OMG!!! Delicious!! doesn't even cover it!

i'm an american girl living in the UK... NO KFC biscuits! they are my all time favorite buttermilk type biscuits and i haven't found a recipe to match them yet.

I substituted butter for the shortening (dont get crisco here!) and buttermilk for the milk, increased the portion to 12... and it was rising perfectly in my oven... beautiful fluffy, light buttery biscuits.. yum yum... 5 stars isn't enough! Thank you!

PERFECT biscuits. Doubled the recipe for 5 of us and it was perfect. Going into my "favorites" file immediately. Thank you so much for posting! P.S. Brushed the tops with melted butter before baking - highly recommended.

OH MAN! I have made countless biscuit recipes, and either I work them too much, or they don't rise, or the flavor isn't great...but these, are, PERFECT! I doubled the recipe so I could use my kitchenaid with a dough hook. Because I love butter, I did half butter and half shortening. I turned the dough out onto the floured coounter, but didn't knead it more (since I used the kitchenaid, I didn't want to overwork it) and patted it out...they rose beautifully, were tender and moist, and I couldn't wait, I had to eat one right out of the oven. Make that three., Thankyou so much for posting this on zaar!
