2 Basic Ways to Make Biscuits - Old Fashioned Southern Cooking from Scratch

[@stevesmith4051]

My mom and grandmother taught me how to make pretty good biscuits but now I make great biscuits. I get complimented on them all the time and I tell people, "These are Tammy's biscuits". Then I tell them to watch Collard Valley Cooks. I've always been so comfortable in the kitchen, so even though I'm going on 72, this old dog is still learning new tricks and from a darn good teacher.

[@Sh3r-Bear]

Tammy is a darn good teacher. My mom was a buttermilk fan. I’m always learning something new here!😋

I watch a very famous woman who used to be on TV who now has a KZbin channel and I love Southern cooking. What I love about you is that you take the time. This other woman is always in a rush she gets lazy and uses box mixes. I want to learn homestyle cooking from scratch. I have celiac disease and I can't always grab a box of anything usually I can't. God bless you for taking the time because cooking is an art, it's not something to be rushed through. You are a blessing.

[@sandyrowland7285]

You are a lovely person and I enjoy watching you!!! My mother was a wonderful cook and you remind me of her!!! Pure Gracious Lady She's gone and I miss her So!!!! Bless you Tammy!!!

[@patc.318]

Hi Tammy! I remember my grandmothers making biscuits like this. It's really an art! When we began our biscuit-making endeavors, we "cheated" and made drop biscuits. We gradually began to make the cut-out biscuits and have been working on the rolled biscuits. My crew got to the point they didn't feel like they had breakfast unless homemade biscuits were served so they've been motivated to work on becoming skillful biscuit makers. The visual your videos have provided have helped SO much! Thanks so much for all the instructions and the videos, y'all!

[@caitlinharrison7118]

When I was 8, my grandmother taught me how to make biscuits. She put her flour on the counter, she made a well, she combined lard, salt, baking soda, starter, buttermilk and rolled her biscuits. She used the back of her hand to make imprint on top of biscuits. She brushed the top of her biscuits with softened butter, and baked them on a dark cookie sheet at 500 degrees F till golden brown.

[@chefjenny11]

Such a sweet memory. My mama always used the rolled method. Kept her flour in a large red enamel bowl. When the bowl came out, rest assured something good was in the menu. She made incredible apple dumping from that bowl as well. Thanks for sharing. Be blessed.

[@karensweet6530]

My Mama rolled hers out everyday 3 times a day! She had a big wooden bowl my great Grandpaw carved out of a tree for her when I was 1 yr old... I'm 67 n I've always made mine the same way! She always kept flour in her biscuit bowl n when done, Shed slide her bowl in a white cotton pillowcase n fold it under her bowl n slide it in her cabinet! I do now have her bowl and will pass it down to my daughter or son! My son cooks n bakes more than any man! I taught my kids n grandkids how to cook! Thanks Tammy! Rolling Biscuits ain't hard to do at all... If my Grandkids can do it, anybody can! Only takes a few minutes to whoop up a pan of Biscuits! I like my biscuits baked dark brown with a lil crunch on the outside! Soft in the middle! So delicious! Its no trouble to get a bowl n dump flour in it! 😁Lol. N Ga mtns here! God Bless. 🙏🙏❤❤

[@bparker2872]

Thanks for showing the difference between biscuits. I learned something from you again!

[@patdoran6751]

Oh Tammy,. You are the best! I have learned so much from you. Thank you. Pat from Kentucky

[@bradbeckham4999]

This was a great video. What I enjoy most is how well the video is done (Kudo’s to Chris for that I guess). I’ve watched some other biscuit videos that were done using a cell phone camera that were of poor quality and didn’t have the close up shots. There is a big difference. Now I think I can actually make a rolled (or pinch) biscuit. Thanks!

[@kathymonroe7476]

Loved my Grandma biscuits can’t wait to try these!

[@effielarkin3044]

You are a natural born teacher. I learned lots today. P.s. I like your scarf.

[@mayhembeading3737]

Thank you for sharing your recipes and experiences with us. I have a confession to make: I've never liked biscuits. Ever. The last couple years, I could tolerate them in gravy, but on their own? Forget it. I made and canned jam earlier this month, and while it was sitting in the pantry taunting me to try it WITH a biscuit no less, I tripped over a biscuit recipe that I really like, and have found a love for homemade biscuits. So, now I'm checking out other biscuit recipes from scratch, and these look like a winner. Lol.

[@heathers.turpin76]

This butter sugar biscuits that’s going to be strawberry shortcake & I had butter sugar toast growing up & I still eat them now & I love love them so much !!! Much love from a Bama/Georgia Trucker’s Wife /Special Needs Mommy/Cancer Survivor

[@kboyd116]

😅My Mom made her biscuits out of a can😂 She did not like to cook though all three of us all love cooking! She was actually a really good cook but just didn’t enjoy it! My Granny was the cook…a real Southern cook! Your cooking is like hers! Your dough looks so soft and beautiful! Now, I will be making your biscuits again! Just finished making your fried pork chops for dinner! Happy New Year🎉

[@scottvicson3198]

Yummy k you sound like a great cook! I would like to visit your home someday! 😅

[@Mommalg5483]

I use the same flour bowl that my Grandpa made my Granny many years ago. She taught me to make rolled biscuits when I was "knee-high to a grasshopper". That's the only way my family has ever made them. You're right. It is an art. Happy New Year Tammy and Chris!

[@kristinehall7997]

So helpful! My rolled biscuits turned out fantastic! I’m so proud of them. Thank you so much!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Great job!

[@lindal5303]

My mamma would make roll biscuits and we would eat them with home canned peaches. I would stand on a concrete block, when I was 5, and watch her hands work the dough. That was 45 yrs ago. Thanks for the memories🥰

[@charlieo.farmer2468]

My grandma and mom both used an old dish pan for making biscuits . They would cover it with a dishtowel when not in use . Grandma and mom used the edges of their hands and did what they called cutting the biscuit and then pat the biscuit flat . Odd how 2 big pan of biscuits always seemed to turn out like almost the same size . They both had 9 children .

[@teeser2436]

My Mom did too. Good memories.🙂

[@AussieAngeS]

Wow I really enjoyed watching you make the different methods of biscuits. I’ve never seen the first method done like that before. Thank you for sharing

[@jamessawyer4971]

I just loved this Tammy and will watch again and try it. Thank you very much for this video. Thank you Chris. Love and peace from Oregon.

[@henrycooks1883]

I was watching this while corn muffins were baking, but now I wish they were biscuits. Excellent demo and great looking biscuits.

[@rustyrobinson8027]

When you talk about granny and mama I can't seem to help not to start crying I miss mine so much food is love

[@blayne2029]

thanks, Tammy! I love both types of biscuits and use your recipe on the regular.

[@donnaalgren9070]

Great! I already ate supper, but you just made me wanna eat again!😊

[@karensheart]

I am just learning g breads and biscuits. You are always so helpful with the way you teach and all the tricks you share! Thank you so very much!❤

[@debbiehaney2467]

The first time I saw flour bowl method was with Brenda Gantt. She pats the dough out and then cuts them with a cutter. I guess a combination of your mom and grandmother. I’m glad to see you demonstrate this method as well. Thanks for this video. Maybe I’ll be brave enough to give the beginner method a try now!

[@debbiehaney2467]

I just made 4 biscuits!! Very good with honey.

[@bonnie5601]

Hope you, Chris and loved ones had a wonderful New Years!

[@Sh3r-Bear]

My dad married my mom in Germany. Here’s a sweet German girl learning English & cooking from my Appalachia hillbilly family. Biscuits to die for with every other meal! Thanks Tammy.❤

[@heidid5275]

Nice job, Tammy. You're the one we all want to cook like! Happy new year and God bless! 😘

I have tried making biscuits before and they just haven’t come out right, so I am so excited to see this video! Thank you for sharing! 🥰❤️🙌🏼

[@LeesaDeAndrea]

So that was really interesting! I had never heard of rolled biscuits. But all those biscuits looked delicious!

[@bonnie5601]

This was such a great lesson! Thank you!

[@sandraarmstrong5882]

My Granny and my Mama made Roll Biscuits like this several times a week. When they didn't make Biscuits they made Fried Cornbread patties 😋

[@scottvicson3198]

Happy new year Laureen! How are you?

[@lynnelovett8999]

My mom and grandmother made great biscuits. Sometimes mine are good and other times not so much. Maybe mix too much. Anyway may you and Mr. Chris have a blessed healthy Happy New Year Ms Tammy. Your family as well.

[@1ibertymom1]

My husband & I love crunchy biscuits, so I put a skillet with oil in my stove as it heats. Once I've fixed my biscuit dough, & the oven is heated, I place the biscuits in the heated oil, flip it over, then move on to the next biscuit. That makes a great crust on your biscuits.

[@kathygomez99]

Happy New Years! You are definitely the best at teaching biscuit making!

[@housemail557]

Love the video on biscuit making! My biscuits always turn out soft and fall apart now I know why thanks to your video. I plan to make the cut out biscuits tomorrow like you did and add the sugar, butter and strawberries. My husband and I enjoy your videos. Thank you and keep them coming.

[@lindakessler3511]

Are you kidding me girl I love this episode. You make biscuits an art you are a real artisan. Oh Tammy the finished product looks beautiful. I got some wonderful Gourmet Jam for Christmas three different flavors my mouth is salivating for some butter and those biscuits with my with my jam. Love you Happy New Year to you and all😊😍💞👍☕

[@nicolethornton6409]

I have loved making your biscuits. I've also made the pancakes, and cinnamon rolls. Yum. My family loved the sweet potato cheesecake i made at Thanksgiving. I look forward daily to your videos.

Happy new year to you and Chris! I’ve always made rolled biscuits. That’s how I learned from my granny but I’ve got problems with my hand and am having more and more trouble making them. I just ordered a blending fork and will give it a try that way. Thanks for the video. 😊

[@charlieo.farmer2468]

Patting them down with buttermilk makes the crust more crunchy . If you want to make the best crunchy fried chicken ever dip your chicken in buttermilk then roll it in your seasoned flour then slow fry .

[@nancysmith4529]

Hi Tammy and Chris. I love your biscuit recipe. So light and fluffy. I love from the oven with butter and honey. I love with sausage gravy to! You have the best recipes! Love ya❤

These are both really great techniques on how to make biscuits Ms. Tammy. Happy New year to you and your family.

[@caitlinharrison7118]

Grandmother scraped all the counter and she added biscuits scrapes in her starter jar, and put lid on jar and shaked the jar to combine starter.

Thank you so much for your tutorials, Mrs. Tammy! I’ve developed a small addiction to biscuits since watching the sour cream biscuit video a couple weeks ago- I’m waiting for some to finish in the oven right now! They come out perfect every time!

One can buy White Lily flour at H E B in Texas. And it's less expensive than the other name brand flours.

Was never good at biscuit but my son paternal grandmother made the best buttermilk biscuits ever I literally graved them with my daughter who is 16 younger then my son & she made it for me every week to come pick up she called her her grandchild B4 I ever had her but she was never blood she passed the day I got to bring her home so she never got to see her I miss that lady every day

[@amandajames5351]

My mama made biscuits like this, kinda. She didn't have a flour bowl. They were the best biscuits in the world!! She never measured. She just used "some" until it looked right.

[@susanm1109]

I grew up on the west coast but my mother and grandmother were from Tennessee. In the 1950s my granny made biscuits with Crisco, flattened the dough with a rolling pin, and cut them out with a biscuit cutter. Sometimes she made drop biscuits. I never heard of anyone keeping a bowl of flour and hand-rolling them. My mother never made biscuits-I have no idea why.

[@shirleylaboy603]

I live in the North East and have always bought my white lily flour from Amazon but their prices have gotten ridiculously high so I can't get it now. Dukes Mayo is outrageous in price for us up here also.I still make biscuits but with another flour. (Not the same). I miss White Lily.

[@beboboymann3823]

I go to Bojangles when I want a biscuit…..usually get the country ham and egg biscuit sometimes sausage and egg. Bojangles biscuits are as close to homemade as can be I think.

[@brat46]

I don't make biscuits much anymore but when I do I make suare biscuits, cutting them with the bench scraper.

[@terebrown2892]

Me, too. And I make square tortillas! Most every tortilla recipe they're always grieving over getting them rolled out round. I just roll out big rectangles, cut in squares or rectangles and fry em up. Easier for tacos, enchiladas, whatever. Didn't mean to hijack your video, Tammy. Just had to share about the squares. I've been cooking for almost 70 years, but I almost always learn something new from your videos. Keep up the good work! Love to you and Chris!

[@alaciacreek4977]

Miss Tammy, I've always used cold butter and leaf lard in my biscuits and pies, so I'm not real familiar with shortening. Does it need to be cold, and does it keep in the fridge or at room temperature? Thank you for teaching us!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Room temperature
