Light- Fluffy- Magnificent! I use this recipe as a base for most of my biscuits. Since I don't use a lot of buttermilk on a regular basis, I keep powdered buttermilk in my pantry and use it as a substitute, mixing it with the dry ingredients and then adding ice cold water before turning the dough out onto my floured board. I also use butter flavored shortening for more flavor.
I have made a sweet version of this recipe by folding cinnamon and raisins into the dough and glazing the tops of the freshly baked biscuits with a mixture of confectioner's sugar, milk and vanilla. And have also made a savory version with rosemary and cheddar cheese added.
Important note to those with convection ovens: This recipe works best with the convection fan turned "OFF".

Nothing special about these. The biscuits ended up not being fluffy, just fell flat literally.

These biscuits were just ok. 15 minutes was too long and the biscuits wound up being burnt on top. Next time I think I will just adjust the baking time and see how they turn out... to be continued :

Super quick and easy. I used nonfat milk and baked them at 425 for 15 min. They were flaky and tender and are a new staple in my breakfast arsenal.

I love this recipe. I wake up at 4:00 a.m. just so I can make these biscuits to take to work at 6:00 a.m. The only thing I changed is the temperature of the oven. I set my oven to 400 - 425 degrees and bake them for about 12-14 mins. I use 2% milk because I ran out of buttermilk and you couldn't tell the difference. Thank you for a great and EASY recipe!!!

This is the only biscuit recipe I'll ever need. Wow! They were so good. I had to walk away from the kitchen as to not eat them all. Gotta save some for hubby. Thanks Alton for a great recipe. My son makes sausage gravy so I can't wait for us to get together and have biscuits with gravy.

These biscuits are great. I used the lid from a mason jar to cut them out. It made the perfect size. (Great multi-tasker
