Wonderful recipe! After kneading the dough, I pat it into a rectangle 3/4" thick and use a knife to cut square biscuits. This is quicker than rolling it out & using a biscuit cutter and it produces a more tender result, because the less you handle the dough, the better. These biscuits brown quite a bit, but are so moist and delicious. Yum!

I'm a southern gal who has always believed that a biscuit wasn't a biscuit unless it was made with buttermilk AND I was a little apprehensive about putting an egg in a biscuit recipe. I've been making "angel" biscuits for years, (the ones with yeast in the recipe)and seriously doubted that any recipe could beat that one. Boy was I wrong!! These biscuits are wonderful!!! I made them without adding the cream of tartar because I was out of it and they still came out absolutely perfect. Very tender, delicious and easy to make. Thanks Mystergirl.

Mysterygirl, these are Fab-u-lous!! I just finished one off and you can be sure I will be making these again. Very easy to put together. I was worried about the high heat, and they were very brown but very flaky and moist. Delicious with strawberry jam. I totally agree with Yooper. You have a winning recipe here. Thanks for posting.

These biscuits were so tender! I didn't add the cream of tartar and they still came out great. Next time, though, I might only add 1T. sugar - they were a little sweet for my taste. Otherwise, I wouldn't change a thing. They browned beautifully - I added just a little more milk than the recipe called for and turned them into drop biscuits - everyone loved them. I'll be making these often!

Hi Mysterygirl; Made these biscuits yesterday afternoon. They were easy to prepare, turned out tender, and tasted so-o-o-o good. I made exactly 15 biscuits, had the first 2 just a few minutes out of the oven, with butter, and WOW. Also, I made my CRABMEAT AND CORN SOUP. These biscuits went so well with the soup. I make pretty good biscuits as well, but I must say, these are better than mine, thanks for sharing with us. Next time I will try and add some grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Padano cheese for a little different flavor and will see what happens. Also, might try and add some dried Oregano or Italian Spaghetti Mix. Will let you know how they turn out. Otherwise, these biscuits are #1 on the list now. "Uncle Bill"

AWESOME! These were the absolute best biscuits I've ever made. (I've won blue ribbons for my biscuits...I just threw away my biscuit recipes!) Tender, flakey, great taste....awesome! I made Sausage Gravy and topped them with eggs...WOW! Thanks so much for bringing this recipe to us!

I've never made homemade biscuits before except out of a can. Babs in Toyland rak'ed me with a bag of "White Lilly" flour so I thought I'd put it to work. These were so light and fluffy, they just melted in your mouth! Thanks Mysterygirl for the awesome recipe and thanks to Babs for the flour. When word of this gets around, the doughboy (Pillsbury) just might be out of a job!

I have made a lot of biscuit recipes, but this one stands head and shoulders above the rest! Very simple recipe with superior results!! I prepared exactly as directed by MG's excellent directions and produced exactly 15 biscuits. They were done in just about 10-11 minutes in my oven. Be sure to watch! Light and fluffy and just the right amount of sugar added for sweetness!! This recipe will become the standard biscuit recipe in my home. Thank you Mysterygirl for an outstanding recipe!

OK, OK, I used buttermilk instead of real milk, but they were fabulous just the same. The temperature for cooking them with the buttermilk had to be a little lower. I crisped the first batch a little, but that was my husband's fault, he wanted chili with his biscuits (sheesh) and I got distracted. For me personally, I could have eaten only biscuits for dinner and been just fine.
