How To Make The World's Best Buttermilk Biscuits | Southern Living

Southerners have mastered the art of the flaky, buttery biscuit. Our test kitchen baked hundreds of biscuit recipes to find our all-time best batch of buttermilk biscuits – and they're amazing. In fact, we think they're the best biscuits ever. Whether you're on the side of fluffy vs. flaky or butter vs. lard, this homemade biscuit recipe will please every Southerner you know. Top these warm, soft biscuits with a pat of butter, a drizzle of honey, some freshly made sausage, or a hearty helping of Chocolate Gravy – we don't discriminate. This biscuit recipe is perfect for serving at breakfast with a plate of eggs or as a side for lunch and dinner. (Trust us, you'll want to eat these biscuits at all three meals!) Be sure to make at least one batch, because these biscuits go fast.

I LOVE that it has no sound. Just the info, no repugnant cheap licensed/catalog music.

I made these with unsalted butter and once done...put a bit of honey butter on top. good. They didn't last and it was my first time making them from scratch! Thank you!! 😂😄

Thank you so much for this video and recipe; I've made this recipe a couple of times, and it is our family's favorite biscuit recipe! The longer version also was very important because it told me about White Lily's Self-Rising Flour which made the biscuits rise higher and flakier along with the grating butter technique. I will continue to use this recipe for whenever we are in the mood for southern buttermilk biscuits for breakfast or dinner, thanks again and Happy Early Easter!🐰😃

Several years ago my mom decided to use a knife and cut the dough into squares. No extra to mess with.

I saw this video frm an appalachian woman. She uses buttermilk. No butter. Works. ! I tried it. So delicious

[dolphinbear]

Even without the audio, just made these and they're perfect❤️easier than I thought it would be. Delicious

[TygaShawty]

I use unbleached all purpose flour in mine. Just as fluffy and delicious.

The best recipe! I just tired it for the first time I am making this kind of biscuits and it turned very good! :)

When baking, put your biscuits side by side. Also, weigh flour. Self-rising is 115 grams per cup.

Made these biscuits and they was great. So soft, it reminded me of my late mother’s biscuits. Thanks

I made some of these using lard instead of butter and baked at 500. However, I did butter the top of biscuits before and after baking. They were heavenly. I will try this recipe, next.

Do you roll out dough after every time you fold it?

[AstralPrincess]

I only have access to All Purpose flour. How much baking powder should I use to help them rise? Thanks so much.
