My Father loved biscuits. My husband is from Mississippi and loves biscuits. I have learned that our two boys love them to. This was a grief release project for me being that my father died this past June.These biscuits were just plain easy to make. My husband did not know that this was the first time I made biscuits. Could not be any better tasting and fluffy !! Thank you for the smiles on my boys faces. Would of loved to have had my dad taste them !!

I made these this morning with sausage gravy and I think I fainted 4 times while eating. I’ve made drop biscuits before and although those are easy they’re certainly not the same as a kneaded and patted out biscuit. I’ve been scared of making biscuits for years, but I’ve overcome my fear! LOL The recipe was easy to follow and just to make sure I was doing it right the first time I had my hubby in there with a tape measure so I’d know how to eyeball the size next time! hehe If anyone has been scared of making biscuits or had them turn out bad try this recipe! I think for my first time I did pretty darn good.

The only thing I did different was use my pastry scraper to cut them into squares so I wouldn’t have to figure what to do with the excess. I put them about half an inch apart on the cookie sheet so they could spread just a little and then rise after they touched and it worked!

Did you ever post the other biscuit recipe you mentioned in some of your comments? I’d be really interested in that one too.

I made these biscuits and I was so happy once I bit into them. They remind of Popeye’s biscuts if not better. My first attempt at this recipe turned out perfect in taste and texture. These were awesome! My friend took one bite out of them and he looked like he had fell for me all over again:)

Thank you so much for this recipe:) I attempted to make buiscuts before but failed each time. I think I will try shortening the next time to determine the difference in taste.

Thank you so much!! I feel like I have made it now:)

I’m planning to try these this weekend. My grandmother’s and mother’s recipe was similar to this one but the prep was different. Everything was done in a bowl and they use shortening instead of butter. They both hated to roll out dough so they use the pinch and pat method.

I’m so glad I found your site.

PS. I grew up in Vincent, AL but live in North Alabama now after 12 years in Atlanta.

I tried these last Saturday. To die for and well worth the effort.

These biscuits were awesome!! I almost didn’t make them this morning after reading the ‘fold and pat 3 times’ portion of the instructions… sounded too time consuming. But, I really wanted to surprise my man with a plate full of biscuits and gravy (he’s been talking about them for a month)and we had our first snow of the year(absolutely gorgeous outside) so thought “Why not?” FYI… they are not nearly as difficult to make as they sound. I have been looking for a great biscuit recipe for years… this one exceeds my expectations by far. For folks you have never made true buttermilk biscuits before (I managed Hardee’s for years) the wetness is probably the most scary part, but if you’re not afraid to use generous amounts of flour (and don’t be) then they are very easy to work with. Thanks for the great recipe… I used real buttermilk (I keep on hand because I have the greatest pancake recipe that uses it)and Pillsbury’s Best All-Purpose Flour and added the baking powder and salt. I can’t imagine what they must be like with Whitelilly. Keep on cookin’…

I never thought that with your dough being that wet that it would turn out to be so great. Mine have been turning out too floury. I know that i wasn’t going something right. I”m going to try your recipe and see what I come up with.
The very FIRST time I made homemade biscuits they turned out great but every since then my biscuit making has really sucked. =) Usually when I put something down for a while and then go back to it, I do much better.

Thank you sooo much for posting this. I have tried so many different ways to make biscuits and have never been happy with the results. I just got done making your recipe (and eating three myself!) and I am finally confident in sharing my homemade biscuits with friends and family. Even my picky three year old ate a whole one by herself!!

Thanks again. I’m off to check out your other recipes now :).
