Angel Biscuits

Angel Biscuits are a cross between a yeast roll and a biscuit. They are great for freezing as well as for making Breakfast pockets.
Edit: This was only the second cooking video I'd ever done so I really didn't know what I was doing (I'm not a whole lot better now - but improving, I think ;-) ). So, I didn't even think about showing the finished product. The next time I bake these I will do another video showing the finished product and link to it here. Thank you for all the encouraging comments!

Many have asked about time and temp for baking. Sorry, I didn't think to add that. If I am baking these "fresh" I preheat the oven to 375 and bake about 30 minutes or so until they are as brown as I want them to be. If I am baking from frozen, I put them in the cold oven and turn to 350 and they thaw as the oven preheats, and again, it takes about 30 minutes to bake. Of course ovens vary and it may take a little less or a little longer to brown them as you like. What I usually do is set the timer for 25 minutes and then check and see if they need longer.

The recipe is written out in a blog post for making the Angel Pocket breakfast meals.

Finally found someone that gets every lit bit out of the bowl. Waste not want not. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

In this age of "prepackaged, and prepared foods of all types" I admire and praise all of these lovely kitchen ladies who share all of their kitchen talents to those of us who took for granted our mothers wonderful talents who made it look so easy and we fell victim to time being cut short, thinking Mom would always be there, then realization hit us smack in the face : "there was no more time". We couldn't ask so many different things. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. To all you lovely Ladies who save "Cultural Kitchen Heritage", by sharing such valuable knowledge. You are so valuable...!!!

I really liked watching you make up the Angel Biscuits. I loved the fact that you wasted nothing in the bowl. My grandmother always taught me not to waste even a spoonful of anything, as only a few bites can mean a full stomach for someone in need. I did the mowing and other outside jobs while growing up and had to learn how to cook from my mother-in-law. I sure did come to dearly love my mother-in-law.

I really appreciate your wearing the hat it controls your hair while you’re cooking. So many of these ladies have long hair and just have it hanging down on the side and front and just fluffing it all around while they’re making these videos it just goes right through me. I have very long hair and always have had. But my mother made sure I knew that hair was to be pinned up or in a rubber band before I went into that kitchen to cook. So thank you for the hat it’s great

Your husband JOE is certainly one fortunate man. I enjoyed watching your video especially because u gave such clear instructions and have such a pleasant voice. I look forward to viewing more food preparation videos, im going to fix the chicken and dumplings in a few days, but these angel biscuits are the best biscuits i have ever had, thank you so much for sharing them! God bless you Betty! ❤

I like how you explain why you do it as you go. Helps me understand.

As I'm watching your video my eyes are tearing and the memories watching my mom make them in the past as a young boy, I'm 65 now, and it's been many years since I've eaten another. Oh! I've tried but she never measured anything so you understand that it's hard to follow a recipe without, but they were often dry and I would eat them anyway with morning coffee, but! Just finding this website or app they call it I can now watch a person actually step by step performing and measuring all. I enjoyed your video and listening to you instruct just brought back memories of my grandmother and my mom both making them. We were raised in the South near the Florida and Al. State line so biscuits were a staple food source at meal time depending on what mama would be having for dinner or supper but for sure we always had them for breakfast. They were the best and mama would often ask me who made biscuits better grandma or her. The answer to who was asking was always you. But the truth I couldn't tell who's was the best, they both were the best. Sorry, my story was so long, but I thank you for this video and would love it if you were my neighbor. Hope you have a great day. Oh I saved your video so I can now make and enjoy a home made biscuit again. : )

I am GLAD I found your I make these for my husbands breakfast and dinner as well and he LOVES them.

Good ole White Lily — every good southern cook knows about it. “Like little peas” is how my granny taught me. She had always warned about over mixing and the heat from your hands too making them tough and flat or pastry not being flakey if doing pie crusts. And I didn’t have a pastry cutter when I moved out from home into my first apt. and was panicking one evening trying to show off for friends with dinner so she told me to use 2 cold knives and keep cutting until I had little peas. She said I could put 4 knives (table) in the freezer and then use two and if needed making a bigger or second batch - you keep switching the knives out. I love seeing a real cook that makes down home people food. Reminds me of home and my grandparents. Both could cook and Papa was very good too - was cook in service and those guys don’t take getting bad food too well so the cooks have to learn fast.

PS would have like to see these after being cooked. I have made plenty of biscuits and rolls and loaves over the years - mid 60’s - but I have never made a combination. Do they puff up like rolls or have the texture of biscuits... just can’t quite image but certainly sound great especially with sausage or chipped beef and just butter and home-made jam. Or boy I bet they’d be good with home-made apple butter. Haven’t made any for years. I like the Collard Valley Cooks name - making up a pot collards and ham hocks this week and some of my granny’s fried corn cakes. Just white fine stone ground corn meal, boiling hot water, and salt to taste. Mix to consistency to spoon “cakes” in hot cast iron frying pan. Fry up in bacon drippings or whatever you want til crispy and golden brown. The inside will be a little soft but done and then you slather them with butter and eat on the side of a bowl of collards. After cooking - we take the ham hock or Hocks out and shred all the good meat off (just like ham) so it’s veggie, meat and carb on the side.

Stewardship! I love that! I was brought up to not waste anything. I've raised my children the same way. Thank you for the wonderful recipe. I always feel so happy after getting to watch your videos. You have such a beautiful way of teaching and wording things. God Bless!

[cindym]

Wow! You folded the dough. I have never been successful at biscuits. I think I over kneaded them. Looking forward to trying your method. Thank you!!

[felicadawn]

While my mother usually made standard buttermilk biscuits, my aunt (Daddy's sister) made these and called them yeast biscuits. I think she enjoyed the convenience of having that dough on the ready as the very busy pastor's wife she and my mother both were. Anyway, my mother would make this dough sometimes, but she would use it mostly for rolled out cinnamon rolls. It was convenient, easy, and SO delicious. Anyway, I enjoyed your video. I also found some of your teaching and really enjoyed your teaching style as well. Blessings to you Mrs. Betty!

Thank you so much for the recipe! ❤ Kisses from Spain 🇪🇦🇪🇺😘😘

[charlottecampbell]

Great video! Thanks for the recipe and the helpful hints.

[beverlymiller]

I've been looking for this recipe, thank you for sharing.

[angelawitherington]

Thank you for posting this video! My husband's grandmother (from Kenton, TN) made the most delicious angel biscuits that everyone raved about, but as far as I know no one has the recipe for. I can't wait to make these for my husband.

[deborahschwarzenbach]

I so enjoyed this video! In fact, I enjoyed it so much I searched your videos for other cooking tutorials. I was delighted (and totally blessed/educated!) by your bible study videos. I especially learned a lot from the Acts 15 lesson. You are an excellent teacher and I look forward to listening to more as time allows.
