These were very tasty! For being a first time biscuit maker, they were also very easy to make. They will probably now be a weekend staple in our house. Can't wait to have them with some sausage gravy!

Absolutely fabulous!! I have never been able to make biscuits, always flat and hard. When I made these, following Alton's directions exactly, they turned out very soft, flaky and with a wonderful crust. Will make often and also make some for the freezer. Alton's show "Good Eats is my favorite show as it is educational and fun!

WOW this is the recipe I've been looking for! Easy and delicious. The only change I made was to add a teaspoon of sugar and I used all butter. I also shaped the biscuits bt hand as opposed to rolling them out. Definitely a keeper.

These bisquits were tender and flaky but did not fall apart. They were also so easy to make. It reminds me of my dad's bisquits when I was little. I will use this bisquit recipe all the time! YUM!!

Delicious biscuit recipe... I used 5 tbsp butter and omitted the shortening to get the fall-apart-buttery biscuits I was craving. I also used non-fat buttermilk (not that it really mattered at that point! and didn't have any problems. Lastly, I have found that soft flour functions best in getting a light fluffy texture. I used 100% soft red winter wheat flour and they turned out wonderfully.

These were good but the recipe does not say that you need to use 1 cup all purpose flour and 1 cut cake flour. From what I gather, that would have made a difference in how fluffy these turned out to be. They were good but I would be interested to make them with the recommended ingredients.
This is not the first food network recipe that I have used that has the wrong ingredient or wrong amount of an ingredient posted. I suggest to other viewer to check them with the videos before you spend the money on food that might not turn out well.

I ended up having to use all butter instead of the butter/shortening mixture. It came out amazing anyway though. I had a biscuit recipe that was decent, but these are way better. I can't wait to see what they taste like with the shortening.

Ohhh my Lord and shut my mouth! lol AMAZING! Thanks for sharing a piece of your family history with the rest of the world. THIS one is for the history books! : And yes, White Lily Flour ROCKS!
