These are the most delicious biscuits I've made! I flow the recipe exactly and I add the sugar! I've made them three times and they come out perfect each time.

These were really good! Using the oil is much easier than cutting in solid shortening. Mine did not rise as hight as the ones in the picture, but I made them cathead-style; next time I will roll and cut them out, I think this will help them to rise higher. Thanks for posting the recipe!
