I just made this. At first when I saw it come out of the oven, I thought this was going to be very dry. It turned out to be the best shortcake biscuit that I ever made. I followed many reviewers suggesting to use 1/3 cup sugar and it was perfect. Thanks Anton for sharing this recipe and I liked your 'good eats' show.

Wow! We are in the middle of packing for a move and Mom's recipe is in a box somewhere, so I turned to my computer. We all agreed that it was the best and the go to recipe in the future. The biscuit was so light and tender, with just the right amount of sweetness to let the strawberries shine.

perfect consistency. Increased sugar and lowered temperture as others suggested and it turned out great! A big hit. I also added about 2 tsp. of vanilla extract which was a nice subtle extra. :
