These were good! I used 1 t. salt, 1/4 c. shortening, 1/4 c. COLD butter diced in small cubes. The dough is sticky - resist the urge to handle it roughly or too much. (Flour your board and have some extra flour on hand.) Lightly kneaded about 20 times, rolled to 3/4" thick and then cut with a floured water glass into 4 rounds, gathered the remaining dough together and shaped into a rounds. (I didn't re-roll.) The last two didn't look the same, but they tasted the same! They rose to about 2 inches after baking 8 minutes - golden on top and bottom. I posted a pic.

Super recipe!! Made a couple adjustments - used cake flour & all-purpose. Also used part butter with the shortening and brushed a little melted butter on the tops before baking. DEFINITELY keep all ingredients COLD to keep from getting hard biscuits and don't overwork the dough...less is best! Great recipe.......certianly will make again.

We liked them. I used butter flavored shortening. I will try half and half butter next time. Made these for the Super Sausage Gravy recipe on this site.

These are the best biscuits ever. Husband ate them up. Added a little vinegar to the milk to make it like buttermilk, and brushed the tops with butter after they came out of the oven.

I have tried several recipes but this one is the best! I cut 1/2 cup butter instead of the shortening. It made the biscuits taste soooo much better!! The family loved them!!!

very easy! I am not the best with breads/biscuits so if I can do it, anybody can. I kneaded the dough pretty well then top with melted butter. They fluffed up great and were flaky! My go to recipe now!

I could hug you!! Thank You! :) As a southern woman it's been my personal embarrassment that I've never been able to make bicuits to save my life. Now I find this recipe and can say I've just made the first biscuits ever that are worthy of eating! I want to add that I brushed the tops with a mix of melted butter and honey toward the end of cooking and they are scrumptious! Thank you again!

These are great. I added them to my recipe box as soon as I ate one. I used a soup can to cut them and used them in chicken over biscuits. Soooo good!

I love these! I have always used baking mix for biscuits because it was easy but I will never use it again!! I used this recipe and added them to my chicken stew for chicken and dumplings...amazing. I don't have a biscuit cutter so I just formed them into the correct shape. Works just as well.

these are pretty tasty, I had to use butter instead of shortening because I didn't have any. But they didn't puff up very well for me. Besides the butter, I did everything the recipe said to...still good, though

These were really good we had them with gravy. I did brush the tops with butter for a bit of extra flavor and they do indeed have a wonderful texture and puff right up =))

These were good, and easy to work with. I made it exactly as written and think next time I'll try using 1/2 butter 1/2 shortening. All in all this was a great biscuit for my sausage gravy.

I had no luck with this recipe. I followed the recipe to the tee & they ended up sticky. I had to add more flour in order to roll them out. Then they didn't rise at all & I ended up with flat biscuits. Don't know what happened!!!!

woohoo I finally found a biscuit recipe that turns out!!! I made these tonight and added some cheddar cheese. They turned out perfect. I only kneaded them for about 5-6 times as others suggested. Will be making them again very soon.

Instead of shortening, I used butter for flavor. I used a food processor to make these. The result? PERFECT BISCUITS. They puffed up in the oven like a dream and they practically melted in my mouth. However, I do like my biscuits a little flakier, so next time (aka, right now!) I'll use half butter and half shortening.
