these were easy - I used a food processor to mix all the dry and cut the butter in. I baked them until they were done but not brown and then froze them for my husband to pull out before work.

UPDATE: I made drop biscuits using this recipe by mixing in 1 cup of a four-cheese blend, a 4.5 ounce can of chopped green chilies (drained) and some minced garlic just before the milk. I dropped them using a tablespoon on to a pan in 9 large mounds and baked them for 12 minutes. They turned out great! ORIGINAL: I can't give this recipe enough stars. I have always made lump/heavy biscuits in the past. I follow the directions to a "T" and they turn out great every time! I use a 1 cup measuring cup to cut them at about 1/2 inch thick and they plump up beautifully (it makes 8 total that way). Thank you!

Okay. Tastes just like bisquick biscuits, but with more work.

Wow - I always wanted to know how to make biscuits like these and now I do! They were delicious, flakey, buttery - my husband went back for thirds! Thank you for submitting this - it is now my new 'good old reliable' biscuit recipe! Update: These are now officially called the 'oh my god' biscuits! :)

Finally, the best biscuit recipe ever. Thank you for this one. Now I can take over the family biscuit making.

I have NEVER made a bisuit that even came close to turning out. Seriously, in college my roommate kept an out of a can job that I botched as a sort of pet rock. No more. Flakey, buttery and slightly sweet - these are awesome. Mine weren't pretty but they looked, and more importantly tasted, like a recognizable biscuit. I'll take it!

Oh, theese were so flacky and good!! I think they turned out perfect. I cut them and put butter and strawberry jelly. They were heavenly. And to my surprise, my boyfriend was asking for more! And my son gobbled them up too

Being English I'd never made or eaten biscuits before. These were excellent, light and melted in your mouth when warm. They rose beautifully as well. I'll definitely make them aagain. Thankyou so much.

So good and so easy! I made these without cream of tartar because its not available where I'm living and they were still nice and fluffy. Sometimes I add grated cheese to the dough & brush with garlic butter for the 'red lobster biscuit' taste.

These were very good. Thank you.

Perfect as is!

My biscuits looked absolutely great, but they tasted funny! When I made the recipe, it was supposed to make four servings and it called for 4 teaspoons of baking powder. I'm a new cook and I used baking soda instead of baking powder (didn't have powder). I just did some research and read that baking soda is four times as strong as baking powder. Perhaps this is why my biscuits tasted funny? I guess I will have to be more careful next time when adding ingredients. Other than this, they were great. I'll definitely try them again.

I made these last night to accompany stew and my boyfriend couldn't stop talking about them! They taste just like my moms! Wouldn't change a thing and I will be making these often.

The first time I made these I didn't have cream of tarter and tried it without. (DON'T) The second time I tried it I had some and these were good. Simple, easy and good.

THESE ARE THE BEST! SO EASY TO MAKE!

I would give this 10 stars if I could. I've made the ones with bisquick and they always turned out short, dry and kind of hard, so I gave up on making those. These, on the other hand, rose nicely, and were light, and soft on the inside like they're supposed to be. I did substitute buttermilk, though, because I didn't have milk. Also, I patted mine to about 3/4 of an inch before cutting them with a 3" glass. I was able to get 10 biscuits out of it by gathering up the extra dough twice after cutting them out. Great recipe! Update: Yesterday I served these with sliced strawberries in syrup and fresh whipped cream, and it was sooooo good!
