Good recipe for biscuits

[@martinmiller235]

Hello My Friend. How are you? I'm happy to report after 2 trays of the saddest biscuits ever.I tried a third tray I followed your video to everything you said ,and every move you made. I stopped the video if I missed a step ,and rewind the video. I placed the biscuits in the oven,and set the timer on the stove. Suddenly a Bing! I opened the oven door,and I knew this was it. I took them out ,and waited,for them to cool down. The look.The smell was amazing. As I lifted them ,and put them in a rubber container except,for one. I pulled the biscuits apart,and put butter on it. I can not tell you how good that biscuit was. I was ,so proud of myself. I know mom was in the kitchen too. I'm,so grateful to you. Thank you.

That's wonderful to hear! If you haven't made these, make sure you practice a time or two first - just to make sure you've got the feel for the dough and making sure the oven is hot enough. Let me know how it goes and God bless you!

I love a biscuit with a bit of honey butter, delicious. I'm almost 60 years old and I've just started on my journey to make biscuits and make them well, I'm definitely going to try this recipe. My husbands mom comes from Arkansas, though she grew up in California she made biscuits his whole life, then he married me and I crack open a tube of Pillsbury biscuits, yeah they're definitely not the same. Hoping I'll be able to make something that looks as good as yours. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

That is awesome! What a great project for you to tackle! Your husband will be so happy once you master biscuit-making. Please be patient with yourself! Even those of us who were born and raised in the south seldom get biscuit-making right at first. It takes some trial and error to get the hang of how the dough is supposed to look and feel, how hot the oven needs to be, the best place to bake the biscuits in your particular oven, and how long to bake them for. It might sound strange, but there also really is a difference in the kind of flour you use! I hate that Daily Bread flour isn't available all over the place unless you order online, but I know there are plenty of decent flours for making biscuits. I just don't know from experience with those other flours which ones I would recommend. Again, it will just be trial and error, so hang in there and you will get it and they will be your OWN delicious biscuit recipe!

[@scottyarnold7262]

I’m almost 60 as well and have always been terrified of a good biscuit recipe. I’m doing this one first thing tomorrow!!

[@patsmith5947]

My husband grew up in the country in the middle of the state of Kansas and his school lunches consisted of a biscuit unless they had chili or sloppy joes. He hated the biscuits and he was made to clean his plate so he put the biscuit in his pocket and many times his mother washed them. I like the flaky biscuits that Pillsbury sells.

This reminds me of my grandma... I stayed with her during the summers when I was out for summer break. Some of the earliest memories were of her cooking biscuits and Karo syrup. She is no longer with us. Miss her so much. Made me cry. I never learned how to make them. So this was lost to me. My aunts biscuits weren't like my grandma's. This is exactly how I remember her making them. Except with lard. She used it a lot. Thank you for teaching me. Now I will have to buy the flour and other stuff to make them. Thank you!

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

I love seeing this! A lot of folks have said seeing this biscuit video reminded them of their mothers or grandmothers. I hope you do make these and that you let me know how they turn out. If they aren't just right the first time, don't give up! It can take making them a few times to get a feel for the dough consistency and the heat of your oven. Also, some self-rising flours may be more to your liking than others!

[@covacoppler8843]

These biscuits look delicious. My mother taught me how to make biscuits when I was a little girl. I always used self rising flour and lard or butter and milk or buttermilk. I would always roll my dough a little thicker than cut out the biscuits. They always came out great. If we had biscuits left over we would eat them cold. They were eventually gone. I will try the parchment paper.thank you.

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

Thank you for the comment! I love seeing how many people have happy memories of learning to make biscuits from their mothers or grandmothers. This is such a delicious thing to know how to make! 🙂

[@christenastachowski2880]

I make my biscuits using self rising flour and butter flavored Crisco and buttermilk. I pat them out and I like smaller biscuits I have a tomato paste can that I cut both ends out and cut my biscuits out with it and bake them at 450° oven in a spayed glass pie dish and place my biscuits touching then they stand up straight and tall. I don't like real crunchy bottoms I like them on the soft side and love them with butter and honey. I live alone so I make them once or twice a week and store the leftovers in a zip lock bag and warm some up for my breakfast every day untill they are gone.

[@crystalfranklin2583]

Do you not end up with too much flour and dry biscuits if you scoop the flour, since it packs down the flour? I spoon the flour into the measuring cup and then level it off at the top. Also, I learned that cutting biscuits with a glass and twisting tends to compress the dough and can make for more dry, less fluffy biscuits. Not trying to be critical or judgy or anything. I just want people to know this in case, like me, they have dry biscuits and can't figure out why. I absolutely learned some good info from your video and it really helps me improve my cooking when I can pick up tips and ideas from others. Things tend to stick with me better if I understand the hows and whys, so your tip about baking biscuits at a higher temperature rather than a longer amount of time is extremely helpful. It makes sense because ovens get hotter and dryer the longer they're on, hence so does the food you're baking in the oven. That's kinda basically what baking is. Cooking with heated air. Thank you for sharing your video!

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

I’ve never had an issue with dry biscuits or biscuits that are too dense. But then again, I’m not really packing the flour in there. I’m just lightly grabbing a scoop of it and flattening it as I bring it out of the canister. I don’t use a glass for cutting biscuits. I either use my biscuit cutters, or I use my hands to shape them.

[@jillrossiter5563]

Hi, I'm from Australia, and we mostly have jam and whipped cream on our biscuits, which we call them scones. This is how we love them. 😊❤️

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

Self-rising flour in the USA already has salt so I’ve never added salt to biscuits. Also, I use salted butter, although a lot of folks use unsalted. I never even buy unsalted butter for anything. I don’t mind a tiny bit more salt at all! 😁 I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe and found a way to make it your own! ❤️

I know so many young women weren’t raised with the opportunities that I’ve had, coming from a more traditional family where all the women are good cooks and have always taken a lot of pride in making delicious food for their families. These days so many young women were raised by mothers who had to be busy working outside the home and did a lot of convenience foods, or perhaps their families have moved around the country and missed out on being near grandma to hang out with her in her kitchen. They have lost touch with traditional recipes and cooking styles so they are just having to figure things out on their own. I’m happy to share whatever I know that might help them.

I was so happy to see someone make biscuits with regular milk. I never use buttermilk. We only have skim milk in the refrigerator and I don't care for the "add vinegar" trick. So, I use what I have. I have white lily self rising flour (which I sift) and crisco shortening for my biscuit ingredients. I sometimes add a spoonful of sugar to help the biscuits get a little more golden color. Your advice to get a "hot" oven is also a great tip. It helps make the steam to puff the biscuits fluffy inside, too. We have our biscuits with butter and honey, split for various breakfast sandwiches, and for sausage gravy, of course!

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

I've never done the add vinegar trick. Buttermilk is cultured so it just isn't the same to just add vinegar. I do have a video on buttermilk biscuits, which includes a trick on how to keep a perpetual supply of buttermilk if you do use it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHKteZuLdqqIg8U

Thank you for the recipe. I made three batches this morning. Very easy recipe however, my biscuits didn’t rise as much as yours did. I don’t know why…I didn’t mess with the dough a bunch at all and used cold butter I’m just not sure why they didn’t rise as much. Taste is there so we enjoyed them! Are used gold medal self rising flour because that is what was available.

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

Hmm… it may be the flour. Did you only get about six or seven (or at most 8) biscuits out of this? If you got more than that then it may just be that you pressed your dough out more to make more biscuits. Also, the baking powder might not have been as active in that batch of flour. Of course it might also be the wheat that they use for that particular brand of flour. The fact that you got good tasting biscuits is really the most important thing!

[@francesjackson2511]

Thank you for a great video! Very nice demonstration of making biscuits. I haven't tried self-rising flour, but I'm going to look for the Daily Bread brand. i prefer sweet milk biscuits, and most of the recipes I see on You Tube use buttermilk.

Daily Bread is the best! It can be ordered from here if you can't buy it locally: lakeside-mills.mybigcommerce.com/daily-bread-self-rising-flour-5lb/ Obviously, that's not ideal. It's better if you can find a self-rising brand locally that you love! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

Hi Toni! That's so kind of you to say! Thank you for watching and I'm glad to know you found my video helpful. I hope if you make these biscuits you'll let me know how they turn out. If they aren't perfect the first time, don't give up. It can just come down to getting a feel for the dough or getting the oven hot enough.

I was looking for a simple recipe and I happen to come across your channel. I made it right away but I substituted regular milk to almond milk and it still came out a fluffy biscuit.

Aww! Thanks for hanging out with me! 😁 Making biscuits is fun and easy, but don't get discouraged if they don't come out exactly the way you love them the first time. It takes a little bit of getting a feel for the dough, the heat of the oven, and the color of the tops of the biscuits to know where you might want to adjust.

Ive done yeast biscuits called in our house angel biscuits, buttermilk biscuits and baking powder biscuits.

We do sausage gravy also.

[@jnsmill]

Those biscuits look fantastic… I have been experimenting with biscuits, when using self rising flour butter and whole milk, they turned out great, except when making breakfast biscuits, with bacon, or ham and eggs, they had a tendency to crumble and fall apart, so I started adding 2 egg whites whipped into the milk, with 3 cups of flour… that solved the crumbling problem without effecting the taste of biscuits…. Oh, and I use a cast iron skillet, it makes a difference.

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

I’ve never tried using egg whites in biscuits before but I might try that sometime. Normally if I know I’m going to be putting meats inside of biscuits I just knead the dough a little bit. Do you know how in this video I talk about not kneading? I found that if I work the dough a little more it results in biscuits that aren’t as fluffy, but they do tend to hold together better. I certainly wouldn’t object to putting egg whites in biscuits though and if they result in being fluffy AND holding together, then that sounds great to me!

[@janemartin229]

I love the bread bowl! Around here, most people like White Lily flour for biscuits and cakes. I've never seen Daily Bread in the stores. I love fluffy biscuits and cakelike cornbread, but my Dad insisted on thin biscuits and unsweetened cornbread (he ruled the roost). We had one or the other every day and I had to make them. He would take cane syrup and margarine and stir it together to go on his biscuits. My husband and I like strawberry or blueberry preserves best on them.

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

The mill that produces Daily Bread flour was originally founded in 1736 about 20 or so miles from where my family is from (going back centuries), grinding corn meal - a big staple product in these parts. In time, they also provided wheat flour. Once self-rising flour became a thing in the mid-1800s, they started offering that and it has remained a popular brand around here even though they have moved to the western part of the state. The bread bowls are also something that is a traditional art here in eastern North Carolina, although sadly, I don't know anyone who makes them anymore. I do talk about the bread bowl in my video on making buttermilk biscuits with lard. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHKteZuLdqqIg8U
