Holy Cow! Best biscuits I've had in twenty years. These really are southern style. No, its not health food, or gluten free, or made with canola oil, but man if you love authentic southern style biscuits, these are it!! I'm scratching my head at some of these reviews though, they rave about the flavor, then complain about the ingredients used. Which is downright silly and a bit unfair to the submitter since it clearly list the ingredient, the fat content, the calorie count and everything else. This is truly southern style, in the south we use lard, and lots of butter and salt. If you want healthy biscuits, I suggest people do a search for HEALTHY/GLUTEN Free Biscuits. Grandma Mary would be proud of these. One thing I noticed though, make sure that butter and lard are frozen hard, else its going to stick to the grater. I'm going to go scoop up a bunch of tbs of lard and keep it in my freezer now. This is now a new Sunday Brunch tradition. I wish I could give this 10 stars, they really are that good. Thanks Greg!! I've been looking for this recipe for 20 years!! After using this site for the last 6 months in a lurking state, I felt so compelled to rate these biscuits, I had to sign up to let people know, this is the biscuit recipe your looking for and they really are easy and fool proof if you follow the recipe.

So bad for you! So good though. I wouldn't eat these all the time but for a once in awhile treat...I miss Southern cooking. Makes me nostalgic. (: I have to take one star off because I can't eat like this anymore.

Delicious and light and easy! I now have a small zip-locked bag of 1-Tablespoon-sized chunks of butter and lard in my freezer so I'll be ready for our next batch!!!! We're just 2, so I cut the recipe in half - still perfect. YUM. Thanks for posting this authentic southern biscuit recipe.

I followed directions exactly as written, but for whatever reason the overall taste just was not there for me. Tasted very plain: next time I will use more butter (will say they were very fluffy). Not giving up on them; so look for my 4 starts to hopefully turn into 5. May just be a matter of taste too.

I had to use only unsalted butter because I didn't hard any lard or bacon, but used the same measurements, they still came out soft in the middle and crunchy on the outside, I made them for breakfast for a friend, out took only.about 20 minutes from making the dough & baking them. I will make these again. I barely worked the dough I think that's key to making them fluffy.

This recipe wasn't really easy and they didn't turn out great. I will try it again and I might have better results. A fairly good taste, the texture was just a little off.

The best recipe I have found. I have tried many times to make biscuits that taste like my mother-in-laws. My husband said these taste like the ones he had as a kid. I followed the recipe exactly. Will make again.
