Easy to follow recipe my biscuits were very tasty but a little dry not as pretty as yours. i subd whole milk for buttermilk and used an old glass to punch out biscuits (a little bigger than your biscuit cutter do you think those changes hurt the recipe? i have been trying to make a good biscuit for years. i can't seem to get the hang of it. i would love some advice please

Great biscuits, my picky family couldn't stop eating them!!! Did not have a scale to weigh ingredients so I used 2 cups of flour plus more for kneading, 2T of butter, 4T of shortening and I made my own buttermilk (1T of vinegar added to 1 cup of 2% milk.
I always use Alton for my base recipes and again this did not fail!!
TRY THEM!

I agree they need more salt, and I used salted butter. The dough was really wet, but when they were done baking, they were fantastic! I wil be sure to make them again and add my own flare!

This was a super easy recipe and they tasted great. I used regular milk and swapped the butter and shortning. They were awesome.

They were fantastic. Super simple. Brings me back to my childhood. This is a great recipe to get those children in the kitchen. I may add chedder and a touch of chicken broth to make them dinner buscuits.

This recipe is a keeper. I thought the dough needed a bit more salt but I did use unsalted butter. Other than that, the dough was wonderful, light and pillowy. Next time I'll try adding cheese and chives.

I have another recipe that tops this one, but they are still 5 star. I add about one fourth as cake flour and that makes them even better. Nice tender crumb!

Awesome!! The best I ever made. If you don't have a scale Alton has the same recipe using cup measurements. Tip: keep everything super cold & only mix to combine. Turn dough onto floured plastic wrap or waxed paper & use the wrap or paper to gather into a round mound. Be gentle & handle dough as little as possible. If it is too stcky sprinkle a little flour on top. Alton's biscut video is helpful.

I love the biscuits but wish there was a measure for the flour instead of weight. Just takes a little longer but worth the effort.
