  1. A tedious recipe that seems to over complicate things. The dough turns out like runny pancake batter, then tells you to roll it in a pan of flour. It was impossible to roll, it was simply sticky goo. I ended up adding the panned flour that I was supposed to roll the dough in, and just added it to the dough. It was still very sticky and took me three times the work of a regular biscuit recipe. Not to mention no bake time is included. One person stated it took hers roily 12-14 minutes. Mine took 22 minutes. I will not use this recipe again.
     
  2. THANK YOU! I finally can make biscuits that are tall and fluffy instead of hockey pucks. Not having any self rising flour on hand, I used recipe #5247 for self rising flour and followed your instructions after that. Made chicken and biscuits and baked it for about 17 minutes and had some dough left so made a couple of biscuits on the side. Everything turned out perfect. So long Bisquick biscuits!

  5. Oh. My. God. Okay, let me start off by tooting my own horn and saying I pride myself being an excellent baker. Except for biscuits. I can't even made them out of baking mix. I've tried recipe after recipe and none of them ever turn out. THESE did. I've made these biscuits three times over the last week, lol. You MUST make them!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I have cooked both in the Navy and for fun, I have been cooking since I was 7 years old and still enjoy it today. My favorite Cook book series is America's Test Kitchen. I love to read the CIA's "Kitchen and Cook" and alot of my recipe's come from those with modifications. MY PET PEEVES ARE RATING RECIPE's WHEN YOU HAVE SUBSTITUTED INGREDIENTS OR MODIFIED IT!!!!! That's not fair and objective to those reading or those sponsoring the recipe. <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
