These are truly light, fluffy and delicious biscuits. My family loved them! Watch the cooking time on them closely. The time called for was just a bit too long in my oven.

Delicious and nicely textured biscuit. I substituted powdered buttermilk. Had no shortening and used all butter on a hot, humid day so they didn't rise very high.

These were excellent! Followed the previous reviews and only needed the bread about 4 times. I also glazed the top of the biscuits with a garlic/butter/parsley mix and they were FABULOUS! Will use again.

I had never made biscuits from scratch in my life until I made these. Perfection!!! I put the bowl of dry ingredients into the deep freeze for 30 min before making to ensure it was all cold. Following other suggestions I used 1 teaspoon salt, buttermilk instead of regular milk, and grated frozen butter into the flour instead of shortening. I only kneaded it 4-5 times until I was able to roll it out, then straight into the hot oven. My visiting mother-in-law is a life-long native Texan, and she admitted they were as good as any she has ever had. High praise, from her!

LOVE these. But I did 8 TBLs of butter, 1/3 cup whole whipping cream, 2/3 cup of milk instead. VERY yummy. Also, 1 egg whisked with some whole whipping cream for an egg wash. Perfect!

This was my FIRST time making biscuits from scratch! SUPER EASY!!! I did use butter instead of shortening b/c that's what I had around but, they came out AMAZING! They were fluffy and flaky and my husband and daughter LOVED them. I will most definitely make these again!!
