I tried AB's recipe first, and it made for very good biscuits. I then tried his grandmother's suggestion, and I have to admit, it was much easier, and tastes just as good.

Don't tell my Mom, but these are even better than her "Yankee" style Baking Powder Biscuits. Sorry Mom

we faithfully watch Good Eats and have tried several recipes and even purchased a cookbook. I followed this recipe to the letter and my biscuits did not rise very much at all. The only thing I can think of it was raining that day so maybe that is why. I tried them a second time and while they tasted wonderful and everyone loved them they still did not rise very much at all. But one flaw in the midst of scientific perfection I can live with. Keep up the good work Alton.

The flavor on these biscuits is INTENSE. A little too much for me; I believe that biscuits should be a good platform for whatever you're serving them with. These really take center stage. If you like a big bang from a biscuit, have at it!
Great instructions re: kneading it, etc.

I use this recipe constantly for biscuits. I often substitute milk for the butter milk with only a slight loss of quality. Dipping them in butter as they are placed on the pan for baking adds nice flavor and color.

I have been craving biscuits like my dad used to make, and finally I have matched them. Thanks food network and thanks Alton Brown, the most entertaining man on TV. I make these almost every sunday with gravy. Really can't be beat and I get all the compliments.

No other word, but greattttt!!! I love watching Good Eats. Alton's precise approach to cooking makes for "good eats". I love biscuits and do pretty well as a Southern girl, but these biscuits are on the mark, simple to make, taste great and I have made them at least 4 times. I freeze the dough and wala. Pillsbury has nothing on me. Mmmmmm good. This has become my standard biscuit recipe.

This is a great recipe for fluffy southern style biscuits. It doesn't get any easier or better than this.
