    I've tried many homemade biscuits and this is by far the best I've ever made. These were really good will be making again.

    I give the biscuits 5 stars! The only change I made was that I used lard instead of the shortening. So flaky!!! I did not make the milk gravy but imagine it's just as yummy.

    Years ago, we had milk gravy. We loved it. I have tried to re-create what I made as a young girl. I was watching your show when you were showing the young lady the secret to milk gravy. BACON GREASE. That was my missing ingredient. My mother used bacon grease for everything. I could have hugged you. I made some for myself this morning. I had to go buy some bacon because..................you know about arteries. I don't even keep it in the house. I treated myself. I savored every bite.

    born and raised in the south. We had biscuits at every meal when growing up. Even for
    breakfast. I make biscuits at least 4 times a week. My adult children are asking to be
    taught how to make my biscuits. They will come by and if I have leftover ones they will
    eat them cold. I use Crisco as I don't have a use for lard that much. We have gravy
    often also. This is a very good recipe Paula. I always put a pinch of sugar in my gravy
    because my mother always did. Thanks Paula for this good old fashioned food.

    I made these biscuits tonight and I like them for the most part. They were easy to make which was my #1 criteria when searching for a recipe. I think next time I'll try using butter instead of shortening and see how that changes the flavor. I think the shortening gives it a good texture, but not so much in the flavor department. I think this is a great base for many different types of biscuits and will definitely use it again.

    made the biscuits and i added about a cup of chedder cheese to them before the milk went in and HOLY MOLY! awesomeness! thank you paula for the recipe! i didnt change a thing except for adding the cheese in. the tops will look like they arent done for those of you who burn them...you have to peek at the bottoms, if they are golden brown, they are done! i chunked some butter and put it on top of the biscuits before they went into the oven! heaveningly sweet!

    Excellent biscuits - light and fluffy! Can use as savory or sweet, just omit the gravy for sweet. Works great as a short cake with sliced strawberries, just sprinkle little sugar on top.

    Well, I am from Alabama originally and I thought these looked great on the show. However, now I live in Denver and high altitude can have quite an affect on baking. My biscuits came out dry and crumbly and the gravy came out very thick. I will have to play around with this recipe and add more wet ingredients to compensate for the dry air out here. Maybe next time!
