Great! Only change I made was to add only 1 cup of liquid, as suggested by another reviewer, so they weren't too sticky to roll out. Don't be afraid to pat them into a square and make nine square biscuits, no cutters and no pressing scraps together!

I have made this great recipe many times. I found that using only 1 cup of heavy cream works into the flour much better, otherwise, the dough becomes too moist which then requires more flour and the risk of a tougher biscuit. Also, forming
a 3/4-inch disk instead 1/2-inch provides for a higher and tender biscuit.

A simple trick to eliminate using a round cutter and to avoid twisting motions while cutting which would prevent the dough from rising (refer to recipe is to form the dough into a
3/4-inch SQUARE and use a pastry bench scraper or wide knife to cut the biscuits into square shapes. This involves less handling of the dough which is a plus.

Start checking biscuits at 9 minutes especially if your oven has been preheating longer than needed.

This is probably the best recipe I have found for fluffy "from scratch" biscuits. The only reason why this gets 4 stars instead of five is because for me, there is something just a little off somewhere between the sugar, salt, and baking soda flavor. Otherwise, they are great.

I have been making biscuits for 40 years and I would love to show Emeril how to make a REAL 'southern' biscuit. I'll admit these are easier but not prettier and probably not as good.

These biscuits were excellent. These were the first biscuits I have made from scratch, and I will never, ever purchase store bought biscuits again.

I cooked these for dinner, and they were so popular that people began to fill up on the biscuits instead of the main dinner.

Thank you Emeril for sharing your biscuit recipe. If you could find a way to kick it up a notch or two, that would be marvelous. Six stars!
