I've been cooking biscuits for about 60 years now this recipe is a fine recipe you just need to cook it in a cast iron skillet bless everyone watching

I just made these biscuits. I didn't have the self rising flour. So I added three teaspoons of baking powder plus 1/4 tsp and 1 tsp salt. Also added 1 tsp of baking soda for the buttermilk. I never knew you had to fold the dough and roll it out 5 different times. They are the highest flakiest biscuits I've ever made. So delicious.

Rhetorical question but why would anyone dislike this video, it’s a benign cooking demonstration and these folks are just trying to educate us. I despair of humanity. But not these delicious biscuits, they are wonderful. So thank you to all involved, have a great day!

Did anyone else have a moment when she just left all that butter on the parchment paper 1:04?

This biscuit recipe replaced a recipe I've been using for the past 12-13 years. It's the bomb!

Being born and raised in the deep South, I've eaten TONS of biscuits. I made these this morning in my #9 Favorite Piqua, and these are hands down the BEST biscuits ever!

I have been making this recipe for a couple of years now. My hubby gets super excited when they come out of the oven & grabs a biscuit right after I top with butter. Then I get tons of praise...which makes it all worth it to me. ❤️

This lady got me started making biscuits and everyone just loves them. I'm very grateful to her for posting. Freezing the butter is a must. Actually, we had them this morning with southern gravy, thick bacon and blackberry preserves. I'm a southern boy, what can I

[dek]

So glad I found a recipe without shortening. Can’t wait to make this today!

FYI: She gave the recipe as she demonstrated. How hard is it to listen and write it down?

1 stick frozen butter, grated
2 1/2 cups White Lily self-rising flour
1 cup cold buttermilk

Grate the frozen butter, gently mix into flour. Make a well into mixture, pour in buttermilk. Incorporate well, using approx. 15 stirs. Place mixture on floured surface, sprinkle flour on top. Flour rolling pin. Roll out, fold over mixture and repeat four more times. On the last fold over, roll out to 1/2 inch thickness. Flour biscuit cutter each time you cut into dough. Place biscuits on parchment lined pan, make sure they touch. Bake @ 475 degrees for 15 minutes.

[concon]

I saw this several months back & I have made them this way every since!! Everyone loves them!! Thanks so much for making my grannies biscuits better!

[dianeivey]

I could never cook homemade biscuits until I found this video. I think it is fantastic. The one thing I don't understand is why so many people complain and seem to put it down and know better. Why are you even watching it? Thank you so much Southern living

[MrJayaustin]

Oh man, I’m gonna quite my job and just make and eat biscuits from now on haha. Great video! Thanks

[emilybrunson]

First time making biscuits, and they came out delicious and crispy! Thanks for this recipe!

[iamlono]

I am British and I would liken these to scones, apart from one very big difference. I just made these, I followed the recipe to the letter and I can say that these are WAY better than scones! These are flaky and buttery and tender and absolutely delicious!

[rubymlawrence]

I made these for breakfast today. Hands down the easiest, quickest and yummiest biscuits I've ever baked. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe, Southern Living!

[jalisajai]

Yes!!! Thank you... I made my first batch of biscuits by myself YAY!!!! They were

[EliasLavado-cm]

Love this recipe and thanks for introducing me to White-Lily's Self-Rising Flour and the grating butter technique; I will be using this recipe from now on whether it's for breakfast or special occasions.
