I have been looking for a recipe that was like my moms because she lost it I find the best way to make sure they come out big and fluffy is once you put in milk mix just until it for into dough then not to roll it out just use you hand I have had very good luck with this. love this recipe

This is a great recipe. I never rolled them out, I just pull off bits and flatten them (sort of) with my hands. This is also an excellent if you add some finely chopped FRESH rosemary. You don't need a lot, maybe 1/2 tsp.

2 stars because they were light and fluffy...but I must b doing something wrong. I used the 2 tsp of baking powder, and that's all I could taste. They looked wonderful and the dog loved them, but my family said no go....if anyone has ideas what I did wrong I would love to know. I thought it was just not mixed well bit every darn one of them tasted equally nasty, like I was licking the baking powder can :(

This recipe was quick and easy. I followed someone's suggestion to drop it by the spoonful on the cookie sheet instead of rolling it. It was a really wet dough, so I would've had trouble rolling it anyway w/o working the dough too much. I used margarine instead of shortening, and brushed melted margarine on top before baking. They were a hit, and next time I'll vary it up a bit with spices, cheeses, or maybe bacon bits. This makes a great template to play around with. Thanks!

im in culinary school and instead of dipping them in the shortening we grade the shortening with a cheese grader and mix it into the dough so when it bakes it has an even amount of shortening and it comes out moist and another good thing is to add chesse and if u want to make red lobster bisciuts but dont have the money just take some garlic fresh or powder doesnt matter a decent amount of putter a chop up some parsely, melt it in a pot let it cool and get a little hard and as soon as they come out the oven take a pastry brush annd brush the mixture over the top so the butter mixture melts and you have your red lobster cheese biscuits dont be stingy with the cheese either

These were quick and easy. And they were very light. But I do agree with another reviewer, they don't have much flavor, except a hint of baking powder flavor. I made a half batch, with butter. If I try them again, I will try making them with shortening, since that is what the recipe calls for. If they have more flavor, I will update the review and rating since that would validate the recipe as written. As others noted, there is no way a full batch could yield 24 biscuits. With the half batch, I got only 7, and my biscuits were relatively small. Also, I agree they probably need more baking powder, as mine rose some but nothing like what is shown in the photo. But since they already have a hint of that baking powder flavor, I would be worried how they would taste with more baking powder.

Here in the south we make bigger biscuits apparently. I can't imagine getting 24 biscuits out of this recipe. I got 7. And sometimes I use butter; sometime lard or shortening. Both work wonderfully. I do recommend using a whole tablespoon of baking powder (at least) though because they do not rise well with only the amount in this recipe. And key words...don't overwork the dough! Yummy biscuits plain or great with honey or butter and jelly!
