5 star all the way .People who change the recipe should not rate !
Fluffy was right. These were very good.
The perfect biscuit – in texture and in taste. I’ve made these several times and each time was perfection. Didn’t change a thing. Photo shows half of a biscuit. Thank you for sharing!
Fluffy light biscuits. Simple to make too!
Very tasty and light. I baked them in a glass dish and they did not get crisp on the bottom. Next time I’ll try an aluminum pan.
they were good. I used an organic shortening made with palm oil.
I’ll add more sour cream next time. Instead of shortening I used butter and oil. At 10 mins they hadn’t browned (maybe rack should have been higher?) so I broiled for 1 minute. Acceptable, not fantastic.
This recipe was so easy and tastes wonderful! Light and fluffy just the way I like them! Yum
I made this recipe again and experimented using bacon grease that I chilled and added for flavoring the dough. You might need less salt depending on how salty is your bacon. Even with my substitution, the recipe came out fluffy and light like every single time I make this recipe. This time it came out more savory than usual. Will continue making this recipe!
Turned out amazing. I did add one teaspoon of sugar to the recipe and added garlic, cheese, and small cubed butter (I used shortening for the original recipe) to try to recreate the infamous Red Lobster biscuit. They turned out amazing!
I also used butter instead of shortening. They were easy and delicious.
I wanted a sweet biscuit to use with raspberries & whipped cream, so I made these with 2 tsp of Splenda. I had just baked a pizza at 475 degrees and the oven was still warm, though turned off. Well, I apparently forgot to hit start when I set the temperature at 425 for the biscuits cause when the timer went off and I checked them, they were barely risen and the oven was off! (dumb, dumb, dumb). I turned the oven off and left the biscuits in for about 6 more minutes, and when they were barely golden, I took them out. Delicious! So, I’m sure if a more attentive person made these, at the correct temperature, they would be not only delicious but also fluffy.
I swear, these are the Cracker Barrel biscuits! And, they are very easy! This is definitely one of my new “go to” recipes!
Quick and easy to make. Everyone loved them.
Super easy recipe! If you’re intimidated by biscuits, (Exactly like me) then this is a great starter. I’ll be lucky if these aren’t gone by end of night.
Exactly what I was looking for! Followed the recipe exactly. Result was crumbly and ready in time for dinner. Perfect!
i made this during the COVID crisis (for historical reference some day), when there was no yeast available. I substituted butter as well since I had no shortening and my wife said these were the BEST tea biscuits she ever had. They were light and fluffy and not too salty. I’ll definitely make them again.
Delicious flavor, flaky texture
My first time making biscuits from scratch, so hard to believe, since I grew up eating southern cooking from my Georgia peach mom.. they were really good! The family loved them and were disappointed I only made 5. Had with roast chicken, potatoes and the fixins l. Super easy too!
Good biscuits. Quick and easy to make. Recipe made 6 biscuits, perfect for a small family. Recipe would be easy to double or triple.
Excellent biscuits, moist and fluffy. Used butter instead of shortening and warm milk rather than cold, but otherwise made them per the recipe.
