Awesome recipe! This doesn't need another rating but I just had to. These are big, light, and a great biscuit. I added some dried oregano as we had these with a little Italian salad and they were a big hit.

Good but a little dry and a little bland, next time maybe I will add some cheddar cheese, black pepper, garlic....

These were great and fast! I wanted them to turn out a little taller (meaning more fluffy/have each one rise more), but with most breads the first time you make them they aren't perfect. I will make these again.

Best homemade biscuits I've ever made! No more hockey pucks for us :o) I used my food processor, pulsing the ingredients as little as possible. I sliced butter flavored crisco & stuck it in the freezer while I prepared the dry ingred. & I used buttermilk instead of milk. I didn't roll them out, just patted them lightly into the right thickness. Be sure to make the dough nice & thick before you cut them. They turned out soooo tender & very flavorful! Thanks for the recipe!

This is such a good, fast, SIMPLE recipe! My 1st attempt at homemade biscuits and, while they didn't rise to the fluffy heights I had hoped (I think I may have let them sit out too long before baking), they are delicious and versatile. Love that I keep the staple ingredients in my pantry, so I'll always be able to make these in a pinch.

I served this as a side, and I could've sworn that if I hadn't told my family there was more food to come, they would've eaten this as an entree. They even said it was "way better than KFC," which made me laugh-- they love KFC biscuits.

MMMM MMMMM MMMMM!!! Biscuits are now one of my favorite foods! I'm in Germany right now, where I eat fresh bread from local bakeries every day, but I decided to try baking biscuits for fun, and I am amazed - they are even better! I had forgotten how wonderful they are!

These were the first time I made biscuits from scratch. They were phenomenal!! I mixed the dough just enough for everything to come together and then kneaded for about 5 minutes. I didn't need the full amount of milk, used about 3/4 cup. The biscuits came out so fluffy and soft! I will be making more tomorrow for biscuits and gravy! Yum!

These came out huge and fluffy for me and were a big hit. I read the review that said not to manipulate the dough too much after adding the milk and that is what I did- mixed just to combine and then went straight to kneading. Will definitely make again!

I did use goats milk and spectrum trans fat free shortening. Instead of rolling, I just used a #12 foodservice scoop and got about 5 1/2 biscuits. I used a stand mixer to combine the ingredients. Made it easier and still got the delicious taste.

I love this biscuit mix, I've also used it for dumping by adding a little more milk about 1/4 cup.

Fluffy, easy, delicious. Two things to note: keep your butter cold, and only add as much milk as you need to bring your dough together. I added almost the entire cup and my dough ended up a little too moist. I got it back to a workable moisture level but it would have been easier if I had just added the milk more slowly from the beginning. Also, I had a little bit of dough left over so I made a mini batch of monkey bread. It was FANTASTIC with this recipe! I'm going to make this again tomorrow and perhaps add a splash of vanilla to the dough for a new batch of monkey bread. Yum!

They were great! I cut the milk to 3/4 cup instead of 1 cup because it was humid outside. They turned out fantastic. I served them staight out of a cast iron skillet and i put cinnamon and sugar butter on top. these were better than the bisquik ones!!
