    Great recipe. This will become my homemade biscuit recipe from now on. When I first made this, I wasn't sure how they would come, considering the mixing. Mixing the dry ingredients with liquid first and adding shortening together. They were the best. I must admit the first time I added melted butter on top after they came out of the oven because I thought they would be bad tasting. Oh my, were they delicious, hubby loved them. Next time I made them, no butter, just as great. They just melt in your mouth.

    This is the best biscuit recipe I've ever made! They came out very light and fluffy and rose beautifully in the oven. Any biscuit recipe I usually try leaves me with flat biscuits. I really liked the method of mixing the milk and shortening in at the same time; it cut prep time and kept the shortening from melting as I cut it in. Next time I make these, I will use Splenda instead of sugar (we are diabetics). I will update my review for that change.
