As a biscuit these were "ok" they were very easy to make hence the 2 stars. As a Tea Biscuit they were definetely lacking something (maybe sugar and/or raisins)

These biscuits turned out small, tasteless, and dry... Would not recommend them.

Very good. Used half whole wheat flour and we ate it with butter and strawberry jam. A recomended recipe. It was good as is, but I like to experiment and will try replacing the milk for sour cream. Yummy.

Unbelievable!! Wonderfully light and flakey. It was like biting into air! I, too, used less salt like some reviewers advised. I used about 3/4 tsp. I also added about 1 1/2 tsp. of sugar. You must try these.

Wonderful! Only got eight biscuits because I like them bigger and I reduced the salt to 1/4 tsp. Simple recipe that I will keep forever.

This was my first crack at homemade biscuits, and these turned out really well. Next time I will use the butter flavored shortening or just butter in place of the shortening. Very easy to make and the results were great. In fact, they were so good that my husband got mad because he thought that I had gone to Cracker Barrel without him and brought him home biscuits. He was shocked when he found out I had made them from scratch. Thanks for the great recipe!!

I haven't really baked breads that much, so I was delighted this recipe turned out so well. I don't use shortening much and I didn't want to go out and buy some so I just substituted it with margarine (taken out of the the fridge 10 mins. before use) and halved the salt. They tasted nice and buttery. Also, I made them in different thicknesses to try it out and found that if you roll them out thicker they rise a lot more than if you roll them out thin.

I'll try some variations of this recipe. It was good as a basic, but it needs work.

These were absolutely amazing, I made them with a recipe that flopped....thank God I doubled the recipe we ended up filling up on these wonderful tea biscuits. I have a big family and everyone loved them. Very flaky and light. Thanks for the recipe.

Ha Ha!! Not sure what happened to these! They never rose at all and were just flat little things. Nobody wanted to touch them (let alone eat them). Maybe I should have made them sit for awhile before baking them. Any suggestions?

I looked up this recipe tonight while I was brewing tea, and in less than an hour (tea was still warm) I had tea biscuits! Making them was a snap, and FAST. I rolled them a bit too thin (got 15 out of the batch) but they turned out well. I sprinkled some grated cheese on top of half of them. Thanks for the recipe Debbie!
