I have not made this recipe yet, but have made several of tylers recipes and they have been great. I have never written a review before but have read several. Early on I realized that using table salt was not the same as using kosher or sea salt. Tyler used kosher salt most of the times in his recipes. If you use table salt in place of kosher salt, you have to use alot less. Maybe this will help .

I haven't made these but I'm watching this episode right now and he said "Use a whole tablespoon of salt, we want these to have a lot of flavor" or something like that. Eek!

Worst biscuits we've ever had. They taste of salt and baking powder, you'd do better using canned biscuits that you pop open on the counter top!! Really nasty!

i tried this recipe after seeing the ribs episode. Well, one TABLESPOON of salt is way too much. I followed the recipe as it was and the biscuits were so salty I had to throw them out!!! Tyler, please proof read your recipes in future,, could prevent alot of waste!!!

The amounts of buttermilk and salt are quite off in this recipe. And, use butter instead of shortening. For the buttermilk, start with using only one cup and add no more than 1 1/4 cups. Otherwise, you'll end up with a goopy mess. For the salt, use either coarse sea salt or kosher salt which are "soft" salts compared to table salt. Even with these modifications, the biscuits were a bit on the dry side and not very flaky. If I were to try this recipe again, I would definitely use butter instead of the shortening.

I won't be making this one again.

If a zero rating could be given I would do it. I should have more of the reviews before I started this recipe. I was trying to get rid of extra buttermilk from Paula Deen's Poundcake recipe so I tried this one. it was too salty and I've never seen buttermilk biscuits turn that brown before. And they were bricks.I threw the entire pan in the trash.

I took the other reviewers suggestions and cut the salt to one teaspoon. I also used butter instead of shortening. These came out tasty, flaky, and light. I used only 1 1/2 C buttermilk. The less you mix this the better they will be--just until the dough barely comes together. Also, baking powder loses its "power" 6 months after opening. So the fresher it is the higher and lighter the biscuits.

This was my first time making biscuits and it was so easy, I had to check the recipe to make sure that I hadn't missed a step! I used a scant tablespoon of kosher salt and regular shortening that I mixed with my hands. I did not have a biscuit cutter but easily solved that problem by using a glass. They looked, smelled, and tasted perfect! This one is a winner, Tyler - you made me look like a pro!
