This is a great recipe! My husband loves these. I make up the recipe as is but I make the biscuits twice as big so we can make breakfast sandwiches. I have used different types of butter/oil that I've had on hand. I works well with vegetable oil and it makes them flaky. When I use shortning or butter, it makes them more fluffy. I usually add 1/2 teasp. more of baking powder when I am making big ones. It helps to keep them from being so heavy.

These were very good just make sure you make then at least 1/2 an inch thick because they don't rise much but they are a great standard biscuit

I had no problems with this recipe! The biscuits were light and fluffy, and were wonderfully crisp on the outside. I personally prefer lighter biscuits, so I reduced the baking time by one minute, and they came out perfectly. I had some leftover feta in the fridge, so I mixed some of it into one of the biscuits, and that also turned out well. I definitely recommend this recipe! Quick and delicious

These were good but not great. I'm from the south and it's just hard to match some of the biscuits around here. These were fairly flat but had a nice crispness to them. Not quite sure I'd dip them in shortening again.

This was a REALLY EASY recipe but the biscuits weren't as fluffy as i thought they would be. They were a little hard too. I used regular shortening so they were bland. I'd recommend using butter-flavored shortening.

This recipe was simple, and the buscuits turned at light and fluffy even at 7,000 ft. I did not adjust the recipe at all, and found the flavor bland. Next time I'll try buttermilk and make them a little thicker. A great base recipe to work with!

This recipe is excellent. It's very easy to make and doesn't take a lot of time. The only change I made was doubling the amount of baking powder. The biscuits turned out really fluffly and made an excellent addition to the meal. They even tasted great the next day.

This is an easy and very good recipe, have used it several times now already. I started using butter instead of shortening. Double or triple the recipe and cut them thick to make them soft and able to be split and buttered if you like. You can cut the circles out with a round cookie cutter, or even the top of a round cup as I did a few times when I had no cutters :)

It's a great recipe, they were light. A great recipe and is easy to make. The next time I'm going to try the recipe with buttermilk. I tried making them with buttermilk, it didn't come out as good. They also freeze real well. Thanks for such a good recipe.

Excellent taste - even though I usually prefer to cook and bake with butter, I definitely recommend using butter flavored shortening; it makes all the difference in the world for flakiness and taste. My advice is to not roll the dough too thin. To achieve the flaky layers, the unbaked dough really should be rather thick.

I gave this recipe a 5 star rating because they are easy to make and taste great, they came out crusty on the outside with a soft inside, yum. The only thing I changed was that I didn't dip them in melted shortening. Overall, they were a hit at my Thanksgiving table.

Easy to make, but pan is extremely hot. So don't let kids touch it, or take it out of the oven. (The heat goes through most hotmittens) Doesn't take long to make and is easy to clean-up after. Tastes like buttermilk biscits.
