Sky-High Biscuits

“INDIANA--'When I think of food and summer, I think of our county fair in July. My three sons and I have competed in a lot of 4-H cooking contests. I enter 15 or more food items every year in the open show. 'I've found Taste of Home to be a great source for prize winning recipes. My recipe for Sky-High Biscuits (below) never fails to win a ribbon. They're moist, high and flaky, with a wonderful wheat flavor.' --Ruth Burrus, Zionsville”

I didn't have the exact ingredients at home. I used white flour, 1 stick of butter, and 2% milk. The biscuits still came out great.

Excellent recipe. Thank You I only used 1/2 cup whole wheat but next time will go for the whole cup and I used 1 stick of butter and 1/4 cup shortening just because I tend to be frugal. :) They came out high and fluffy

I made these exactly as the recipe says and they turned out light and flaky and picture perfect. I made a batch to go with home made soup and my teen-agers inhaled them. Delicious!

While delicious, mine look nothing like the picture. Mine are more scone-like. I am eating one with jam now, while hot, very nice, but tomorrow morning they will be dry and hard. I added some sour cream to replace the buttermilk or milk. (I also did not put in the cream of tartar, as I do not like the taste of it in the finished baked good. ) Next time I will go all white flour- I think the whole wheat has a lot to do with how they came out. Whole wheat is different miller to miller- Hodgson's Mill (what I had) as opposed to King Arthur.

Another simple, reliable go-to biscuit recipe! Worked well with sausage patty sandwiches for breakfast this AM. Hubby and son gave their thumbs up. :)

Killer recipe! I made them with all white flour(sifted) and only half a cup butter. Had to add a little more milk for everything to stick together. They came out super moist and (hopefully) with a little less fat.
