	Very nice -- thorough but pleasant  Nov 12, 2008
Great little cookbook. I thought I knew a lot about biscuit making but there's plenty to learn from this compact, neat book. The writing style is friendly without being chatty and the art direction is distinct and fun without being overstated. Dig out your biscuit cutters, you're going to need them.
	Best Book EVER!!!!  Dec 14, 2007
I am a good cook. My one downfall, was biscuits. I am a true southerner, from Charlotte, NC. Not being able to make biscuits or dumplings with every meal is unacceptable. So, I bought this book to cure my failure as a biscuit maker. I couldn't make them light and fluffy. I bought this book. The first day I bought it, I made the sausage and cheese buiscuits. It was a complete success. My boyfriend couldn't stop eating them. Then I made the oatmeal raisin biscuits. Also a complete success. Needless to say, I have made biscuits 4 times since I bought the book. I have turned into a biscuit making fool, and I haven't even had the book a week yet. If your skeptical, don't be. This book is GREAT. I am even able to adapt the recipes. I make frosting for my biscuits. I must warn you in advance- make a lot of biscuits, because if your feeding a family, they are gone quickly. All of James Villas, and especially his mothers' Martha Villas' books are winners to me. I reach for their books time and time again. When I travel, these books go with me. I have well over 300 cookbooks. This book is in my top 10. LOVE IT!!!!
	Mmmmm... Biscuits...  Dec 3, 2006
Whether you like your biscuits made with shortening, butter, lard (believe it or not, lard has less cholesterol than butter), or some combination of the above, you'll find plenty in here to suit you. There are even a few recipes that use whole-grain flours such as whole wheat. Many of the recipes include historical or personal notes that are fun to read and add interesting background to the process. Helpful hints include tips on freezing biscuits, as well as the all-important note for Northerners that finally saved my biscuit attempts when Alton shared it: if you use hard Northern flour, substitute cake flour for some of it. The book includes plain raised biscuits, flavored biscuits, drop biscuits, cocktail and tea biscuits, scones, and recipes that allow you to cook with biscuits. There are plenty of hearty recipes in here such as biscuits with bacon and cheese in them (one of my favorites). There are also more subtly-flavored choices such as the parmesan-herb drop biscuits and the sweet potato biscuits (which work surprisingly well with canned pumpkin). The scones are far better than any commercial scones I've had before--not too sweet, not too dry. Whether you want to go all-out with biscuits fried in lard on the top of the stove or make something out of buttermilk or whole grains; whether you prefer traditional favorites or unusual combinations such as parmesan and chutney--you'll find the perfect never-fail biscuit recipe in here. And that's definitely biscuit bliss!
	Ideas that will improve your biscuits  Jul 1, 2005
Why would I go out to buy a whole book, even if it's a fairly small book, just on something so simple as how to make biscuits. Because I've never been happy with the biscuits that I've made. The ones made by my grandmother, let alone the ones made by the grandmother of a friend of mine, are so much better than the ones I've been able to make. I found though, that Mr. Villas has the same problem. In his case it was a great-aunt. She threw in a little of this, a little of that, put them in the oven, and then without even looking to see if they were ready, she'd take them out -- perfect biscuits. ==Instead, the rest of us have to follow recipes, try this, try that and finally come up with biscuits that at least begin to approach grandmothers. Here in this book is several pages of what you might call biscuit lore -- what kind of fat, yeast, flour (where do you get Southern flour made from soft winter wheat). Well you can order it through the mail, but you pay $7 for shipping $2 worth of flour -- that's OK, it's worth it, after all, that's the way you have to order good quality grits. I haven't tried all 101 'foolproof' recipes in the book. But I think that this mornings batch is the best I've made yet.
