Two weeks before my Mama died, she was still making scratch biscuits at 94. She made them every day since, she was 12. Grandma taught her how to fix them.

I’m 80 yrs old and as a young girl I remember waking in the morning to my grandma singing you are my sunshine and making biscuits. They were so good. With karo syrup and of couse butter swirled in it.

You can also grate the cold butter so you won't have to use the pastry cutter...

I discovered a trick with the butter instead of cutting it in. Put your buttermilk in the freezer to get really cold. Melt your butter. Then with a fork stir the almost frozen buttermilk while you pour the butter in and voila. Small butter nuggets that mix in great.

This Quarantine Cooking series is so nice. You’re the Comforter-in-Chief, Paula. I love how casual and relaxed they are, and your easy pace. You just make me feel like everything’s going to be okay. It’s like sitting in my mother’s kitchen, when I was a kid. Thank you, Paula. I might never make one of these recipes, but I love watching these videos.

I really appreciate how these homemade videos show cooking in real time. The fancy edited TV shows don't and I love to see how long it really takes to blend the flour and butter. Thanks!!

When my kids were little, I used to make biscuits and sausage gravy for them all the time. Haven't made that in years. Gonna be making it again real soon. ❤️

I love making biscuits. My grandma taught me. She’s been gone now for 17 years and I still miss her all the time. But, I feel close to her when I’m making biscuits. I can still see her in the kitchen standing beside me directing me. She didn’t even have a recipe usually, she would just say, “about that much or that looks about right.” 😄 I am making biscuits tomorrow morning with sausage gravy. I rarely make gravy and biscuits anymore but I was raised eating down home southern cooking by a lovely southern grandmother. Thanks for making these videos Paula. My daughter and I have so enjoyed watching you!

They called them pastry clothes.
I keep mine in a ziplock bag in the freezer...never wash it. Shake off excess flour before freezing.
Makes for a softer dough. Biscuits, cookies, pie dough. Any dough

This recipe reminded me of how I learned to make biscuits. Not having any southern roots, my idea of homemade biscuits meant I opened a tube of refrigerator biscuits and baked them myself. Well about a year ago, I watched a video on how to make REAL homemade biscuits. The YouTube channel was called Collard Valley Cooks and the woman making the biscuits was Tammy Nichols, also from Georgia. (You may have heard of Tammy. She was on Family Food Fight just last year and Tammy, her husband Chris and Tammy's brother Eddie came in 2nd place!). Anyway, like you, Tammy is a true southern cook and her recipes are delicious! In one of her recent videos she mentioned wanting to meet you, now that she and her husband live in St. Mary's. Georgia. She reminds me so much of you, Paula, and I've learned so much from both of you. I sure hope you have the opportunity to meet one another!

My Mama used to make us scratch made biscuits 3 times a day everyday. My fondest memories are of breakfast before we went to school we always had biscuits with our grits and eggs and whatever meat she cooked up and a cup of coffee prepared the way each one of us liked it! Ain't nothing like a Southern Mama! ♥️♥️ Thank you Mrs. Paula!

Going to be teaching my 14 yr old grandson how to make biscuits soon, already taught him to make sausage gravy. He couldn’t believe how easy it was!!

[donnajoyner]

I love fig preserves, too. Maybe some time you could show how to make them? I have 3 small fig trees, but my aunts and grandmother are all gone and evidently none of my cousins that lived near them learned how to make the preserves! One of the highlights of our trip to Mobile each summer was all the jars gifted to us to take home! My aunts knew how much I loved them so they made extras for us. Living in Arizona so far away from family, each dollop on toast was like a hug from family. Each time.

I would love a tour of Paula’s kitchen...a complete tour!

God love ya, Paula Deen!! You have been the Southern Queen Cook for me ever since my momma died in 1992! And, as a Southern woman, I know we know good food, and I am thankful for you helping me do it right for the past 30 years! Thank you, and may God Bless you for always!

I grate my frozen butter. It’s easier than using a pastry cutter. I also put parchment paper on my pan not spray.

I need a “butter y’all” butter dish! Love you Paula! Thanks for all these great videos!

I’m a 27 year old with 3 year old twin boys and I love to cook from scratch. I’m considered the family bread maker and biscuits are one of my favorite things to make! My boys request them a lot and as soon as the come out of the oven they seem to disappear! It took me a few batches to perfect but man there is nothin like a made from scratch buttermilk biscuit! I have all my recipes written down by hand on cards that I hope will get passed down one day. Love you Paula!
