Great biscuits! Very easy to make. They taste just like the biscuits from KFC.. I wanted to cover them in honey... but I didn't have any. Definitely making these again.

Wow! I just made these like twenty minutes ago and they are Amazing!! They were very fluffy and came out pretty big, bigger than I expected! I replaced the shortening with butter and they still came out great.

I just made these and had to immediately review. I was worried because the dough seemed a bit stickier than what I had expected, but they turned out absolutely delicious! After backing I drizzled them with a little melted butter mixed with honey and we ate them just like that. They were fantastic!

These biscuits are just like the ones my mom makes, that she learned from her mom! The only problem with my mom's recipe is that there is no recipe- she did everything by "feel" and so I never knew how to make them. I know that these biscuits have the same ingredients that she uses, but now I know how to make them! I did take another reviewers advice and use my food processor for mixing- it was incredibly easy and took only minutes to turn out homemade biscuits. No more canned biscuits for us!

I have looked and looked, searching everywhere, for a perfect biscuit recipe. I have been unable to find it....until now! This is the best biscuit I have ever made! I was even out of all-purpose white flour and had to use unbleached flour...and they were still light and fluffy!! I also used cold butter in place of shortening. Thank you for this recipe...I will use it always!

Awesome flavor, shape and lift... my only problem was that they were a little tough. I'm not sure if it was me over-mixing it, or my weird electric oven or the fact that my honey opened the oven door about 40 times "Are they done yet??". I will definitely make these again and try to mix less. I got 5 good sized perfect biscuits and 1 slightly "special" shaped one from the remaining dough. They're all gone and there's only two of us here, so that's high praise indeed!

These are the best biscuits! I make them exactly according to his instructions and they come out perfect every time. I have used them as regular biscuits with dinner, for strawberry shortcake, with jam, and just last night as the topping on a potpie. So great every time. I think the trick really is in not overkneading it. Thanks!

These were ok...my 3 year old didn't even finish one - and he LOVES biscuits. I made them larger but the were still pretty flat - not at all flaky. They did rise a tad...Thanks for sharing!

Well, I tried not to add too much flour, but I always do, so these did not turn out like the fluffy biscuits that the recipe touts. That not to say that they weren't Loved! I kind of think they tasted like a bit like KFC's biscuits, but then again I am not a biscuit connoisseur. We had them with sausage and gravy. Good combination. Easy to make.

You know what is the best thing about this recipe, besides it making great biscuits? Calculate this recipe to 100 or ever how many you want and you have your basic biscuit mix already made up. Then all you have to do is mix in the shortening (or butter) and milk and pop them in the over. Here's a little hint. I could never make good biscuits but my daughter could. She said since I was used to making yeast bread that I kneaded the dough too much. Biscuits, you have to be gentle with them, with love.

Good Biscuits. Very easy to make. The next time I make them I am going to add a bit more salt. Seem to lack taste.

Just okay for me. For biscuits that don't require yeast these were okay. Made good quick breakfast biscuits to serve with syrup. The absolute biggest plus in this recipe was that it was EASY to make with common ingredients found around the house.

Mine didn't rise nearly as much as the picture, so next time I think I'll refrigerate the dough and try it that way. They were still great though!

I don't know just what I was expecting when I made these, super biscuits I guess. They were easy to make, but are just baking powder biscuits. Nothing special. I gave it 4 stars for the ease in making.

Excellent - followed Discobunny's recommendation on the baking powder/baking soda trade-off & buttermilk substitution, and didnt knead the dough. Definitely the best biscuits i've ever made.

These biscuits came out better than any other that I have made. My family doesn't like dense biscuits and these were a hit. I may try to alter the recipe for scones for them. I made them in the food processor and refrigerated over night. Thank you
