My daughter planned to make these for Thanksgiving,but she forgot. When she remembered, the rest of the food was almost ready. She went ahead and made them and it was so quick! They were so light and tasty, we all raved!

My children love these biscuits. They are super easy to make. I usually double the recipe because they go so quickly.

My family and i love these biscuits. I first used the recipe about a yer ago and we fell in love with it. We make them about every 2 weeks for biscuits and gravy and they rock. I especially love when there are leftovers for snack sandwiches.

to the reviewer who asked: "...I love biscuits & my family as well, but butternilk is not out favorite ingredient...Is their a substitute for buttermilk... & still have the southern taste...???"

NO. It's a southern thing, get over it. It is an INGREDIENT you are not drinking it. It is necessary for the biscuits to rise properly and taste like they are supposed to taste.

The dough was very sticky and goopy (this may have been from the heat in my kitchen but the final product turned out very well. I will use this one again :

I've found after following this recipe several times that a couple adjustments make the biscuits even more awesome: adding a bit more fat, cutting back the salt, and throwing in a bit of sugar. They come out perfect every time.

I usually use biscuit mix to make biscuits, but I've cut as much processed foods, preservatives, and artifical ingredients out off my diet as possible. So, when I woke up with a craving for biscuits and gravy, this recipe seemed very simple and quick. substituted 2 additional Tbs. of butter for the shortening, since shortening is not really natural. It took me about 30 minutes, total, to get homemade biscuits and gravy to the breakfast table. I may have pressed my dough a little thicker than Alton recommended, as I only got 9 biscuits, but I wouldn't have wanted them any thinner. My husband LOVED them, and said he'd never had a biscuit made from flour and "real" ingredients. The biscuits were super fluffy and really amazing!

I use real lard instead of shortening. I fold the dough in layers and the biscuits rise in layers.
