Great recipe! I'm not a great biscuit maker, but these turned out great. I was wondering if I can use self rising flour and them still turn out good. I would like to know if anyone has made them with self-rising flour.

    Wonderful recipe! I made substitutions based on what I had on hand: half whole wheat flour/half unbleached all-purpose flour; and 1% milk. I mistakingly added the salt with salted butter but had no ill effects. I was surprised that my picky DD loved these with grape jelly and my hungry man DS wouldn't touch them. Go figure! These are great buttered or even with butter, garlic and parmesan (and apparently great with jelly)! Will definitely make these again...probably here in a few minutes.

    Oh my GOODNESS!!! If you've been looking for the perfect biscuit recipe----you can stop looking. These are SO good! I made them for supper tonight with a big pot of bean soup. They are very easy to make. Very quick--you can put these together and have them on the table in 25 minutes. They're light, flaky, buttery, delicious!!! Thank you for posting this recipe!

    These are very good! And not only are they incredibly easy, but they come together quite fast — perfect for a last-minute addition to a meal. My house is quite dry, so I required about 2 extra teaspoons of milk to get the mixture to come together. I baked these for the full 20 minutes; the biscuits had a lovely crunchy top and bottom, while the insides were very tender.
