biscuits (I never flour my hands anymore). I would also suggest... do not overwork the dough or the consistency of the biscuit changes. Great recipe... yummy biscuits!!!

These were heavenly...I will never buy store bought biscuits again! (I did have to add about 1 cup buttermilk to get the dough to the proper consistency.)

So simple and good:)! I didn't have self-rising flour so I made my own. 1 cup all purpose flour + 1.5 tsp baking powder + 1 tsp salt.

good recipe,easy to add other spices or even meat to{bacon biscuits or garlic biscuits-yummy}thanks

Very good & very easy. Subbed whole milk with lemon for the buttermilk. I usually only use real butter but with all of my Thanksgiving baking I am out so I used margarine. Added a little sugar. Thanks!

Wonderful! Buttery, soft and so easy. My kids loved them. I used a timer to be sure they wouldn't over bake and they were perfect.

This recipe is extremely flat, and I followed it thoroughly. Perhaps this biscuit dough would be good rolled out thin for a pot pie crust but it does not make a good flaky biscuit.

Easy, quick & good! I was attracted to this recipe by the photo by MommyFromSeattle and followed her suggestions about adding sugar & salt. I rolled the dough and made about 10 smaller biscuits. They didn't rise up real high, but they were light and soft inside with nice crisp edges, and were surprisingly flavorful.

I'm wanyed some biscuit this morning while me and my husband made breaksfast.So i got on this web site and was looking for some biscuit.Let me just say that this recipe is a keeper and its so easy to make its deelicious with some gravy Thanks a million for this butter biscuit recipe.

I've never been able to make a decent biscuit....but this recipe was literally a piece of cake. They turned out De-Lish-Ous! Will definitely make again. For the record I did use powered buttermilk and a dash of salt. Simple and very good. Please try, you will not be disappointed :)

Super easy to make. A good base recipe, but definitely needs more flavor.

Superb biscuits. (Add 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt for more flavor). Buttery, light, flaky, simple and super quick. The tip about shaping the dough into patties and baking in a cake pan was perfect. I brushed the top with a little butter and it came out golden and flavorful. I always use real butter when baking and I think it makes a big difference versus using margarine. Baked at 425, 18-20 min. This yielded me 6 large biscuits. I've made the J.P. Big Daddy Biscuits twice and they came out hard, dense, flat - not good and definitely not fool proof. This recipe is FOOL PROOF. Just don't overmix or knead. I also always need about 1 cup buttermilk, versus 2/3.

Great last minute side or breakfast fix. It's quick and easy and foolproof.I used sourcream and added a little sugar and salt. It turned out great.

SUPER EASY AND FANTASTIC BISCUIT RECIPE! FINALLY A RECIPE I CAN WHIP UP IN A MINUTES NOTICE..AND ONE YOU CAN BASIC
