I have long made these biscuits, and these biscuits are scrumptious. Also, I include one teaspoon of baking powder because I like my biscuits with a bit more rise.The most tender, moist, and rich biscuits you'll ever taste! UPDATE: I forgot to mention in my earlier review that I use only 1/2 teaspoon salt. And, in answer to another reviewer's question: yes, use unsalted butter (In baking, always use unsalted!); and yes, these biscuits are very "short" and pastry-like, but I add one teaspoon baking powder for some rise. I grew up eating these biscuits nearly every day and I just love them. They're rich and short, different from the common fluffy biscuit.

These were pretty good as long as you don't mind eating cookies instead of biscuits. They tasted okay. I omitted the salt and used salted butter. They still were a bit salty. I used 1 tsp. of baking powder and it didn't make them rise at all. I wish they could get light and fluffy, they would taste great. I'll keep trying... if I figure it out, I'll let you all know...
