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

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.
