How To Make Better Biscuits! - Cooking Videos

[@msstort]

Love seeing your sweet face again. I hope everyone is doing well. And I appreciate the soda/powder info.

[@kattinabyse1957]

This is the kind of science our students should be learning. And it should never be separated from life. Love this.

[@mollysmith6055]

There goes my diet, now I have to make biscuits. lol When I was a new bride a new friend (also a new bride) who was from the South taught me her method and it put my mom and grandma's biscuits to shame. I've never made them any way but hers since then. You do most of the same things and how nice that you put out such a good video to teach others too. Your kids are going to have such good educations with a natural born teacher like you to lead them.

[@JimAckroyd]

They're called scones here in the UK. Here biscuits are hard like your cookies. Biscuits is taken from the French for 'Baked twice'. Brownies is like our biscuits but just baked once. Love your channel.

[@Brifromscratch]

Thank you for the clarification. :)

[@yukiemorozumi9689]

A new fan here. I love gardening and cooking from scratch and what I love the most about your lovely family is letting kids to be kids! It's enjoyable seeing them helping you around too.

[@countrymousesfarmhouse497]

I remember my first batches after I got married, they were hockey pucks. We just didn't have them often growing up and when we did my mum would whip up a batch and just never really emphasised the most important bit. fairy fingers. haha. mine now are fantastic.

[@Brifromscratch]

Yes we did eat some hockey pucks before we learned.

[@dragonflygrandma]

That is the clearest information on baking powder and soda I have ever seen/heard.......Thank you Bri

[@joanreid2804]

Well, My Dear, I just learned a lot from you about baking soda vs baking powder. I have always just tea spooned it into my ingredients never knowing really why. lol I guess because the recipe told me to. Thank you for sharing. I adore the baby's smile, he lights up my heart!

[@Brifromscratch]

Yes, he makes us smile all the time.

[@kirstenwhitworth8079]

Bri, I love your cooking videos. You are a great teacher. Actually, both you and Art are great teachers and wonderful parents. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@Brifromscratch]

You are very welcome.

[@Vintagebeliever]

I never knew the difference between baking powder and soda... Thanks for the lesson!! :)

[@Brifromscratch]

You're welcome!

[@TheCarmac3]

I was born in the mid 50's, and back then, my mother bought our orange juice in a frozen, concentrated form. Now, the cans are cardboard,,,,,,I guess, but back then, the juice was in small metal cans. You had to use a can opener to open the can to extract the frozen juice. That opened and cleaned can was what Mama used for a biscuit cutter. They were smaller than biscuits of today, but oh so good.

[@benmatthews3732]

Nice video - thanks! I remember watching my grandmother make biscuits in the 50s, and she used just a metal bowl and her hands to mix everything. This was on a small homestead in Bristol Tennessee. She was a wonder - I wish I could go back in time and learn from her now. (Beth)

[@Brifromscratch]

There are so much knowledge that the "old" timers have. Our neighbors are in their 70's and they teach us every time we hang out with them. My papa (grandfather) is a wealth of knowledge as well.

[@cariepickerell3214]

I love seeing young kids cooking and baking. So many have no idea how to cook from scratch. It is becoming a lost art. It is our responsibility as parents and adults to teach the young. Thank you Bri for being a awesome mom and taking the time with your children. My daughter now makes better biscuits than me. Makes me so happy.

[@tara_a_santiago]

Well there ya go teaching me something... I'm on a mission to watch all your older videos from the start. I have to admit you have this 40 something year old a thing or two, Thanks guys ❤️

[@amberrogers4870]

Probably the best biscuits I have ever made!! Followed exact instructions. Thank you!!

[@Brifromscratch]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@kcvriess]

I need to find me a wife like you. Pretty and natural, smart, sweet and kind, hard working yet playful and fun, a great mom and a great cook! Thanks for the showing us how to make biscuits so light and fluffy. I'm gonna make them for breakfast for my daughters this coming weekend. I'm a cooking dad, but I still have a lot to learn.

[@1994abbygirl]

Baby has aspirations of being a plumber Mom! Biscuits yum! Looks beautiful!

[@Brifromscratch]

It would be great to have a plumber in the family!

[@Lisa-pe4kq]

Sweet video! I've been making biscuits for years and just this years have improved my process by grating the very cold butter in. This method came about because I needed to make biscuits and my butter was frozen!

[@Brifromscratch]

Neat!

[@kateymateymusic1]

That was a great explanation of Bicarbonate soda and Baking powder! Thanks!

[@lyndawilliams8434]

Lol, Im a brit, and I always wondered what americans meant by 'biscuits' Its scones! So many american references suddenly make so much more sense.. thanks :D

[@Brifromscratch]

Glad to help! We grew up eating English biscuits at my grandmother's so I can imagine how funny something like "biscuits and gravy" would seem.

[@oakcreekfarm7069]

Ain't KZbin great! So glad the language barrier is breaking down.

[@smokeyangelav]

Not exactly though the ingredients are very similar. I'm not sure what you have that's more comparable though. Biscuits are best when flaky and are often served with gravy and sausage on top. Scones are more of a treat, often contain fruit and are crumbly, shaped more triangular (but don't have to be) sometimes topped with a course sugar and enjoyed with tea or coffee. Breads are certainly confusing when you think about it! I actually had my first scone three years ago that my friend made. I've been craving them ever since.

[@lyndawilliams8434]

Sharon B Actually the recipe is exactly the same, you can have both sweet and savoury scones, cheese scones are a favourite. We dont have them with sausage and gravy true, but then we have yorkshire pudding.. which is a batter cake, almost a pancake, for that. Traditonal Devon cream teas are a cup of tea, and a sweet scone, filled with strawberry jam (jelly) and topped with clotted cream.

[@jch1965]

+lynda williams great information 😊👍

[@beverlycook4913]

You got it!!! Soo easy when you know. You did a beautiful job. I love your videos. The teaching is cool! Love you all!

[@Audrie268]

Loved the science lesson at the end! Appreciate you taking the time!

[@Hannahcode1]

Pancake batter is the same, in that you can stir it too much real easy. Nice job, that's just how i do it. Perfect every time!

[@tealkerberus748]

Those are definitely what as an Anglo Australian, I'd call scones. You can make them savoury or sweet. I was taught to use a sharp stainless steel scone cutter for cutting them out, or a sharp knife for squares or triangles - smudging the sides down with a blunt cutter stops them rising so well.

[@sam.b.10]

What a neat lesson about the baking powder/soda!

[@pinkyblessed2218]

I've made this recipe for years after many sad results from over handling my dough. I finally figured out to be gentle & make sure your patted dough ball is no shorter than 1/2" in depth. (Taller is better still) Wow! Watch'em rise! Don't over bake them either. Nothing better than a tall, golden, light & fluffy biscuit. If a batch fails, though, no worries! Crumble them up w/ your cornbread & make dressing! Yum! Another great video! Love cooking science!💕

[@everythingsunflowersandmor2631]

I'm a southern girl and have yet to concur perfect biscuits so Thank You So Much!!!!

[@batttylady]

Loved the explanation of the baking soda and baking powder. I never knew those things. Thanks so much for sharing. Great video.

[@Brifromscratch]

Thanks.

[@diannemiller4754]

My biscuits were always hard like a hockey 🏒. I saw a video showing how you pat the dough on a lightly floured counter. Then pat down, then tri fold it 3 or 4 times. Then lightly flatten to the thickness you like. Turned out wonderful and fluffy. I'm going to try your recipe on the grands

[@6996katmom]

I just heard a great suggestion from Ree Drumond. She makes biscuits like you---gentle on the touch, but she said to cut them into squares so you don't have to gob up the excess to make a few more. I never thought of that. My mind was always on round biscuits. I also am too rough with mine. I am glad you showed how to be so gentle and not overmix the dough. Thanks

[@evpalfy2464]

Hi, love your videos! I form a large sausage with my dough. Then slice gently. No leftovers and quicker. Enjoy!!

[@Brifromscratch]

I will try that. I don't think the kids would like no leftovers though, they love to make their own little biscuits with the leftovers and eat it raw.

[@cookswithiron875]

Oh my goodness this is some great and very useful information between the baking soda and powder. I'm gonna have to write this down and put it in my recipe book so I don't forget the difference in the two. Thanks

[@jessies3236]

My husband is going to be thrilled thank you so much!!

[@Brifromscratch]

You're welcome! I hope they turn out perfectly.

[@margiebooher5998]

Love this demonstration thank you so much

[@vickierusard7512]

This secret is also true with muffin making. I love you guys...you make my day.

[@Brifromscratch]

Thanks so much.

[@adrianahernandez4993]

Tried your recipe, and although I made a mistake adding a bit too much buttermilk, was able to salvage and they were delish!!! Love your videos. Thank you.

[@brianleonard6025]

Hi Bri, I have to say I absolutely loved this video!! Your explanation about baking soda and baking powder was amazing and really opened my eyes on how these two ingredients react and in different circumstances. I lobe to bake but now I'll take making biscuits to a whole new level!! Can't wait to try it out. My grandmother used lard instead of butter, in her biscuit's. Thank again and May God Bless you and your family and keep you all healthy and safe from harm.

[@Brifromscratch]

Lard makes the best biscuits and pie crust. I look forward to when I have some to use!

[@allisonsfollys7713]

I loved the lesson on the difference between baking soda and baking powder . took me till 69 yrs old but better late than never. ...

[@josephtirgoala7647]

I was actually wondering what the difference was between baking soda and baking powder...thank you for explaining :) now I'm off to make some biscuits

[@Brifromscratch]

Enjoy!

[@mmmmlllljohn]

Thanks, Bri, for the teachable moments. I always wondered about baking powder but as I’m not a baker, I never thought to look it up... but I love to learn so TFS! I am going to try your pastry, however. You should be enjoying a well earned vacation right about now. Hugs from Canada! 🇨🇦

[@msmarygardner]

That baby is going to be a plumber chasing underwear down toilets!! Thanks for the biscuit lesson! You're spot on when it comes to being tender to get tender biscuits. I'm off to make biscuits and gravy!!

[@nancyd.2881]

Hi Bri. I just tried your homemade biscuits and they are so good it didn’t last the evening. I will make more tomorrow morning for breakfast and coffee. I miss your recipe videos. Nancy from Maryland

[@saram.3639]

[@Brifromscratch]

Thank you! That encouragement means a lot.

[@mariaengle2202]

I love watching this video. Thank you so much for the lesson. awesome.

[@tonation5038]

Thanks for that great demo. I've been putting off baking biscuits for way too long, even if I AM a lazy cook!

[@Brifromscratch]

Biscuits are easy! Perfect for the lazy cook.

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

Great info. Homeschool science lesson to share with the grand & foster kids.

[@eanleeparkin7004]

I love watching your videos and delicious food.

[@intentionalhomesteadingmi]

Great video Bri! You're so genuine and sweet & the editing was great. Thanks for sharing :)

[@Brifromscratch]

Thank you!

[@livinglife8333]

I add a bit more buttermilk so it's wet and sticky, then I use an ice cream scoop and drop large glob in my flour and just coat it then put into a greased square cake pan or glass dish so they are touching. Then bake as normal, they are fantastic.

[@Brifromscratch]

I will have to try that! The kids would love to do the scooping.

[@carolynclark588]

thank you

[@karlagrecar4317]

I have never made biscuits, you make it look so easy I want to try now. Thank you.

[@Brifromscratch]

Let us know how it goes.

[@LindaPenney]

thank you for sharing have a blessed day

[@timothywolfe2289]

i loved the video it was very informative you even managed to teach this old dog something new

[@Brifromscratch]

Good.

[@suzi7715]

Thanks for the tip!!!

[@jch1965]

As a Southerner, I love my biscuits! In fact, I believe September is National Homemade Biscuit Month! 😊 There's a certain satisfaction in baking a pan of fluffy buttermilk biscuits. 😍 Enjoyed the video. That opening sunrise was beautiful!

[@Brifromscratch]

I had no idea it was Biscuit Month!

[@jch1965]

+ART and BRI yeah, ain't it awesome?! 😁 Wheat does not agree with me so I make almond flour biscuits. They're good but not as good as traditional biscuits.

[@Brifromscratch]

I would love your recipe for those!

[@jch1965]

I was just going through some of your older videos and ran across this comment. Here's my almond flour biscuit recipe. :) heartofacountryhome.wordpress.com/2013/12/30/almond-flour-biscuits-low-carb-•-grain-free/

[@melissabryan2448]

The add before your video was about biscuits lol Thank for the helpful hints on making homemade biscuits! love your channel!

[@Brifromscratch]

Interesting. Were you searching for biscuits before you watched the video?

[@melissabryan2448]

no, I follow your videos as well as the Rhodes channel :) yall are so inspiring. I am interested in homesteading and living off the land. I loved the video when yall opened the different jars you found... it lets us kinds see how long they may store for ... of course im sure it depends on how it was done in all.

[@Brifromscratch]

Very true.

[@dalilahabdullah4986]

Thank you for sharing

[@tillmanthebeeman3972]

Iam going to try these and thanks for sharing.

Great, hope i can retain all that...

[@laurafifer4453]

Bri? You didn’t show me your biscuits, out of the oven whole. 🤨 And thanks for the lesson, i had no clue i am bad in the baking department. I will get lemons tomorrow and try this. ❤️

[@celestielbalson8749]

Great video and explanations!

[@sheisclean]

Wow! I just learned a ton from you thanks so much.

[@e.cahill9594]

Your biscuits look great, can’t wait to make them. You mentioned peach butter, do you have a recipe?

[@davidburkey9889]

Bri and Art Justin and the Buitiful, ask to look up your blog. So glad I did. I have been thinking about fixing crayfish, just to see if I would like them. I don't like the taste of fish, but love sea food. So I was wondering if they would taste like Lobster. So if your daughters could have the nerve to try them, so could I. All I have to do now, is get the nerve to do it. HeHeHe! David Burkey

[@mjackson780]

If you use self-rising flour you won't have to add baking powder or baking soda. Old timers would add vinegar to their milk to make it like buttermilk. Guess getting old has its advantages! Using cold butter, shortening or lard is key to making tender, fluffy biscuits. The kids really enjoyed those biscuits!

[@Brifromscratch]

We use vinegar sometimes. Don't have buttermilk on hand often.

[@Hicks6family]

Bri's Lip Smackin' Biscuits. Looks Great

[@annaking9213]

Loved

[@Henaynei]

Great information!

[@Brifromscratch]

Thanks.

[@kiwinest5769]

I'm in New Zealand and we call cookies biscuits, I did know they were like a bread kind of thing there but I wasn't thinking and I watched that whole video thinking that was the strangest recipe, then at the end I realised! I've never had those before and now I know how they're made I will have to try making them for my family. Seems like a similar recipe to scones. 🙂

[@Brifromscratch]

Indeed, similar to your scones, usually made without sugar however. An extremely poplar breakfast item in the US (at least in the south) is biscuits and sausage gravy.

[@kiwinest5769]

+ART and BRI looks delicious! Thank you for replying! 😊

[@CleoCastonguay47]

Thanks for sharing your biscuits recipe... You showed us how you make pie crusts not too long ago but I didn't copy the recipe... I would like to try my hand and bake an apple pie to surprise my wife. Would you kindly send me your pie crust recipe and your apple pie recipe as well... Thank You.... :)

[@somemorebooks1159]

I have never made homemade biscuits. Imma have to try these out😁

[@Brifromscratch]

They are very different than anything you can buy.

[@imabeliever4341]

Bodacious Biscuits . . . great name. Gotta use your recipe and technique. Biscuits have never been too successful for me either. (Adding lemon to the milk makes it sour milk, not buttermilk. I always make sour milk rather than buying the buttermilk.) Thank you for sharing. Your family is lovely.

[@Brifromscratch]

Yes, I should have been more clear about that. Art edited this, so he accidentally left out a few key things.

[@Brifromscratch]

Yes, sour milk.

[@laurafifer4453]

ART and BRI still! You are awesome!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@kmcquack8989]

Trona! did not learn about that in public school

[@not2tees]

We're seeing Bri's homeschool teacher side!

[@melissajarvis4829]

Any suggestions for when using whole wheat flour? And, if choosing to do drop biscuits, would you still cut the butter until pea sized? Or would you go smaller, more like cornmeal? Just hoping you (or someone) sees this and answers - I know this is years later.... It was fun seeing how young everyone is here!

[@webbsway]

Great video sweetie!

[@Brifromscratch]

Well thank you!

[@justin7sanchez]

wow, this vlog rocks!

[@Brifromscratch]

Thanks so much. We are working hard and having fun.

[@venitanudd9648]

Bri.....was that a whole stick of butter.....well I was so excited how well the milk turned out that I put milk in first....therefore, butter wasn't crumbled enough....the smoke detector went off with melted butter in the oven. Lolololo, but they were so good....all these years I've used vinegar in milk,but lemon works sooo much better. Can hardly wait to try gram's donut recipe with this buttermilk....you are amazing. Just found you on utube....I'm 64.....I get tired watching you with the kids and all you do,but I guess when I had my kids40 years ago I probably had more energy...thank u again...Venita in NH

[@maniacmom5790]

Now I know what I was doing wrong with my biscuits. Good thing I'll be getting a son-in-law soon and he want home made biscuit and I need to teach my daughter. P.S. I'm feeling better I'm aloud to walk around a little bit. I do have to have a shot o Lovethox two times a day. Ouch!!!! Thank you so much for your prayers.

[@Brifromscratch]

Glad to hear that you are feeling better. Thanks for letting us know. I hope you enjoy your biscuits.

[@Brifromscratch]

The price can be an ouch too!

[@CottageGardensonForest]

I use vinegar to make buttermilk. Does using fresh lemon instead taste different? Do you always make everything from scratch? I learned more in this vlog then I ever did in home economics. Thanks

[@janonthemtn]

I have found, using a sharp, floured, biscuit cutter makes biscuits raise up higher.

[@Brifromscratch]

Thanks! These got squished down a bit by little hands They are usually higher.

[@susiestebbins7049]

I see you use king arthur flour that's made in my home state actually where I . Live now Vermont!! Have you ever made their no knead bread the recipe is on their website and I bet it would be perfect for your family

[@Brifromscratch]

Will look this up.

[@rsoubiea]

i made biscuits for my mom but we used bisquick. i loved helping her make dinner. if i baked them in my cast iron skillet would they come out crispy? i love dutch ovens, cast iron and crock pot cooking. i'm not very knowledgeable about cast iron i only own one big skillet i would like to use more. i hate cleaning and re seasoning it.
