About this time last year I started looking for the best biscuit recipe I could find. The first thing that had to be determined was, "What makes a great biscuit?".

My Criteria:

• Must not be dry (I hate eating a biscuit that makes me choke and I have a drink with each bite)
• A mild buttery taste to it
• A tender sort of fluffy finished product (not overly thick and dense)

I spent many months trying every biscuit recipe I could get my hands on. Most of them were all to dry. One day Tele decided he wanted to make Biscuits and Gravy. When he was searching for a gravy recipe he found one that also included a biscuit recipe. We used both recipes and both were great. The biscuit recipe became my favorite, for a limited time.

The search for the best biscuit recipe finally came to an end the day I realized that there was a biscuit recipe on the back of my SaCo Buttermilk Powder container. I am so happy with this recipe. I have been using this recipe for a few months now and I don't even look at other biscuit recipes anymore.

The SaCo Buttermilk Biscuits meet all of my requirements. They are moist, tender and have a wonderful buttery taste.

I try to limit the amount of hydrogenated oils I cook with so I have been substituting butter for the shortening called for. Either way the biscuits come out wonderful.
