I halved the recipe which should make 10 but I only got 8 out of it (I wouldn't want to make them any smaller). I also added a tiny bit less salt per the other reviews. This is between a 3 and a 4. The main problem we had was that they were too crumbly. You couldn't break in half to insert butter or honey in the center. I would say served hot you can melt butter on top and then drizzle with honey. Difficult to eat with your hands. Suggestions on if I did something wrong? I would say with butter and honey the stars are up a notch though. Good flavor.

so yummy! I made 8 larger biscuits as did another user and they were ready right at 12 minutes. They are so light and fluffed up wonderfully! I used butter flavored shortening and I think it gives then a spectacular flavor! Def one I will be usig again :)

These biscuits were good, but they did NOT rise properly. They turned out more like biscuit cookies than actual biscuits. But they still tasted pretty good.

These were very good, best when fresh out of the oven. I made 8 larger biscuits and didn't roll out the dough but patted it down with my fingertips. Followed the recipe exactly and they were done in 12 minutes. Defintily don't over-bake these are they'll be too dry. We ate these with soft butter and strawberries preserves but I think that honey would be devine! They were a bit flaky on the outside and very tender on the inside. A bit bland alone but a very good base for something sweet on top. I also bet they'd be good with sausage gravy.

These were alright...they were the right consistency for biscuits, but i used margarine and thought the taste was a bit too 'buttery' and salty. They also seemed a little greasy. shortening might have different results.

This recipe really is quick and easy. I just made these biscuits for the second time this week and added approx. 2 cups of grated marble cheese before adding the milk. They turned out great. Next time I plan on sprinkling some extra cheese on top before popping them in the oven for an even cheesier taste.

I have been looking for a recipe like this for years. They tasted just like the tea biscuits my mom used to make. Thank you! They turned out perfectly, I used butter instead of shortening and topped them with butter and jam-so good.

i like to make my biscuits quick, easy, and well. quick = [room temp butter cut in with chopsticks held in one hand] easy = [shape dough into a square & cut into square biscuits] well = [don't overmix, knead to add flakes & pay attention as they bake] i think this recipe accomplishes all that it claims to. it makes a very light, fluffy biscuit that lends itself well to sweet toppings. i DON'T think they taste like bisquick at all (check what grade of ingredients you are using if you think they do) i used good butter, whole milk, and everything else according to recipe. i tried to make some with a cheese topping/cheese sauce, but that didn't turn out well. too savory, and the fluffy biscuits couldn't handle all that cheese-weight. serve with sweet toppings for best results. the simple, unsweet biscuit doesn't overpower the nice toppings, or vice versa.

They taste good. But.....they taste just like the biscuits I make with Bisquick! And at the top it said it was supposed to make 20? I got 7 out of it. And I didn't make them huge either. I had to cook them for 20 minutes--not 12-15 minutes. I'm going to keep this recipe to use for those times when I'm out of Bisquick. : )

I LOVE these biscuits! Even better is to reduce the salt to half a teaspoon, use butter instead of shortening and half and half instead of milk. Also, SIFT the flour first and be sure your rack is one level higher in the over, so they don't burn on the bottom! Perfect, light, flaky-- great conduit for honey, lemon curd, or jam and devonshire cream!

This recipe is absolutely delicious. The only thing I do differently, is to roll out dough thicker than recipe before cutting. Yum!

These were excellent. I had them with chili last night. Just like my mum used to make. Mine rose nicely, were flakey on the outside and soft on the inside. This recipe is definitely a keeper for me.
