These are by far the best biscuits ever!!! I have tried so many different biscuit recipes and they have all disappointed me except this one. I did have to make some substitutions though just because I didn't have any shortening. I used a 1/4 cup of real butter and a 1/4 of coconut oil (this looks like shortening but it's much healthier) everything else I followed to the T. I did add an egg wash on top before baking them. I was so pleased when I opened the oven and saw these beautiful biscuits. My husband even liked them and he doesn't normally like biscuits. They are so tender and flavorful. Everyone who made these and they turned out flat, I would highly suggest buying a new can of baking powder and trying it again. I also noticed something very important, these need to be cut out not dropped onto the pan. If you maximize my picture you can see the biscuit on the far left didn't rise like the other ones did. This was the last of the dough and I didn't cut it out. So it didn't get the chance to rise like the others. I just used a glass to cut out the biscuits because I didn't have a round cookie cutter. Don't be afraid to knead the dough like the directions say. This creates flaky layers. These are really fantastic!
