These were wonderful biscuits. I halved the recipe and used just over 1/3 c of shortening (added some oatrim to compensate). I also added two more teaspoons of baking powder (to be sure of having that baking powder biscuit flavor). Flaky and tender on the inside, brown and pleasantly crispy on the outside, in part due to a spritz of butter cooking spray before popping in the oven. I'll make these again-- "favorites" file for me! P.S. I realize now that I omitted the sugar-- oops! Great without, next time I'll try to remember to toss it in.

Moe, these are marvelous! The best texture of any biscuit of this type I've tried. The flavor was wonderful and they couldn't have been easier to make. I cut the biscuits out right after mixing the dough, putting all but 1 dozen in the freezer. The remaining dozen I placed on the lightly greased cookie sheet and let rise, then baked according to the recipe. Thank you so much for sharing your mom's prize.
