Wow! Where I'm from, we'd call these tea biscuits. Regardless of the name, they're yummy! The only change I made to this recipe was to cut out traditional round biscuits rather than leave them in wedges. My hubby loved them, and so did I. They were very light and fluffy. A double batch didn't even last us a day!! This one will go in my recipe binder, it's a keeper.

This is now my family's favorite biscuit recipe. They came out nice and flaky. I love the fact that it uses real butter as opposed to hydrogenated fats (Crisco) that so many biscuit recipes use. Instead of using 100% all-purpose flour, I used part freshly ground whole wheat flour AND all-purpose flour - (1/2 cup whole wheat 1-1/2 cups white). Next time I will make sure my "dash" of salt is a couple dashes. Thanks so much for posting this great recipe!

Great flavor and so easy to make. My husband thought they were a little too dense. But if you are looking for a tasty biscuit, this is your recipe!

I made these biscuits last night to top my beef pot pie. I used half butter and half olive oil (we're health conscious) and ommitted the sugar. Then I dropped the batter by spoonfuls onto the casserole. Baked according to the pot pie's instructions, these came out so delicious and flaky and fluffy! Not at all like the recipe I used previously from the Joy of Cooking book (those were like hard lumps). I will definitely be making these again!

So easy to make and has a wonderful flavor. I added 2 more dashes of salt on my second batch and that made all the difference. This is a keeper! Thanks.

I loved these biscuits. They were very light and fluffy. I doubled the recipe and used half butter and half shortening and they turned out perfect. I also rolled then out and cut with a bisuit cutter, but I put them right next to eachother on the pan. It was only necessary to cook them 10 minutes.

This is the same Biscuit recipe my Grandmother made when I was growing up. I only changed it a little bit. Instead of butter I used margarine and for the buttermilk (Grandma taught me this one) I used milk with lemon juice. Hers called for sour milk, which is the same as buttermilk or lemon juice, and milk. She called it poorman's buttermilk. She had 6 kids to feed and she went with what was less expensive. She always had the ingredients but not always the buttermilk. This is a fantastic recipe. I thought I had lost it till I found this one thanks for giving it back to me. With my Grandma now 87 she does not remember and no one else bothered to write it down. A must try!!!!!
