Great recipe. I added a smidgeon more shortening based on other reviewer comments. I didn't have self-rising flour, so I made it by adding 3 tsp baking powder and 1 tsp salt to 2 cups all-purpose flour. My family really enjoyed these.

Very good recipe. I made it without shortening, just added 1-2 tablespoon butter. Thank you Paula!

These biscuits are really delicious and couldn’t be more simple! I bake the biscuits for about 15 mins, depending on the size, before brushing the tops with melted butter, to which I add dried parsley and about ¼ teaspoon of garlic power. Then I pop them back in for a minute or two more to get them nice and brown. Just keep an eye on them. I also add about ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder to the batter before baking. They quickly became a staple at many a Sunday dinner. Tasty, soft, and wonderful!
