If you're looking for a flaky basic biscuit, this recipe is the best. These golden-brown rolls bake up tall, light and tender. Their mild flavor tastes even better when the warm biscuits are spread with butter or jam. -Nancy Horsburgh, Everett, Ontario

These biscuits turned out hard, flat, and tasteless. I followed the recipe to a T and was very disappointed.

This is THE best batch of biscuits that I ever made! I will never buy biscuits again. They came out just like the picture. They were so light and fluffy. Not to mention how delicious they are!

This is the best biscuit recipe ever! I even forgot to cut in the shortening before the wet ingredients. I cut it in the best I could and they still came out fluffy and tender! Yum!

I made them with a group of young girls in a baking class and they turned out wonderful. They all loved them. I will be making more of them.

M-m-m, that was the comments at the dinner table when I made these. I don't know what the secret is, but it worked and I have made many (not so great) biscuits in my time. .....jj

Very tender biscuits that have a light, buttery, taste with a touch of sweetness. They also stay fresh and soft for more than 1 day. I used a heart shaped cookie cutter and the presentation was lovely. Make sure you cut the biscuits very thick, 3/4 to 1 inch thick as they do not rise as much as buttermilk biscuits. You can definitely see the layers and pull the biscuits apart. I also think that this recipe could also be used for making tea biscuits, by adding raisins and topping with a vanilla glaze.
