Very good recipe. I grated the butter (cold or could use frozen) I use unsalted as I like to control my salt. I also added grated cheese but you could use dried cranberries and finely grated lemon zest. I don't like baking with shortening as a personal preference but also the hydrogenated fats are worse for you than the saturated fat in butter. If I am going to eat fat in moderation I'd rather have the real thing...

This was a really good recipe but salt needs depend on what you use as an oil base. If using unsalted butter or shortening you may need more salt, whereas if you use salted butter this amount may work. I will try with salted butter and see next time.

These biscuits are AWESOME. I've been craving biscuits for a few days but didn't really feel like dealing with the hassle of making them. I found this recipe and decided to give it a try. These were so easy to make and tasted amazing! The only modification I made was instead of two cups of all purpose four I used 1 cup of whole wheat flour and 1 cup of all purpose, used my stand mixer, kneaded on the counter 8 ish times and used a round cookie cutter. They were perfect in 12 minutes. They are perfect in every way. Great with honey!

Just made these this morning. I took the advice of previous reviewers and made a few changes of my own. Used 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Added 1 tablespoon of sugar. Also added 1/2 cup raisins. Finally, did an egg wash as recommended on another biscuit recipe on this site. Served with a little mango butter (from Trader Joe's) on top. They are amazing. My husband and sons loved them. I am so happy to be able to make something so delicious with minimal effort that is relatively healthy as well. Thanks to all the previous reviewers for their comments. They are truly helpful tips.

This is my go to recipe for rainy days or a little indulgence. I love these biscuits warm with butter, dipped in gravy, they never let me down. However I find that if I make the full recipe they don't last very well, so I recommend only making as many you think will be eaten. They are fabulous with garlic and herbs mixed in, my favorite is cheese and dill. : )

My batch turned out hard and crumbly. I personally find them to be bitter and very salty :(

I liked how easy they were to make, but they were a little too... I don't know, bready or something (for my taste). They were still good, just not my style of biscuit.

My husband made these today. He grew up with them and he said they taste exactly the same. He used butter (unsalted) instead of crisco. We had them with beef stew he made from this website yesterday. Wonderful together - biscuits and beef stew! I'm going to make some flavored butter (honey and butter) to go with his next batch.
