I've made this recipe several times now, so it's about time I review it. I always follow the recipe exactly and have never been disappointed with the results. I used to use a buttermilk drop biscuit recipe because I hate rolling out the dough and cutting out biscuits, and they always end up tougher in texture than I want. Whoever invented this method of baking buttermilk biscuits is a genius. Pure and simple genius. Minimal kneading (I usually don't do it as long as the recipe states--just until it's all mixed together), pat it into a square, cut the squares and pop it in the oven. They come out tender, flaky, moist, and delicious. Plus, it is SO easy to mix them up and bake them off just before your meal is done--it takes almost no time or effort whatsoever. The best tasting biscuits I have ever had and the easiest, most ingenious recipe I've come across in quite some time. Try these! They are fabulous. So, thank you for posting this recipe!!

Perfect! I've made these biscuits w/o making any changes to the recipe. The only change I have made is that I grate the cold butter. I do that for all of my bread/crust recipes because, this way, it is a lot less time consuming to get the right texture. These taste similar to the Pillsbury packaged "Country biscuits" but much, much better for you! We eat these about once a week at my house.

Holy cow these were awesome!!! My hubby said they tasted like the KFC biscuits. I did forget to put the salt in but they were still so yummy. I brushed melted butter over the tops when they came out of the oven.

These were tasty. Good flavor, but mine didnt rise as much as I thought they would. I did use half whole wheat flour so maybe thats what did it. I had these with the "chocolate gravy II" from this site. Sooo tasty! I also used these to make the "teddy bear biscuits" from here for my boys.

Yum! I love these! They kind of have that same goodness as pie crust. Perfect with everything.

Tasted very strongly of baking powder and took a full ten minutes longer to bake than the recipe called for. Even cutting the kneading time substantially, they still came out tough as well.

Quite a good biscuit. A bit bland on its own, but pretty good with honey.

I love this recipe- it is really the only biscuit recipe I use anymore. DO NOT KNEAD FOR TWO MINUTES- I actually knead them in the bowl until the dough holds together. Then I press into a square pan and cut with a knife into the desired size. These are really great, plain, simple biscuits-- great with anything... we're having them with sausage gravy tonight!

This was a great recipe. Tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. I didn't change a thing except I didn't mix it as long.

Absolutely wonderful biscuits! Used the grated butter trick, worked like a charm! Other than that I followed the recipe exactly!

These were delicious! I did follow the tip from other reviewers suggesting to grate the cold butter with a box grater into the dry ingredients. I drizzled honey on the top and they were well received by adults and children.

Oh how I love these biscuits! It is perfect as is. Some other cooks have suggested to double or increase the amount of butter but I noticed that when I do that the dough does not rise as much and is just too buttery. The only suggestion I have is to freeze the butter and then shred it to help cut it with the dry ingredients. A great recipe, thanks for sharing!

This is our #1 biscuit recipe. Flaky and delicious!!!! These don't have an over-powering baking powder/soda taste at all! John 3:16

I didn't have buttermilk, so maybe that's why I didn't like it very much.

I really liked this recipe, it works really well for biscuits and sausage gravy. I did separate my biscuits the second time I made it, and it didn't seem to really make any difference.

Good biscuit recipe, not enough lift in my opinon. Great flavor and texture though. Will make again.

I can't say these our my favorite. I'm going to keep looking for a biscuit recipe. They weren't bad. A little dense and I recommend making these big. Give them a try others love this and they are easy.
