A Traditional Appalachian Breakfast and How to Make Buttermilk Biscuit Bread & Oven Hash Browns 

My gosh, if every family had a mother like you, this nation would be so much better off. So awesome!!

I appreciate how she does everything from scratch. Healthier and cheaper

Delicious ! One of the things I love about watching you cook is that you scrape the bowls and get every little bit. That’s a sign of how important it is feeding your family and how valuable food is. That’s how I was taught as well and still do it today. Thank you.

I've been married 50 years this June and finally mastered buttermilk biscuits last year and grating the frozen butter was the key. I have homemade sausage in the freezer and just bought potatoes yesterday, and have lots of dried apples, so I'll be making this same breakfast Saturday morning. I just told my husband if I could eat a meal at any You Tubers kitchen it would be yours. You always cook what we call real food and it always looks so good.

I remember my Mamaw and my great grandmother making biscuits like your granny. Mamaw kept a large metal bowl with flour in it, would make a well in the middle, add the ingredients and use her hands to form them, then cover the bowl with a towel and put it back on the shelf. She made the best "cathead biscuits"! I miss them both...

My mom made fried apples and my dad many Saturday mornings would get up early to start breakfast. He would do the "biscuit bread", sausage, and fried potatoes. He would always wake up mom to do the eggs and gravy. Lots of great memories watching this video. Thank you!

I love watching your videos and learning about Appalachian cooking. Your biscuits and fried apples reminds me of a German recipe where you fry the apples with sugar and cinnamon and set it aside. In another pan, pour half of a biscuit mixture, layer the fried apples on top of that and top with the rest of the biscuit mixture, cover and cook for about 5 minutes, then flip it over and cook for another 5 minutes. You can top it with butter and honey. It tastes like apple fritters.

My mother made that bread but she used melted butter and called it batter bread. I've never seen anyone else make it. Brought back great memories.

My West Virginia Granny called it Pone Bread. She’d make it sometimes after school in the winter. When she made her biscuits she would pinch them out and put in her biggest cast iron skillet and put a big biscuit in the middle for my dad. I can almost smell the biscuits now. ❤

Watching your videos is like being at home again with my parents and gran. They are passed away but you sincerely do things how they would. feeding the family and keeping traditions. I love your channel. God bless.

It's so interesting and informative to watch traditional cooking like this. Most of the time it's professional cooks that I watch, but there is something special to be invited into somebody's home, thank you. 🙂 I will be giving that hash brown method a try as well. 😃

That made my mouth water! 😋 I’ve got to try the biscuit bread! The only thing I’ve had close, we called “drop biscuits”. The batter is just a tad thicker, but spoon them out in your skillet and we would break them apart. My aunt, who is in heaven now, would make those on the houseboat! My goodness, that would bring you out of the bed quick! 😊

Hi Tipper, I live in Michigan and enjoy learning from you about Appalachian history. I wanted to write you to tell you I made your fried apples and biscuit pan bread today for breakfast. I also made sausage gravy for the main dish with the biscuits. My family loved the bread and apples! The crispy edges of the bread were the best. Next time I am going to make the homemade hash browns. I tried them before but didn’t get the starch out and they were mushy. Thanks for sharing. I just love the videos of your family, I feel like we’re neighbors 😊

The no slip drawer liners like at Target works great for keeping cutting boards and trays from moving. I definitely end up doing things manually and leaving my fancy tools in the cupboard 😅

What a great breakfast! I was living in Denver in my high school days and my friend lived on a horse ranch. I would walk to her house in the morning to have breakfast with her before heading to school. Her grandmother prepared the best breakfast you could imagine. We were so lucky! Nothing like homemade cooing ! Thank you for sharing Tipper. God Bless

My Memo Flanary called that biscuit bread a Daddy Biscuit! She made that a lot. Fried apples for breakfast or supper if we had pork roast. We are from East Tennessee. We had fried mashed potato cakes sometime. And sausage gravy over white cornbread. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos!

My grandma also made the perfect biscuits! Even with scleroderma and multiple sclerosis making her hands hurt and unable to straighten they were still perfect and just like you described. Your videos and cooking style make me think of her every time I watch one, thank you. Her birthday would be in 2 days and biscuit comment brought back so many good memories cooking with her.

A man who gets you an apple peeler for Christmas is called a “ good catch” . Most don’t have one. I enjoy your meals and family.

When I lived with my Aunt and Uncle, breakfast every morning was fried ham & eggs, biscuits & gravy, thick sliced tomatoes (in summer) and hot coffee. I never ate so good before or since. Those were the days!

I was interested in the biscuit bread but WOW! never knew you could do hash browns that easily!!! THANK YOU!!! Really eager to try both recipes. Oh...and the apples. What a delicious sweet to go with the sausage. Appreciate you filming all this and sharing. Jesus bless.

My Mamaw and Granny both pinched their biscuits off instead of rolling and cutting them, and now my family call them Pinched Offs. I second the request for Granny (and Mrs. Cindy) to show us how they bake biscuits. My Aunt Linda (may she rest in peace) called what you're making Batter Bread. She baked it on top of the stove with a lid on the pan.

Looks delicious. Makes me think about the big breakfasts my mom would make every morning. When I was a kid, she used to make something like that bread for supper sometimes and I miss it SO much. I don't know if she ever wrote down a recipe for it to get exact measurements but I'm sure I can find it online. I need to try and make it. It was a sort of Biscuit Pone type thing. LOL It was a sort of cheat bread because I think it only had flour, milk and the secret ingredient...Duke's Mayonnaise. 😂 She made a big batter and cooked it in a cast-iron pan and the bottom would be lightly browned and crunchy and the top white and beautiful. She'd cut it like a pie and we would usually have it if she made maybe a big beef stew, pot of beans ...something to dip it in but it was good on its own.

That’s a great idea for the apples. I have also found my nylon cutting boards will slide around on my granite. To avoid this I use a damp towel or paper towels. Having them wet but wrung out so they’re not dripping really helps them stay in place.

When I lived in a small community in Virginia called Abbs Valley my mother would prepare her early harvest apples with butter and freeze them for the winter. When winter came and I was getting ready for school with snow on the ground she would cook those apples along with her famous biscuits, what a meal to start the day.

You always inspire me! I love having a big breakfast most days - it keeps me fueled because sometimes I don’t stop to eat again until 2 or 3 in the afternoon (I get busy with work and don’t keep my eye on the clock). The apples, potatoes, biscuit bread and homemade sausage just sounds so good! And I love eggs anyway they are cooked. I went through a large stack of some of my early and mid 1900s cookbooks this weekend looking for more breakfast ideas. I think breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. Those hash browns do look like no more ruined hash browns!!! Just the recipe I need! I have so many little appliances I have bought to make my kitchen work easier and, like you, I keep doing my meal preps the old fashioned way instead. I came to the conclusion the reason I do is because I am too lazy to clean up the small appliance when I am done using it. It is much quicker to wash a knife or a box grater, etc, than washing all the little pieces in the appliance separately and then having to put it back together! I do love your apple peeler! What a great invention! Thank you for this yummy meal idea. Now to go take my chicken pot pie out of the oven. I would much prefer to have your breakfast for my supper tonight! My Mom made breakfast for supper a lot when I was growing up! Donna. : )

You have inspired me to cook along side you. It's kinda a big deal because I got out of the hospital a few days ago and had no desire to eat or cook or clean. You got my mouth watering with that buttermilk bread. I remembered that I froze one cup portions of buttermilk for future use because it only comes in half gallons here and I'm one person. I'm one person who appreciates the tenderness and flavor that buttermilk adds to bread,corn bread and pancakes ect.. Thank you for you. God bless.

As an American watching you cook is so fun, I am also of Italian descent and we view cooking as sharing love with our family. Glad I found your videos. Can't wait to try the oven hashbrowns.

That's a feast of a breakfast! Looks delicious! Thanks for taking the time to share with us!

Oh my mother in law taught me to make the biscuit bread..she called it pone bread 😊 I'm in WV so these breakfasts are the best and such a happy time in our home. I used to love when the nephews would stay and I'd make up a huge breakfast and they'd stand in line like little ducks with their plates waiting for everything to be ready 😂❤ I'm going to try those hashbrowns! They look delicious 😋

Yum! that looks so delicious! My Tennessee mother-in-law would make the best biscuits, and never even measured the ingredients. Thanks so much for sharing this traditional and tasty breakfast!❤

🌟Just a quick suggestion! You can use those peeling strips to lay crisscross on top of a apple pie dough peace’s in the center of each strip, with cinnamon and sugar sprinkled on top! Note face the apple portion up, peeling down! THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR WONDERFUL IDEAS AND VIDEOS!

I don't know where you get the energy to cook such an enormous breakfast! It looks great! I can't see how you have time for anything else but cooking!

So happy you are releasing a cookbook! I just preordered my copy! Thanks for sharing your fascinating culture.

Glad you self-corrected re: "lazy", as anybody here knows for certain that would never apply to you, Tipper! This all looks so good. Thank you for another fun video and inspiration. 💓 🙌🏼

4:30 in the morning and I’ve so hungry for the past 2 hours and now I’m watching this and I want to cry!! I want this meal!

Love breakfast & that looks amazing. 😋😛 Whether it’s an English style breakfast or Appalachian style breakfast or another style, it can be breakfast, lunch or dinner. Even in the Army, the best Chow Hall meal was breakfast. No other meal is as regularly & consistently filling, wholesome & nutritious as a solid breakfast whether its dominated by eggs or oatmeal or cereal, etc. 🤪🍳🥚🥩🥓🧀🍞🥯🥐🍌🍓🍊🫐 Breakfast Rules!

My absolute favorite meal is breakfast! I truly can eat it all day everyday. You did a fantastic job there young lady. 👍🏻

My mind is blown - biscuit bread!!! Grew up in Northeast Tennessee and my mom always made biscuits. She would love this if she were still here!!! Thank you for the wonderful video!!!

Growing up as a youngern my job was doin the dishes, standin on a apple box, id always ask what can do to help you granny, after id get done shed say boy get over here and learn somethin, and that's how I learnt to cook, now my grandkiddos help me and learn, thanks granny, im sure heavens got a kitchen 😊

I made the biscuit bread this morning and my husband prefers it over biscuits. I used Crisco instead of bacon grease and it was crispy and perfect. I love it because I dont have the mess of rolling out and cutting biscuits! Thanks!

Looks so delicious as always! Do you think Granny would mind you filming her make biscuits? Would love to learn her method also if that’s possible. Love your channel and your daughters channel! Thank y’all for providing us great wholesome content to watch ❤️

I’ve never made biscuits like that before, but I’m going to give it a good try. I love how my cornbread batter sizzles and starts to cook before it goes back in the oven. My grandma used to make fried apples (from apples on their farm) so yummy! We’ve always eaten grits instead of hash browns, but I may give them a try, too. Now I’m hungry!! That sausage looked scrumptious! Thanks, Tipper! ❤🙏🏻 Jane in SC

I'm not a breakfast person, but i would DEVOUR this for dinner❤❤❤ Lovely video❤

I come from Pennsy Dutch, but I love your style of cooking. It makes me think of my mother and I don't think there could be a better thought in the world.

Tipper, boil your potatoes, in the skit, and let them cool. Then anytime you want hash browns or regular fried potatoes, you can use them. I saw a lady in California do that for hash browns and it worked just fine. All she did was take boiled potatoes out of the ice box, cut them up and fry them.

So much love and history in one meal. I adore watching you cook. The love just oozes from everything you do.

That looks so good I am going to try these recipes thank you for sharing

That looks delicious! Thanks for sharing

Oh my goodness.. I love this cooking blog. The recipes are definitely as I remembered from my mom's kitchen. Thank you so much for your awesome recipes. I love cooking and eating 😋 and do enjoy trying other foods as well. You are wonderful 👍🏾. Thank you...

Oh, that's going to be so good. Thanks for the lessons. God bless you, your family, and your listeners.

This looks delicious, thank you for sharing

Congratulations on your cookbook!! I marked it on my planner to lookout for it in May. Thanks so much!

Oh my goodness. It all looks so delicious. Love the idea of baking the hash browns, makes clean up easy to. I'm definitely going to try this as well as the pone bread. All your foods look so appetizing.

Mmm-mmm! Did wish a closer showing of that buttermilk biscuit bread being sliced! I learned to be real hands on the ingredients for cooking and baking like my elder folks did. I could smell the frying sausage, the frying apples, the baking hash browns, the baking biscuits in the skillet, hot coffee, and the eggs frying to order at the end! I like dipping egg yolk on a buttered biscuit, myself! A little honey and butter on biscuits is so sweet with a hot coffee for a boost or a treat! Enjoy seeing a quicker buttermilk biscuit (bread) recipe!

Everything looks delicious!😋

Everything looks so delicious!!

I made the biscuit bread tonight for supper and it was delicious. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful recipes 😊

Wow! Everything looks so scrumptious. Seems like I'm always learning a new thing or two from watching you, like making the one big biscuit (never had them like that) and making hash browns in the oven. Now I can't wait to try both recipes. Also, hope you'll keep us updated on when we can order your cookbook!

I can’t wait to try the hash browns! Thanks for sharing. Your bread looks wonderful!

Thank you for this video! 😊

When I make dressing, I always use a skillet of cornbread and a skillet of biscuits. It is so easy to just pour into the skillet as you did. It’s really hard not to tear off a piece when it’s done. It smells AMAZING!

Looks scrumptious! As always, anything you and Matt make is wonderful.

That all looks delicious!

As always, love your cooking videos. Thank you Tipper!

I cannot wait to try the hash browns like this. I always have issues with them sticking to the pan and not being done in the middle.

Great stuff, Tipper. A couple of observations: I found it interesting that the sausage thawed in a bowl of water over a relatively short period of time. Second, and you have made this point many times, it is absolutely critical that folks get to know their stove and oven. Develop a personal relationship! It will serve you well going forward. I have put the apple peeler in my Amazon basket; not sure if I really need it. The hash brown cooking method, as well as the biscuit bread recipe, are great.

Yummy! Thanks for sharing!

It all looks so delicious, thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes with us.

We called it pone bread. We would mix butter in molasses and eat on it.

tipper use the shelf liner that has the little square poofs on it that works fantastic and stays in my drawer that i keep my foil in

Your breakfast looks so good!

Looks so good thank you tipper have a good week

Oh man, looks delicious! I hope you are feeling better ASAP! 🙏🏻 Did you make apple cider vinegar out of the peels?

Biscuit bread brings back childhood memories. Did you ever add cracklings to your bread? Growing up we made fried apples like you do.

Looks so delicious!! Love watching anything you all make.

Wonderful breakfast. Yum!! Thanks for the recipes. Can’t wait to try them. 🤗

Love the buttermilk bread recipe! Great video😊

I appreciate the clean as you go mentality, by the time the meal is ready, most of the work is done 😊
