The best thing about RU-vid recipes is you can do EXACTLY what they say and then look at your mix and say, wait... her mix is wetter than mine. Added a little more milk and VOILA.
Made these this morning and they were absolutely delicious and so easy! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. This will be a staple for our family now.
Honey!!! Thank you soo much ..I truly can’t say enough ..one of the first things I learned to make was a homemade buttermilk biscuit but!! I had to take a break from making them do to life’s complicated things so I’ve been trying to succeed on my biscuits for 9! Years!! I finally said forget it and I’ve settled for frozen since but!!! I finally gave and look for a recipe similar to what was taught to me and came across this one AND PRAISE THE LORD AND THIS LADY I made beautiful biscuits today using this recipe...I thank you my hubby thanks you and my girls thank you ...but my waistline doesn’t lol 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Yes, Praise the LORD. I'm so excited, I hate the can biscuits my hubby keeps buying to make my life easy as I'm able complicated. But wow this looks likes I can do it.
Hi everyone! Just to clarify for those who are coming to this video that are not from the US. This is an American style southern drop biscuit, which is very similar to a scone. American biscuits typically call for buttermilk while scones often use cream. Scones also often contain egg while American biscuits do not. These are typically eaten as a side dish to a meal or slathered in sausage gravy for a meal on their own. What people in England (and some other parts of the world) call a "biscuit" is what Americans call a "cookie". Hope that helps!
Tried this recipe and suffice it to say, NO MORE CANNED BISCUITS FOR ME! These came out perfect and recipe is super easy to follow! Thank you for sharing your recipe🤗🤗🤗🤗
I'm a big lug of a guy who can't boil water without hurting himself. I made these and they were great! Here in Oregon, I'm adding my herbal ingredient to give it a blast...They are GRRRRRREAT!
Beanetrice McDaniel well just think because of this wonderful coronavirus a lot of us are going to become better bakers we might even learn how to speak another language.
i feel like this is revolutionary. thank you so much. why is this so foolproof/easy. i couldn’t believe it. we don’t really have these types of biscuits in the uk we call those scones but they’re not sweet so i put 1/4 cup sugar in mine to make them scones. this is amazing thanks again 💓
it's 3am and I just stumbled upon this video and I'm feeling very tempted to get up and make them right now... I mean I know I can't but they just look so good!!
I tried this recipe for dinner this evening. Oooooo Mmmmmmm Gggggggggg. These biscuits are screamin’ good. I didn’t have any buttermilk or vinegar so used whole milk. Some of the lightest, most tender biscuits I have had since my great grandmother made me biscuits in 1964; I am 69 yo. This is a keeper recipe in my recipe box of hand written recipes. Yum, yum, yum. Buying buttermilk on my next grocery run. Thank you so much for sharing.
@@irisheyesofbelfast ½ teaspoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to ½ cup milk. Fake butter milk you find in the supermarket. Real buttermilk make your own butter at home the remaining liquid is the truth.
@@justcallmebetty7717 I guess that depends on who bakes them ( mine could be utilised for house building!), but the ingredients are basically identical. x
This was my first time ever making biscuits😭and they taste like home💕thank you so much! I used 1% milk and I had to add like 1/2 cup more, but it was lovely!
I had no whole milk at one time except the one percent and I felt my biscuits tasted better and came out higher and fluffier then just whole milk, but I don't add flour after mixing the dough. I don't roll it out with. I flour my hands and form it into balls then press down and put in oven or the skillet. I feel all that flour people use on the dough keeps them from rising. The more moisture in the dough, the higher and fluffier they will be. The best.
I really love how clear and detailed your recipes are and especially the substitutions part as sometimes I don't have everything at hand and I am dying to try your recipes!!
Ziggy If you want really good biscuits, first sift your flour! It puts air in your flour making best tasting biscuits. Second use Crisco shortening and milk. Mix thoroughly with your hands to get more air in them. It makes them light & fluffy. They are much better when you need them with your fingers. That’s where the love comes into the recipe!
I tried these biscuits using 1% milk and they still turned out great! This recipe saved me a trip to the store when we were craving biscuits and gravy :) very good
The absolute best biscuits I have ever made/eaten... and I am in my 60's!!! Thank you for this amazing recipe... and SO darn easy... Best combo in cooking... easy AND superb!
I made these and they turned out amaaaaaaazing😍😍😍 crunchy from the outside and soft from the inside 😋 I also added some honey to the butter for topping, thank you so much 🥰
You are such a WONDERFUL and EXPERIENCED CHEF! I've NEVER made biscuits before because of all the work involved. This is no longer the case. You are a blessing! Thank you for sharing.
Ok so I recently made these biscuits. Well....they were AMAZING. Oh my goodness. They were so darn delicious! My family and I were beside ourselves with pleasure. So buttery! I didn't have self-rising flour so I used all purpose and added the salt and baking powder. I added a little more than 1 cup of milk . The mixture was wet but not too wet. Use an ice cream scoop measure and cooked them in a cast iron skillet like she does in the video. Brushed them with melted butter once they were baked to a light golden brown. Oh my!!!!! Thanks BB.
A very good recipe and made in a dutch oven surrounded by hot coals in a campfire in the snow - Northern New Mexico . I didn't have self rising flour . 1 1/2 cups regular flour + 1 1/2 tsp baking powder + 1/4 tsp salt = self raising flower . Thanks for your video Bettie and hope your holiday season is great .
These look like Church's Chicken biscuits, which I love. 🥰 *Update* I made these biscuits and they are absolutely incredible yet so simple to make. I simply buttered some and they are so delicious. I also made a honey butter to use on others. OH MYYY!!! These are better than Church's and this is coming from a girl who pulls into the drive thru only to order two biscuits and nothing else. 🤭 Thanks, RU-vid, for giving me a great recommendation that I didn't search. This one is a winner. 👍🏾I'm not a baker but I subscribed to support and will check out other videos.
This is a great recipe. And versatile. One can add fried onions/ chopped olives/ cheese etc to the biscuits. If scones are called for, then adding a little more flour will do the trick.
I did this with almond milk and a TBSP of lemon juice in it since I didn't have buttermilk. They were very good! Thanks for sharing the recipe with us! 💛💙💚🧡💜
You can bake just about anything if you have self rising flour. I mix cup flour, one egg, 1/2 cup sugar, small can peaches, 1/2 cup milk, bake at 350 for 25 min and I have something sweet to go with my coffee. Oh you can add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla you can do this with banana or apples. Good.
i have made these before and that is a fact jack they are that easy to make and pretty tasty , and the great part is very little clean up all in 1 bowl
I had a girlfriend in Florida many years ago who made the best biscuits--high, light, fluffy, delicious. I asked her for the recipe, but instead she came to my house to show me how to do it, bringing along just three ingredients: self-rising flour, buttermilk and lard (not Crisco). But she was a "dump cook" who did it by feeling the ingredients, so I never did catch on and I never did learn to make good biscuits--and I love me a good biscuit, with or without gravy! So now it's just me and my widowed father, and he has never liked biscuits. If he did I'd experiment with every recipe until I found one that he liked. I can't make a batch for myself because I'd eat them all in one sitting and have no one to share them with. But I love looking at the recipes on RU-vid and dreaming of making biscuits!
This is my 24th day of #stayathome a.k.a quarantine day. My kitchen is my work place now. This biscuit is super easy to make and so tempting that I want to try and bake it tonite. And is already 9.15pm 🤭
I cooked and loved them...I will never make them like my Mom did on a wood stove with just Lard and Water...they were soft and fluffy on the inside and nice and brown on the outside ...but these were close
They sound wonderful Celia! You can definitely use lard in these. Or if you want a more traditional lard biscuit I have a recipe for them here: bakerbettie.com/old-fashioned-lard-biscuits/
Few things are as satisfying as homemade biscuits from the oven. They are simple enough to make--and these drop style biscuits all the more so. You will never settle for a canned biscuit again...no matter how cute the dough boy! Making some alterations (with egg) allow you to make dumplings for beef or chicken stew or with sugar for cobbler biscuits for summer's fruit bounty.
I just made these delicious😋😋 perfect biscuits by myself so if they didn't come out right...nobody would know but me😦😧😟.....but oh YES😳 .....they turned out surprisingly delicious😋😋....even I couldnt mess up your EASY reciept...but these delicious biscuits came out good💯 the first time...they are so light and fuffy... I have never made any biscuits before..I will be making these biscuits for my family soon.....you have made me happy🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊THANKS FOR SHARING💓
Omgoodness I made these the other day and it was great!!! Didn’t think that this would turn out exactly like yours but it did. (Really looked like the honey butter biscuit they sell at Texas Chicken) I melted maple syrup and butter and poured it on top and it was glorious!!! Thank you for this recipe, love it!!!!! (Btw, didn’t use a skillet, I just placed it on my baking tray)
Sooooo easy, I love them! They turn out great each time I have made them. I am baking some today to go with a pot of split pea and I plan to add some honey, too! Yum!
Wow..... I am not good at baking..I tried this and it was so yumm... crunchy outside soft inside.. I think I can bake as well.. Thank you for boosting my morale with this perfect recipe.. bless u..
Was urgently needing to find a recipe to use the self rising flour. Came across thisvideo. Very thankful for you taking the time to post. I did modify the ingredients slightly. Added 1 egg, 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese, and a half cup more of milk... let's just say they came out to be a very great copycat of a very known seafood restaurant lol... Thanks a bunch.
I use the same basic recipe, sometimes lard instead of butter, and use a table spoon ( heaping tablespoon ) Probably comes out to about the same ( quarter cup ) and just drop them on a greased pan or in a cast iron skillet. The biscuits are a little smaller, the kids like them that way, but they still make good biscuits and not as small as some would think. We always called them drop biscuits.
Thank you! I tried these gluten free with her oven bake 18 mins method, and they worked just as well as stove top. Finally, a quick, light bread substitute which works gluten free! 💐
Judy Harms-Wiebe I just made a straight swop with my usual gluten free Self-Raising flour and it worked perfectly . I used half the measures Bettie gave and maybe added a tad more milk. This gave six small buns/ biscuits. Same baking time. So Just over 1 cup GF flour into which incorporate 2 oz cold, cubed butter. When the look of coarse meal is achieved, add half a cup of buttermilk or soured milk. (Add a little more if your GF flour makes it necessary.) Mix in the milk quickly and stop as soon as the dough consistency is achieved, sufficient to hold together as a bun. Divide into six buns and bake 18 minutes at 210. Celcius (my oven). Allow to cool before eating. Basically the same recipe, just gluten free ingredients. I keep mine in the freezer and microwave them 30 seconds, turn over and another 30seconds from frozen. The soured milk, I make with one tablespoon of white vinegar. Add a little milk and stand for a few minutes. Add rest of milk. Hope this helps.
Haha. I see your video was posted 6 years ago and today I needed to find a quick easy biscuit recipe and I found you! Thank you for posting I am only sorry now it took me this long to find you. I will be checking out your other recipes, I am really impressed with your biscuit recipe. Thank you again and Happy Thanksgiving!!
I made these again this morning, I added Old Bay seasoning, cheddar cheese annd parmesan cheese. I then used hot Italian sausage in my gravy and it was DELICIOUS! Thank you for making this recipe so simple...it seems like something that would take much longer to make.
These are the best biscuits 😂. This is my 3rd time making these my family and I love them I'm cooking some now. One said 'they taste similar to popeyes' biscuits 😲. Not sure if that's a good compliment 🙂
I made these today with buttermilk and they were good. I kept tasting something tangy though. I think I should have shaken the buttermilk really good prior to pouring. Next time I will add some honey butter for a bit of sweetness. This will be my new recipe.
Thank you for the wonderful recipe beavers crazy about these biscuits when we first meet them my granddaughter said add cheese mediate and we lost our mind we've been making them that way ever since they were great great tasting thank you
