Hi everyone! Just to clarify for those who are coming to this video that are not from America. This is an American style biscuit, which is very similar but slightly different from a scone. American biscuits typically call for buttermilk while scones typically use cream. Scones also often contain egg while American biscuits do not and biscuits also have a higher fat ratio which creates a more flaky texture. 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!

I have struggled to make biscuit for 50 years, I'm 59, I followed this recipe and they came out amazing! I mean I was so bad at making biscuits that my mom used to make some and freeze them for my husband's birthday so he could enjoy home made biscuits! My mom's been gone for 14 years now so he hasn't had a good biscuit until now. Thank you

Have been baking professionally for years, and LOVE the step by step instruction that includes not only the "How"... but the "Why". You leave nothing to the imagination, and speak slowly and clearly enough to not overwhelm the beginning baker. I liked this a lot... nicely done.

My grandmother from the south used to make these when I was little and no matter how hard I tried I could never figure out how she got them layered. Until now. When I saw you layering I remembered her doing that. Thanks so much. Can't wait to try this.

HOLY MOLY!!!! I SUCKED AT MAKING BISCUITS & NOW I'M GETTING REQUESTS TO MAKE THEM. THANKS BETTIE BAKER. I LOVE YOU, YOU MADE US VERY HAPPY.

Love the way you explain and clarify things, which seems humble, friendly and gracious, oh ... and informative too, definitely. Seeing how you cut and lifted the raw biscuits (and left nothing to waste) tells me you're a profound baker/cook or someone I can follow and trust. This is my first time watching your video and I really enjoyed it. Thanks for all the tips. ... Oh your biscuits look really good, too!

I just want to thank you, these biscuits turned out perfect.
I live in Florida, it is always to warm even though we are in November. To keep my ingredients cold, I freeze my butter, and grate my butter with a grater I also placed in the freezer while mixing my dry ingredients. While at it, I placed my measuring cup and buttermilk in freezer until I was ready to use.
I also sifted my dry ingredients together.
I was very happy with how beautiful they turned out!!
Thank you😊❤

These came out great. It was my first time ever making biscuits and I loved them.

Wow, it’s amazing how the simplest details make such a difference. I used lard instead of butter then hot out of the oven put some southern style sausage gravy on top of the biscuits!! Delicious

I just made these, and this is the 1st time I’ve ever successfully made homemade biscuits, I’m so proud of myself, and it was much easier than I thought, thanks so much. I’m a new subscriber now!

OMGosh!!!! These biscuits were extremely easy and delicious!! I made them with butter. Will make a million times again.

[jeffwilliams]

Oh my God. So....I have never made biscuits. Always been intimidated by baking in general. Biscuits especially as I've always heard it takes a while to get them right. So, this is the video I chose to go by, and holy crap on my first attempt, I made perfect buttermilk biscuits! PERFECT. Cookbook photo perfect. They tasted great. I followed the recipe to you exact direction. Thank you so much!

[sherripowell]

I don’t make biscuits often because they are dense and heavy and my family likes a lighter, fluffier biscuit. These were so good!! Very easy to do after watching the video and they turned out perfect. Definitely my go to recipe from now on. Thank you for sharing this video and recipe. 👍

I made these biscuits with our supper tonight (Dec 7, 2020). My husband LOVED them. They are the best biscuits. Also, not difficult to make at all. Thank you for the newest staple in my house!!

[shelleylee]

This is my go-to biscuit method (except I cheat and use self-rising flour). It's all in the folding to get the wonderful layers! Thanks for another great video, Bettie! I love them all! You are such a great teacher!

[SuperSarah]

The best biscuit recipe, I have found. I've made them and they turned out delicious, golden, flaky, and soft. Thank you so much!

[mollybatson]

Just made your biscuits. The best recipe! I didn’t have buttermilk and followed your directions on to make buttermilk. Thank you for a great video 😍 Amazing!!

[bridgettewood]

Thank you, very much...
