I've been making these biscuits for a couple of years now and wouldn't think of going back to canned! They are delicious and turn out light and fluffy every time. Last night I made them with the butter flavored shortening and let them sit a few minutes before baking and they rose even higher. My husband has only one "word" for these, mmmmmmmmm.

Delicious! Light, fluffy and pretty too. Doubled the recipe which made 11 biscuits.

These biscuits were delicious. I enjoyed my first batch with homemade strawberry jam. The serving size is perfect. Thank you for sharing.....this recipe is a keeper.

The amount of sodium listed is correct, but it’s for 2 biscuits. One biscuit would have 561 mg of sodium.

I too want to know if the sodium content is accurate.

Is the sodium content accurate (1121 mg)?

I made these "as is" the first time and we found them a bit too dry for our taste. The second time, I omitted the cream of tartar and used unsalted butter instead of shortening and what a difference! They came out light and fluffy with a wonderful butter flavor. Made with the substitutions, they are perfect EVERY time!
