Firstattempt at homemade biscuits (sans biscuits) ever and they turned out absolutely wonderful! Very easy to make, and yet very tasty. I would suggest brushing a little melted butter on thetops of the biscuits before putting them in the oven though for a little extra flavor!

Just like my daddy use to make. I dropped them into my pan in little balls instead of rolling out. These were great. I will use buttermilk next time as buttermilk makes biscuits so good, didnt have any this time. Thank you!

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.
