PERFECT
it surprises me that someone could omit the salt and say these biscuits have no flavor. HELLO.... unsalted butter needs that bit of salt and yes butter has more water than shortening so an all butter dough will be stickier.Butter contains almost 10% water after all. These are by far the best biscuits EVER... but follow the directions people, if something goes wrong it is not the recipe
Great tip, when rushed for time, prepare dough in am or in afternoon and refrigerate. Then at dinnertime pinch off and roll 2-3 inch balls, press into cast iron pan and bake. They are fast and soooooo gooooood.

What a great recipe. For the longest time I have tried to find a biscuit recipe comparable to my grandmothers (which we unfortunately did not get before her passing. This recipe is spot-on!! The only issue I had, which wasn't with the recipe, it was that the bottoms of my biscuits got to crispy. I'm not really sure what to do about this, but I'm going to try buttering the baking sheet next time and/or moving the rack up.

White Lily flour and Crisco makes these perfect! : you can also add mashed sweet potatoes and they're really good.

Yum!!!! Easy, great flavor and not dry at all. Have never successfully made from scratch biscuits with shortening. Usually use a recipe with self-rise flour and vegetable oil that tended to be a little crumbly. So glad I decided to gave this one a try.
