Bobbie (California) says:
Fantastic biscuits! Light and fluffy but not cakey...just like my mom used to make and I didn't pay attention. A lesson to all you younger bakers out there!

This is a good recipe but if you were to add about a half teaspoon of baking soda, they will get even fluffier. I tried it on 2nd attempt, and wow.......Had seen Alton Brown suggest this on food channel show.

My 8yo DD helped a lot and when I rolled the dough too thin, she suggested we stack the pieces. Great idea! They puffed up, pulled apart beautifully and were terrific!
