I have been attempting to make biscuits for well over a month, usually on Saturday and Sunday mornings. None of them came out great, so this was my last effort and it was PICTURE-PERFECT and more importantly, delicious! I think the main differences were I didn't cut them and the oven temp/time. Most of the others I tried were 350-ish for 15 minutes, so they didn't even look done. They got rave reviews from the family too. I will be spending alot more time on your site. Again - thanks so much! :) Thank you Andrea! I have been attempting to make biscuits for well over a month, usually on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

I can't get buttermilk here, so I guess I'll replace it with yogurt. I'll try to make this to eat with curry. Will let you know about the outcome. A very interesting biscuit.

Unfortunately, I never learned to make biscuits this way. Many of the women used wooden 'biscuit bowls' to mix the ingredients. I have searched for this recipe for many, many years. I can't thank you enough for posting/sharing it. By the instruction and few ingredients I know it is the same recipe. I cannot wait to make these for my family. Thank you, thank you, thank you :) Anddrea,

Growing up i watch in amazement each and every time she made them. She had a huge bowl she kept her flour in and mixed everything in that bowl and somehow managed to keep all the flour dry except what she used. She passed two years ago and i have tried and tried to get it right and never have until now. Now my family can enjoy chocolate and biscuits on sundays just as i did as a child. Once again thank you for helping keep a family tradition alive. -Harold Fisher Thank you so very much for this recipe, when i was growing up my grandmother would make 4 pans every sunday for the entire family.

He said if you didn't then you end up with 'dome' shaped biscuits -- something about them heating from the sides first then the middle. It's funny to hear people talk about making things a certain way and when challenged, will say, "...well that's the way grandmother made them!".

Overworking the dough will make biscuits flat. Also, make sure your flour is fresh because the leavening agents tend to lose strength over time. Storing flour in the freezer is a good way to preserve it's freshness, especially if you only use it occasionally. Just keep it in a strong freezer bag.

I have been trying and trying and trying to make the perfect southern buttermilk biscuit. Living in the North now I can't get the Lily White so I order it online but try as I may I can't get my grandmothers light fluffy results. I'm a little ashamed as no self respecting southern woman should make such horrible bisuits as I do. Wanted to know if you can help me. I follow the recipe and technique to a T but still get flat and crumbly texture. Any advice? Thanks so much for this sight.
