I made this with powdered buttermilk, and substituted butter for the shortening. I ended up having to use a little extra flour for some reason. But they turned out wonderfully. I halved the batch and it made 13 - 3" biscuits.

These were awesome biscuits! Even the dough was tasty! I didn't have the self-rising flour, so used extra baking powder and salt. Very tasty. My husband loved them too! Next time, I will leave out about half the sugar, and flour the counter better. The dough was insanely sticky, so I ended up just using my hands. Very, very good.

Don't make this recipe if you're just starting a diet. These are wonderful! And thanks to the others who reviewed this recipe and offered tips about the self rising flour and freezing. Great info and idea. Also, if you don't have buttermilk (which I never do), place a Tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup, add enough milk to bring the liquid up to the one-cup line and let stand for five minutes. I like to mix onion and garlic powder with butter and brush the tops for a little extra flavor.

My family loved these biscuits. I am not great with rolls, so I was a bit nervous. But, I followed the other user's comments about kneading the dough 10 times with flour on the counter and flour on the top, and on the rolling pin. It worked beautifully. Also, remember just to mix until moistened. I wish I could find a roll recipe this easy because mine NEVER rise! Thanks for sharing your recipe and thank to you the other reviewers!

These came out great. Made them for a brunch with the girls and they loved them! They were waiting for them to come out of the oven. The only con for this item is that I used quite a bit of flour when rolling out the dough. It was pretty sticky until I loaded it with flour while kneading. Otherwise, they were perfect.

These biscuits were great! I live in China right now and don't have buttermilk available. I used a powdered buttermilk as a substitute. The dough was really wet and sticky, and I couldn't roll it out. So I just dropped them on the cookie sheet instead of rolling out the dough and cutting the biscuits. Maybe the dough was different due to my substitution but they still baked great and tasted wonderful! I'll use this one again for sure!

awesome recipe! i have been looking for the pefect biscuit recipe for a while now, something to appease my craving when i can't get to the local cracker barrel. IMPORTANT TIP----if you don't have self rising flour, add the additional 2 tsp baking powder and 2 tsp salt as recommended by some of the other reviewers. i have a feeling this is why some people are not getting the proper results. i did, however, omit the sugar. didn't feel that was necessary since i'm making it savory purposes. turned out great. also, maybe b/c i used a whole milk buttermilk, there was a slight bit more tang than i'm used to. i may just stick w/the plain old low fat buttermilk; i just happened to have the whole milk kind on hand and it is much richer than low fat, i'm always tweaking my recipes. also, for those who don't normally make their own biscuits from scratch biscuits-the dough is extremely sticky. don't be afraid. just dump about a cup of flour on your counter, turn out he dough, sprinkle more flour on top and knead about 10x. make sure you flour your rolling pin and you'll have a perfect, soft dough to cut into. i use a soup cn w/the ends cut out and it made about 12-13 biscuits. i brushed the tops w/butter. i may do that after baking next time instead of before. in my oven, i baked for about 18min. just keep an eye for browning. all in all, quick, easy and delicious. a keeper. thanks.

These were great. I made them on the small side and it made a whole cookie sheet. They were very tasty and tender. I substituted 1/2 butter for all of the shortening. I will make these many more times.

A few tips: Use stick margarine instead of shortening or lard. NEVER use any of those creamy tub margarine spreads ( they contain alot of water and aren't fit for baking purposes ) handle this dough as little as possible. too much gluten makes for a terrible biscuit. I use a cast iron skillet in a 400 deg oven as they need to rise up..not out. let them sit out at room temp about 20 - 30 minutes before baking. they will rise better. Take the time to butter one up as soon as you get it out of the oven. enjoy it before serving the rest of them.

I just finished this recipe and it was great. It took a little longer to brown, but it also made the outside kind of hard but when split apart it was nice and soft. I will try this again.

Found this recipe last year. I'm not a "Southern Cook" and had never had homemade biscuits before this. Now my kids (teens and pre-teens) make these at least monthly, without any adult help. They are perfect with our other new find, sausage gravy. thanks!

The recipe is great! I, however, like to use 1/3 c shortening and 1/3 c butter,to keep the flakiness, but to add a buttery flavor! Wonderful and heavenly!!

Sorry but I was really disappointed that they didn't taste good. I may have done something wrong, but I followed the recipe and was bummed by the outcome. It was bland and tasted like I was just eating dough. I'll try again though.

I don't know what happened, but my dough turned out extremely sticky, so I made drop biscuits instead of using cutters. These took way longer than 15 minutes to bake, and even with melted butter on the tops, I felt as if something were missing. They weren't bad, just not what I had imagined. I'll try again.

These biscuits were excellent. I halved the recipe to make 9 biscuits, and they turned out great (though I did have to add a little flour, as the dough was a bit on the wet side). I will definitely be making these again.
