Mmmm! These biscuits are delicious! The texture is wonderful. We liked ours with butter, then preserves, jam, or honey on top... it was very hard to stop at just one biscuit! I think dipping them in shortening made them extra special. I will be keeping this nice recipe! :-)

These biscuits are fabulous! I make them all the time. They're great as a meal compliment or just eating cold with a bit of jam for a snack. Even my British in-laws love them with sausage gravy for breakfast!

5 T equals just about 1/3 C so that is what I used. I brushed the tops with butter before baking them at 475 degrees.

These biscuits came out great...very flaky just like a biscuit should be. Even my husband said this one was a keeper! I followed the recipe as is except I replaced the shortening with butter to reduce trans fat. Will definitely make again and again!

I tried 2 biscuit recipes from this site today and didn't like this one as well as "tea biscuit" recipe. These seemed dry and I rolled to thin, should have rolled to 1/2 inch. A GREAT suggestion by a reviewer I tried was wetting the counter and placing plastic wrap on it to roll the dough out. This really cut down on the flour mess, just pulled up plastic and threw away! Thick recipe was quick to prepare but not enough flavor.

EXCELLENT...a very moist and tender biscuit. Be careful not to over-handle the dough or they will be tough and dry. I patted them to the desired thickness, cut biscuits very close together, and repeated x1. The bit of left over dough I threw away to avoid dry, tough biscuits. I also made a batch with rice milk for my allergic son, they weren't nearly as good. Stick with the butter flavored Crisco and milk. THEY WERE YUMMY!

I've been up since 4:30 this morning and figured what the hay...I'll try to make biscuits for breakfast. My mom used to make the best biscuits in the whole world. Well, these are almost as great and "stupid" easy to make. They take very little time to make. I didn't have any shortening so I used butter instead...worked out great. I brushed the tops with melted butter also. They rose up real nice. Next time I'm going to try with the shortening. I'll let you know how that goes.

Perfect title since these are the same biscuits MY mom used to make! I followed recipe to the tee except I didn't dip in the melted shortening. For some variety, add 3/4 cup grated old cheddar cheese, 1 tsp dried parsley, 1/4 tsp italian herb mix, 1/2 tsp crushed rosemary. Bake as usual. OR: add 1/2 cup raisins, 1/3 cup white sugar & 1 tbsp ground cinnamon. So good & thanks!

Very good! This made a perfect dough. Very easy to work with and the taste was perfection! Thanks! PS reduced salt to 1/2 tsp. and used margarine instead of shortening.

I messed up somewhere along the lines in making these, probably due to the lack of proper measuring spoons etc. so the didn't rise up like the should but they still tasted like baking powder biscuits.
