Added 2 tsp. sugar to the mix and they were excellent. I did grease my baking sheet contrary to instructions though as mine almost always sticks. Not having read the instructions too well, I rolled the dough out before folding instead of just forming a rectangle with my hands and then after that I accidentally rolled out the dough too thin so I just refolded it and started over. Even with all that extra handling, the biscuits did not come out tough or overworked. Next time, I’ll baste them with butter instead of buttermilk and try a cast iron skillet.

Really, really good. I made this about 7 times before I made a couple tweeks: I use a full stick of butter (8 Tablespoons); 1/2 t. baking soda; and ideally, use 1/2 regular flour and 1/2 cake flour; if you use kosher salt, I use 1-1/2 tsp, and sometime I add 1T of sugar. Even if I don’t do any of that, the biscuits are outstanding. The folding technique described produces a wonderfully flaky biscuit.

Wonderful Biscuits! Nice crispness on the outside and tender flakiness on the inside.

These are really good and they do have the layers. I used a pumpkin to cut them out because I didn’t have any 2 inch circles. They were cute and yummy with honey!

My family has teased me for years about my biscuits being “hockey pucks”. Well they tease me no more. These are fantastic. The only modification I made was to add a little sugar to the dry ingredients (maybe a couple of tablespoons) and brushed the tops with butter instead of buttermilk after baking. Fantastic. Wish I could upload a photo of how beautiful they are.

My husband thought these we’re from the can and then I informed him they were from scratch. He almost didn’t beleve me because I made them so quickly (while he was out watering the lawn). Fantastic recipe and super flaky. First time making buiscuits and these are a keeper in my recipe box! Thanks!

So so good! They even had the layers, I was so excited when I pulled one open to butter it up. I made these a few nights ago for dinner and my husband ate two with his meal, then grabbed the jam out of the fridge and ate a couple more after that. Of course my two kids followed suit and did the same. Thank you for a recipe that will absolutely be a staple in our home!
