To make your own buttermilk, just add one tablespoon of lemon juice to one cup of milk (I use whole but you don't have to) and let sit five minutes and you're good to go! Thank you! Gratefully, Christy :) Hey Sara! thank you so much!

Like you, I don't keep buttermilk on hand and want to make my own, but I can't find what the proportions are for making it with milk and lemon juice. Could you please post the correct proportions? Thanks for all your great recipes. Sara I enjoy your website so much.

My mom's were so hard that they could bounce off the wall. My Aunt Evy always used lard and fresh buttermilk along with the self rising flour. She taught me to minimally handle the dough and how to pinch them off and make the biscuits that way. I was probably 9 years old, 50 years ago when she taught me. I have just discovered your site and plan to visit it often. Thank you for your contributions to our Southern Heritage. My great Aunt Evy taught me how to make biscuits.

You'll never go back to bleached flour again. Try White Lily unbleached self rising flour in this recipe. You’ll never go back to bleached flour again.

I decided to try making these biscuits. I used to be able to make great biscuits, but lost my touch. Anyway, after I mixed the milk in, it was really wet ... "Gloppy" and too wet to knead. Is that common? I added more flour, knowing it would make them tough, but I had to have biscuits. I may have rolled them a little too thin too, but few rose up and they didn't brown like yours. What do I need to try differently? (I used Martha White Self Rising flour and made the buttermilk as you descibed ... 1 1/2 cup milk plus 1 Tablespoon vinegar) Thanks I’ve been putting off going to the grocery store (and have been wanting to get back to scratch cooking), so I didn’t have any bread or bisquick for breakfast.

I'm so glad you liked these and that they made your boyfriend happy!! I wouldn't fret over the White Lily. Since Smuckers bought them out and moved all production out of the south last summer(they even closed the TN plant), most people say it just isn't the same quality. Personally, I no longer use White Lily. I hate that, I miss my White Lily but it just doesn't exist for me any more. I use Wal Mart brand self rising flour most times now. If you can find anything made by CH Guenther where you live, that is a great company which I've had personal contact with and they used to be the ones who made White Lily before JM Smucker bought them out. Thank you for your question and I hope this helps! Wal Mart brand self rising will yield the same results. Like I said, I miss my White Lily, but that White Lily just isn't around anymore. Hope this helps and sorry for the down note! Gratefully, Christy Hey Jennifer!

I've never been able to make Southern biscuits correctly and my boyfriend is quite a fan of them... his parents are from rural Danville Virginia and his mother always made them from scratch (with lard) just the way her grandmother taught her. It's not the same recipe, but he loved these biscuits. One question though, all the local stores in my area, (Lynchburg, Va) have said that White Lily Flour is no longer going to be distributed to any stores in my surrounding area of VA... I guess I can order online, but if not, have your ever found any other flour of similar quality for this recipe? I tried this recipe for the first time in May 2009.

I baked the Biscuits making the self rising flour at home. The quick bread is great, tastes wonderfully and are easy to make! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I posted in my blog and gave you the credits for the recipe, ok? Thanks! Christy,
