So simple and easy to make! I rolled mine out thick and got thick biscuits. About 2" thick. Also, I did not have shortening, so I used vegetable oil. They were not as fluffy as my grandmother used to make them, but still delicious.

These were incredibly bland - an okay vehicle for strawberries, jam, molasses, or honey, but very disappointing on their own.

Definitely needs salt. Rather heavy. Would not make again.

These biscuts have no flavor. I had to keep them in the oven for 30 minutes and they were still doughy in the center.

Our biscuits turned out great! We served them with a country gravy recipe found on here and everyone loved them. The first time I made them I used a left-over oil blend from frying vegetables. The second time around I used regular ol' shortening with a wee bit of salt. I used whole wheat flour instead the second time and it still turned out great.

These biscuits were delicious! The only problem was the dough was super sticky and rolling it 1 inch thick was impossible. I just spooned it out on the cookie sheet, like cookie dough. It also made way more than 8 servings, so there was a lot of extra dough.

This biscuit tasted fine, however I had to add almost a half cup extra flour. The tops did not get golden and I had to put them under the broiler for a few minutes. The bottoms were a tad too crunchy.

These biscuits were a nice texture, but I'd recommend to add a little salt because they were kinda tasteless.

My husband's great grandmother made the best (so I've heard) buttermilk biscuits on Earth. She passed it down to his grandmother, she passed it down to his mother, and she passed it down to me. I decided to be prissy and find another recipe for buttermilk biscuits. These aren't as good as Mawmaw's. My husband says they taste like the biscuits he loves at a small country resturaunt, but I think there's something missing. Strange because Mawmaw's recipe only calls for 3 ingredients: self-rising flour, shortening, and buttermilk.

These biscuits had a very good flavor. I didn't have self-rising flour so added 1 1/4 tsp baking powder and pinch of salt for each cup flour. They didn't darken but were a light golden brown.

Very good with great flavor. A little more crispy on the bottom than I like but next time i will try 350 instead of 400. This is the first time i have found a recipe that worked for me. I usually use a mix. Thanks very much

The biscuits were nice and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. By themselves they had very little flavor, but with a little sausage gravy or some honey and butter, they were ok. I did not roll out the biscuits and cut them, but I formed them loosely by hand to avoid overmixing. Even after doing that, the biscuits did not rise very much. I also had to cook them a few minutes longer under the broiler to get the tops to brown.

Texture was OK, but not as light or fluffy as I would have liked. Also, the biscuit was pretty much flavorless! They may be palatable if soaked in gravy.

Delicious biscuits!! These biscuits taste like the ones my southern grandmother made when I was a child. My daughter loved these and I will definitely be using this recipe again and again.
