I scribbled down this recipe when our family visited the Cooperstown Farm Museum more than 25 years ago. I must have gotten it right, because these biscuits turn out great every time.Patricia Kile of Elizabeth, Pennsylvania

While my biscuits didn't look exactly like the picture, they were so light and fluffy! The recipe was quick to put together, too. I used a dry buttermilk powder substitute but would like to try actual buttermilk. I just used what I had on hand. I will make these again!

I am a new biscuit baker and this is the best recipe I have tried yet! I was impressed with the accuracy of the recipe and the height of the biscuits! I am sharing this recipe with my daughter.

Can't complain for a lower-fat biscuit recipe! I admit I'm used to the Southern recipe my grandmother made for me as a child, which is LOADED with shortening. It was very moist and flaky but obviously not so healthy. I don't eat a lot of wheat and gluten these days and although I can make some pretty good gluten-free drop biscuits, I was really craving a true wheat-y, buttery, soft biscuit this morning for breakfast. This did just the trick! I will say that I only used 3/4 C. plus 1 Tbsp. of the buttermilk. Next time I will use the full cup as I felt my biscuits were just slightly crumbly and could have used a tad more moisture. I brushed with melted Earth Balance spread instead of the milk and doubled the salt. I also added a tsp. of raw sugar. I think next time I'll add a touch more sugar and salt and an extra Tbsp. of butter for flavor. If you eat them straight from the oven, you are going to get a slight baking powder taste in your mouth...so let them rest about ten minutes (if that's possible!) before slicing, buttering, and devouring.

Very light fluffy biscuits, but I could taste the baking soda. A little honey with whipped butter did correct it, but I'd try with less next time.
