I love how you show the mistakes. Baking is a science, trial and error. I've had so many things go awry over the years. It's refreshing to see a mistake be made, and then you are able to tell us WHY it happened. Or even if you don't know why, to show the mistakes anyway. It helps make others feel like they're not alone. Always a great video, keep up the amazing work!

I know maybe it's unpopular and isn't efficient, but I appreciate the real-time, showing the full 4 folds or showing how the butter cuts into the flour. There are so many changes in texture and so much visual information in the "monotony" of baking, but it's so important to convey that visual information, especially for developing bakers! It's rough when so much of that get cut out in the editing process, but the best YT cooking/baking tutorials leave it in so you can really see the development of whatever is being prepared. Much appreciated!

They go in at 425F for anyone making 😊 I don’t think he mentioned exact temperature

Just a note to thank you John for the only edible homemade biscuits I’ve ever made. I’m 62 and have never had any kind of baking skills until finding you. Special thanks to your husband for excellent filming. These will require just a little more practice but my wife and I love them. Next on the list is your blueberry muffins. By the way, I do the cooking in our home while she does the cleanup. She has bought me several kitchen items because of your wonderful recipes and videos. Thank you both! Barney & Shannon

I've started using a coarse cheese grater to break down the butter into small pieces when I'm making bicuits. Much easier and quicker and the results are more consistent.

Hands down the BEST recipe and method for biscuits. Made these for my family and they were so good and stood tall. Wish I could attach a photo. Thank you!!!

[kassieb]

Love that you showed what happens if you make them over an inch, very helpful!!

Unfortunately, when my Mom & Mom in law passed, so did their beautiful big flaky biscuits! This recipe is close to what they both made. I make my own butter at home and I really believe that it makes a huge difference in flavor. This recipe is awesome! Theyre made every Sunday morning for all of my children & grandchildren to enjoy. They also freeze nicely! My daughter in law had me freezing a batch for ber to take home. She now has the recipe but she claims they dont taste as good as mine. I think thats an excuse to come over for Sunday brunch. I love them as much as the rest.of the family does. My family couldn't get enough of them so I had to make an extra batch!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to make this video & share your talents with us! God bless 💞

I love that you didnt only show us how you perfected them ... You're amazing John & Im a big fan of all your work !!

The last time I made homemade biscuits, I made them with Kerry Gold Herb & Garlic butter in place of regular butter, and they were the most amazing biscuits I've ever tasted much less made!!

Also, I used any leftover biscuit dough to make quiche. If I only have a little bit of dough, I make a little, single-serving quiche. Makes a fantastic quiche crust!! 🤩

I do squares because I don’t have a little cutter. Also, I use a cheese grater on my cold butter. Makes it a little easier to work in. Plus, it’s fun to make the butter into fun ribbons!

I like how John has both baking and cooking videos!! He’s such a good cook and makes us feel like we can actually replicate his yummy recipes!

[jinglebats]

This is how I was taught to make scones (I'm English). My mother and grandmother never used eggs as it would have been thought of as too wasteful and extravagant during rationing in WWII x

[kellishiawalker]

Any time I want to try out a new recipe, John is my go-to youtuber I absolutely LOVE the way he explains it and the recipes always turn out well (so far lol). I think this is the first time I’ve seen a recipe not come out perfect on youtube and I LOVE IT! You’ve got yourself a fan for LIFE!!!! Thank you for the honesty❤

[maverickmal]

I'm absolutely making these to go with dinner tonight! We would love to see your updated English scone recipe, in fact if you made a whole series of videos around English afternoon tea I'd be making every single recipe!

[shordyshines]

I watch a lot of recipe videos on YouTube and I think you make a lot of valid mini points while you ramble I love it . “You don’t want them to be too thin” if you never would’ve said that then I most definitely would’ve made them too thin

[thomasbedient]

I do square biscuits. They're just as fluffy and amazing as round, but you waste zero, and you don't need to work the trimmings into extra and break the rule of "Work the dough as little as possible".

I made these biscuits and the only thing I did differently After I baked them at 425 degrees for 15 minutes I set my stove in broiled for 5 minutes after I put butter on top and they came out perfect! A nice golden brown crust and they were delicious

[jennysjourney]

I tried your dinner rolls a couple weeks ago. I over proofed them and they looked more like biscuits but tasted amazing. Everyone loved them and I have a picky family. So much better than store bought. I'll definitely want tried this next.
I'm glad you let us see what happens if it's too thick. We learn from our mistakes, especially in baking.

As soon as I finished watching, I IMMEDIATELY made a batch and they were FANTASTIC! 😋
