Yum Yum!! These were great. I used whole wheat flour. I want to try the molasses idea and the cranberries and walnuts. Great ideas.

So good. I used rolled oats and allowed them to sit in the milk for 5 minutes before adding them. Also, I did not use a biscuit cutter but instead broke the dough into 2 discs them cut them like a pizza. This yielded me 12 large biscuits. A great alternative to whole wheat biscuits.

Just like the ones my great grandma used to make! I have her recipe but the 'handfuls' as measurements never worked out for me. This recipe tastes great! I did half and half white to whole wheat flour and it's wonderful! Thanks very much! I like mine plain or with strawberry jam.

SO YUMMY! Especially warm with a little bit of maple butter (also from this site) on top. MMMMMM! The only change I made was to use butter instead of shortening. These are wonderful as is, but I would love to try some adaptations as well. I'd love to try them with browned butter. Also, maybe with some different flavourings, like vanilla, maple, or almond extract. Adding raisins or even chocolate chips might be tasty too. Definitely an awesome and easy recipe, thanks Barbara!

I had my doubts but this is a wonderful recipe. The biscuits are light with a great texture and I used whole wheat flour. I did substitute butter for shortening and added walnuts and dried cranberries. It made 15 good size biscuits. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! I was a little skeptical at first, but, wow, these are really good. I didn't have enough brown sugar, so I substituted molasses and white sugar. It didn't mix up as well as I hoped, but it must have mixed up good enough! I will definitely make these again.

Excellent recipe that can be adapted to suit almost any diet! My family is celiac (cannot eat gluten) and I simply use gluten free product in place of non-gluten products.
