Southern Angel Biscuits, Mamaw's Recipe too! Cook 'em Up in a Cast Iron Skillet

[@fyrdawg533]

Hi! I'm a 65 yr old guy who just started cooking with cast iron less than a year ago. I stumbled onto your video quite by accident while searching for recipes for cast iron cookware. Last night I mixed up a batch of the Southern Angel Biscuits (per your instructions) and refrigerated them overnight. Took them out of the refrigerator this morning, followed the directions provided, used a 2 3/4" biscuit cutter and ended up with 25 wonderful biscuits that put to shame anything from a store and as good as any restaurant. I had enough dough to make the Cinnamon Rolls, so I embarked on that adventure. Long story short, I had enough Cinnamon Rolls to fill a 10" cast iron skillet. The biscuits filled a 10" and 8" cast iron skillet. there were 13 in the larger and 12 in the smaller skillet. I took pics during the process and of the finished product. Thank you so much for these two recipes! (Sometimes, old dogs can learn new tricks!)

Too bad we can’t see your handiwork! I’m always hitting up thrift stores on the hunt for enamel coated cast iron cookware. I scored big on a 9 inch skillet for only $4! It’s been my newest and best pan for making Angel biscuits. I think I’ll follow your cue and use the other half of my dough to make some cinnamon rolls. Happy baking!

[@IvoryS2012]

The way you talk about your grandma and her biscuits makes me miss her too. My grandma was like her as well. Both recipes are wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

[@ToyRidgeDIY]

I made a pan of these biscuits this morning. I followed your instructions to the letter and they turned out perfectly. My family loved them.

[@debbiebazzle497]

Out of all the different ways to make biscuits I have to say these are by fare THE BEST. Thank you

[@RainbowGardens]

Wow, thank you!

[@MsLILYANA7]

This is the best biscuit recipe I've ever tasted, even better than dinner rolls. It was a big hit with my family. Thank you!

[@maxartusy6378]

My grandmother in Dallas was called Mamaw, interestingly. Probably born in 1880 or so. Of course she made wonderful biscuits and all that she touched was great.

[@slight1699]

Made your Mamaw's recipe exactly - came out great! These are the Bomb! Cooking time was 17-20 mins total. Thanks!

[@jackass007ify]

This has become my go to recipe and all my family and friends love them. I'm making them again today for a post Royal wedding picnic at our local fishing lakes. Like scones they are lovely with cream , jam and strawberries.

[@RainbowGardens]

Oh yes, sounds wonderful. I made them last year with blueberry honey butter. You might like this recipe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2GyhWODd9Ssn5o

[@cynthiajordan8751]

Your Mamaw and mother were Beautiful. Loved seeing the old photos. Now I want to make some biscuits.

[@Sally-216]

Took your advise and baked until just beginning to Brown on top.....let them cool down and froze in vacuum sealed bag. OMG!!! So wonderful!

[@devinthomas4866]

Beautiful story We had a Mamaw in Alabama! Watched her make biscuits all the time, she made Tea cake dough too, we ate it before she could ever make tea cakes!! Thanks for sharing great recipe and family story

[@angelashelton6337]

The one's with their thumbs down have no idea what comfort country food is all about ....... I am also a country cook n I love these Angel biscuits with my awesome country irish pan gravy. 💞💚🍀

[@AZZapper1]

So pleasant... I imagine your dear "Mamaw" making these delicious biscuits. Thanks.

[@cindysealine5350]

I made these last night/this morning. Used about half the dough and it yield me 11 nice size biscuits that filled my 10” cast iron. These are super tasty and will be my go to biscuit recipe. I was a bit concerned with how they would turn out due to altitude, I live at about 5500, no issues whatsoever! Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!

[@AussieAngeS]

My goodness I think those are the best biscuits I've ever seen. How wonderful, thank you for sharing

[@RainbowGardens]

+FitAnge S Thank you so much. I hope you can give them a try! :)

[@ladymiller1975]

Hello from Ohio. Thank you so much for this recipe and the video. This is by far the best biscuit recipe I have ever tried. I made these tender biscuits today using your recipe and instructions. Thank you so much.

[@solitarybee3714]

+John P I believe you must have seen on the video where it said the biscuits are made from a "refrigerated yeast biscuit dough" and assumed that was a store bought product. It is her own dough, refrigerated.

[@sedalghamdi8561]

Never tried it hope one day I will have the chance to taste them.look so good anyway.

[@Mousland-723]

Thank you, thank you!!! I need to make biscuits for a brunch I am hosting this weekend. I have tried several recipes and they all came out like hockey pucks. Not the light, fluffy, airy, delicious biscuits I had in mind, UNTIL i tried your recipe. Awesome, perfect. Thank you.

[@eneal2056]

Your Mamaw sounds like she was an awesome lady. Her biscuits look delicious. Thanks for sharing a treasured family recipe.

That cast iron skillet tho! Wow this really takes me back to my childhood!! My grandma would always make hers in a cast iron skillet too. The biscuits look great! Thank you for sharing ❤

[@michaelstradley4579]

I have a friend that has a dedicated cast iron skillet for just her biscuts or corn bread,,cook eggs in it one mornin,,,,will NEVER do that again!!!!

[@whollymary7406]

Thank You for sharing your memories of you grandma and her recipe and thank you for wearing gloves and using utensils instead of your hands to cook, this is how I was taught and it’s the proper way to treat food and the people who are eating it, God Bless

[@beautenaturelle9989]

Never mind my question if biscuits have to be refrigerated over night +Rainbow Garden. I just read the recipe on the Southern Living website which said to chill dough for an hour then make biscuits. But it is good to know that they can be left in the fridge overnight as shown by you here. I will use half of the dough to make biscuits this morning and get up and make the other half tomorrow. Thank you so much for sharing both recipes!

[@RainbowGardens]

Thanks so much! We just finished our Saturday morning breakfast & had the biscuits. I made the dough Tuesday. It keeps very well in the fridge. I let it rest in the fridge loosely covered for a few hours then I put it in a plastic bag tightly closed to keep it from drying out. If you don't bag it well, it will dry out quickly and is not good for using.

[@beautenaturelle9989]

Rainbow Gardens Thank you so much for tip! I am about to bake a batch after letting it sit an hour in the fridge. I will put the other half in a zip lock bag. So glad you responded I would have ruined my unused batched, lol. Enjoy your weekend dear heart!

[@Doug6714]

I have an Angel Biscuit Recipe my mom gave me. I haven't made them in over 20 yrs. I need to get the recipe out and make some. This made me hungry for some.

[@lovemyanimals4712]

I have tried so many different biscuit recipes on youtube, thought I had found the perfect one till I tried yours. Omg, these are to die for. I love the yeast flavor combined with the texture of a biscuit. I can stop looking now...lol Thank you so much for sharing! :)

[@RainbowGardens]

Thank you so much! i am glad you enjoyed them.

[@Gutslinger]

Yeast flavor?. I'm not particularly fond of that flavor. 😬

[@MyJesusJourney]

Wow this is about the best recipe i believe I've seen!

[@goodlbou2541]

Made the southern living recipe biscuits for Christmas brunch today. They was absolutely amazing. Thank you very much. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.🎄🎄

[@RainbowGardens]

Same to you!

[@jumpjoyfuljoy]

Just made these and they are wonderful. I made two batches: the Southern Living & memaw's. The Southern Living ones are my preference. I also used 4 tsp of sugar. I love them. They are so fluffy & delicious. Thank u for sharing.

[@southerngrits920]

We in the morning, use to take leftover biscuits split them open .butter and fry them in a pan till brown. Then we used syrup etc on them. SC early memories of my grandmother making biscuits is an oval wooden bowl.

[@november1120]

[@RosieTheRiveterWWII]

I loved everything about this video, just to show that I haven't seen everything there is to enjoy. Loved how you kept and share the family recipes, and sharing mawmaw's lovely photos. Oh can't forget that bluegrass tune.

[@marryannlamb9853]

Thanks so very much for sharing.

[@thebighat99]

I made these biscuits and they turned out great and my mom loved them. Thanks for the video.

[@jumpoffa5011]

I made these biscuits both ways. You're right, the Southern Living recipe was a bit lighter, but; it was your Mamaw's receipt that just hit the right spot for me. My family and I prefer your Mamaw's receipt overall. Goes great with gravy, white, brown or dark; it doesn't matter, it still tasted great. Thank-You.

[@RainbowGardens]

Oh wonderful! Thank you sooo much for letting me know. I am happy you enjoyed them with your family.

[@jumpoffa5011]

I thank you for putting yourself out there and share this recipe with us, one and all. :-)

[@eckankar7756]

My grandmother's recipe was similar to yours. Her recipe had the fresh made biscuits to sit in the pan for an hour to double in size before baking rather than chill in the refrigerator over night. The biscuits rose by the yeast and the baking powder (no baking soda in her recipe) which made soft, fluffy biscuits. She would make the biscuits a the night before, cut them out and place in the refrigerator for a slow yeast rise. In the morning let them warm up and place in a cool oven then turn the temp of the oven up.

[@RainbowGardens]

Sounds wonderful!

[@willajohnson8577]

I made them, dough in frig...but the smell of yeast made me want to cook immediately lol tks☺🍞

[@giovannaprit]

Enjoyed the trip to Grandma's house. How precious. Those biscuits look absolutely gorgeous! They look like the perfect yeast biscuit. I can't wait to try them with a little honey butter. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

[@RainbowGardens]

My great-aunt made biscuits and cornbread in her cast iron skillet those are very fond memories for me. I didn't get the opportunity to get her recipe for her biscuits before she passed away (I was only around 17) but I did get the recipe for her cornbread and still use it today. Your grandmother's recipe looks like my aunt's so I'm going to try it in my cast iron skillet. Thanks

[@dianer.9203]

Hi Rainbow 🌈 Gardens. I'm using this recipe to teach my 8 year old granddaughter how to make perfect biscuits! We've done pie dough and cakes. Now the biscuits! Thank you 😍😘

thank you so much I can't wait to try these biscuits they look so very yummy

[@alancarnell2747]

We had these in the '70s at Elementary school. At least three times a week. Soooo good.

[@Wildart2]

We had some type of Yeasty rolls too, I was wondering if they were Angel Biscuits, they were sooooo good. Are you sure they were Angel Biscuits?

[@alancarnell2747]

@@Wildart2 they were rolls but they were called biscuits for some reason. It was southern WV which explains a lot. I still long for them.

[@Wildart2]

@@alancarnell2747 I was in East Tennessee 60's 70's, I bet they were using the same product. I remember seeing a big pan in the dumpster that had a picture of dinner rolls on it. I think they purchased them they were too consistent to be homemade and that would have been a lot of work for the woman to make bread all the time.

I’ve been wanting to try these (Mawmaws/Southern biscuits) for some time now but the opportunity never arose , something always too presidence (got lazy, thought it was too much work, didn’t want to wait till the next day to eat them, didn’t have all the ingredients). These are the BEST biscuits (they should be called something other (biscuits don’t do them justice at all). I did exactly as you said and they were GREAT, better than restaurants (hands down)
