John, your mixing methods shouldn’t have affected the flavor of the biscuits. As with most things, there won’t be one biscuit recipe that everyone thinks is the best. I’ve tried several recipes myself in an effort to find my favorite.

Love the website!

However, I tried this recipe and the results were terrible. The dough was perfect and rose beautifully, but after baking, they just tasted like dough. No salt, no flavor, just bad. After re-tracing my steps, perhaps I didn’t cut the shortening in correctly or over-worked the flour, but I think this recipe is a bummer. Any suggestions?

Dear Paula,

Your basic biscuit recipe is very good. I use Self Rising flour and add some butter with the shortening. I also use REAL buttermilk that I make when I churn butter… All of it goes to making a great biscuit. Thanks for all your recipes!

I don’t know what went wrong, but these biscuits, which i’ve planned on making for so long after seeing them on your blog, turned out to be a blob of very sticky dough, to the point where i had to add almost another cup of flour and still couldn’t work with the dough!!!
I also know that usually when working with yeast, dough should rest for a while before proceeding with the making, but this recipe doesn’t call for that.
I made sure I used the correct amounts.
So what screwd up my breakfast???

My grandson is 11 yrs. old and has always enjoyed biscuits. He said,”Nana,this is what heaven must taste like.” I am inclined to agree. Only seven of them left after our St. Patrick din-ner and he is taking them with him for his break-fast in the morning. Thank you for such a beautiful website. It reminds me of my hus-band’s granny’s kitchen in southeastern Okla-homa.
