I didn't care for these. They still tasted like flour. Bland and just left a not so pleasant taste in the mouth. I baked them 3xs thinking it was me. Just not enough salt or sweet. Thanks for posting!

These are really good biscuits, and I as light as described. I made these for my mom and she loved them.

An excellant biscuit Bev. Light, fluffy, tender and moist. Flavourful, melt in your mouth wonderful. Quick and very easy to make. I'll be making these often. Thanks for sharing.

Nice biscuits! I think the cornstarch is key to making these so wonderfully tender. I substited the all purpose flour with whole wheat pastry flour with good results, but otherwise followed the recipe. I did get exactly 12 biscuits, as specified. We had with biscuits and gravy and Grits and Greens #102977. They were pretty good with that, but I think they would be better as Bev suggested with ham. A little too flakey, maybe for biscuits and gravy. I did have one the next day reheated in the toaster oven with some butter, and it was quite good like that too. I think I do prefer my biscuits a little less "feathery" though. Good biscuits overall. Thanks, Bev.
