Very good, but very slightly tough. I may have folded the biscuit dough over too many times. I will make these again.

This was my first time making them though I saw the show ages ago. I was intimidated because in the past my biscuits were hard bricks. I actualy made a double batch at one time. The only thing that rang in my head was Alton saying "knead it a few times and step away, thats right, step away" I fought the urge to knead longer and these biscuits remind me of my grandmoms. Thanks Alton, I am in love with you. I trust Alton's recipes above all others.

I use this recipe all the time. I modify it with jalapenos and cheddar cheese sometimes, and I use it to make biscuit bowls too. Good stuff.

+1 re: 4theluvofit. I have tried and tried and tried to make country style buttermilk biscuits, but this is the first recipe that has worked. Sorry Pillsbury!

I hate to admit this but I've been FAILING at making a good biscuit for the last 14 years! This recipe is a NO fail recipe! My family is thrilled to get fluffy biscuits instead of the bricks I used to serve up. I always double this recipe as we enjoy huge biscuits, using the left over biscuits from dinner for egg & cheese biscuits for breakfast! Thank you Alton Brown

I've been looking for the perfect biscuit for 30 years and this is it. Wonderful flavor, light and fluffy, and beautiful brown tops.

I've been testing biscuit recipes this week and Southern Biscuits win, hands down. I mixed the ingredients in the food processor and then quickly added it to the buttermilk and mixed by hand. My 9 inch Le Creuset baker was handy so I buttered it, lightly pressed the dough into a smaller square on my board and used my pizza cutter to slice through the dough. Popped it in the pan and into my convection oven. It happened so fast, the butter didn't have time to soften. Biscuits were sky high and fluffy with a perfectly browned exterior. And no waste or reworked dough. My search is over. These are wonderful! Thank you!

Made these for Christmas... my family were fighting over them!!
First time making biscuits. I cannot believe how easy this recipe is. I added bits of cheddar cheese and panchetta. Topped with melted butter and dried dill. Excellent!!!

Yes, the recipe on the back of flour package works just fine. But I really like this recipe by Alton Brown. I think the biscuits are more flavorful because you use butter. They are fluffy inside and crispy outside, but never hard. When you bite into it the delicate outside crust makes you crave for more.

these were great..my whole family LOVED them! i made them in my food processor...up until the kneading and cutting part...i put them in for tthe recommended 15 minutes and they came out a little over done...i think it is more the fault of our oven, though.
