I would love to thank you Brenda!!! I am a newlywed and LOVE TO COOK!!! I'm a southern girl who would never allow a box of bisquick in my house. LOL However when my husband told me last minute my inlaws were dropping by for breakfast I could have died!! I had to spit shine my house, wipe down my daughter (no time to bathe anyone), and had not been grocery shopping. I rememebered running across this recipe and decided to try it... needless to say they truly tasted like my usual biscuits that take forever to make... I will never go back!!!! Plus... they could never tell the difference... my mother in law even COMPLIMENTED them! So you know they had to be good :)

We did not like these at all. They were very dry , and had no flavor. I think these need a good pinch of salt, at the very least/

I only did a couple of things different. I added about 1/4 cup more flour, a little salt, and I used evaporated milk because I was low on regular milk. They turned out great, my kids and me husband loved them and they were very easy.

They turned out very burnt, and I cooked them for the reccomended amount of time. Very plain and bland. Dough was very sticky, even after I added a lot of flour. Will not make again.

It turned out okay. Nice color, good texture, but it didn't have much flavor. Next time, I will use baking soda or salt and mix it in with the dough.

Simply Delicious! It was so simple and turned out perfect for me. No kneading or cubing frozen butter. You can not go wrong with this recipe. They were really fluffy and delicious. The only change I made was to brush with melted butter a couple minutes prior to end of cooking time. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!

I made a lot of modifications to this recipe and they turned out pretty good! My husband seemed to love them. Here are my changes: I only had all purpose flour, so I took another reviewers suggestions and used 1 Tb baking powder and 1 tsp salt (I didn't have any fresh baking soda). I also substituted 1/2 C wheat flower to make them a little bit "healthier," which worked well. Since other reviewers complained about lack of flavor, I substituted 1/4 of the shortening for butter and added a Tb of vanilla extract, which made them smell really good. With a bit of honey on the finished biscuits, they tasted just right! Finally I mixed all of this up in my cuisinart food processor, which was perfect and made them VERY easy to press out (I usually have problems with that stage and end up having hands covered in dough!) They weren't the best I've had, but probably the best I've made so far!

Sorry. But this recipe didn't work for me. They came out rather "short" for me. I didn't use all the milk because they were already so moist. Maybe I should have. I may try again with a bit less shortening.

I read a previous review of doubling the recipe and patting down the dough. These were big hit for my family and so easy. I almost hurt myself eating them, just couldn't stop.

Thanks Brenda for a great recipe. The only thing I did different was cut down on the shortening and added unsalted butter. I entered these in our local fair and won a blue ribbon and $5.00. I have also added cheddar cheese, bacon bits and a little garlic and made cheese biscuits. Another variation is to add a little sugar, cinnamon and raisins and make cinnamon-raisins biscuits. When they came out of the oven I drizzled them with icing.

i have made the recipe as lists and is a wonderful very basic biscuit! a couple times my kids changed up things because of being out of something or another... one time they used snoqualamie falls pancake mix instead of flour and margerine uz they don like shortening or oil and they came out as the sweetest fluffy buttery biscuits i ever had...so i thought to use buttermilk as the liquid and poof that was grand too. the other substiture i remembered if your out of shortening is equal amounts of mayo. (using light is also much more nutritious)

These were just ok. I thought they were kind of dry. They came out a bit crispy, after 15 mins they were looking too brown so I had to turn it down to 400 for the last few mins.

I made home-made jelly for the first time and wanted a quick and easy biscuit recipe to go with them. They turned out to be very delicious! I made food baskets for my family for Christmas and gave them biscuits along with the jelly and other goodies I had made.

This is a great recipe for beginners. I have never made biscuits from scratch and was scared to death even thinking of it. They reminded me of my mom's and my grandma's homemade biscuits. I love it!

These are by the far the best and easiest biscuits I have ever made! For those of you who had flat, hard ones, be sure you use self rising flour. This makes a world of difference. Also, don't roll them too thin, think big and fluffy! I brushed with melted butter for that crispy top and delicate inside. YUM! Don't be afraid to try these awesome homestyle biscuits. Thanks for sharing.

They were pretty plain, the next time I make them i'll try to spruce them up a bit. Maybe with some butter and salt. I'm not real sure what would make them better. I did like them though they were easy and good with butter and jam. They'd be great with gravy too
