Recently, I accidentally came across this video and was intrigued with how simple you made the process. Although years ago I vowed never again to make homemade biscuits (after oodles of baking 'rocks'), I tried this recipe incorporating your tips and was AMAZED. For the first time ever I made delicious homemade biscuits!! So thank you for sharing!

Same! Both my DEARS Gran/GG used Lard/Crisco and special occasion N Sundays used Butter. As 4 me overall I use Butter but on occasion I'll Crisco. For me, White Lily & Martha White. Enjoyed video.

FYI, my grandmother used grapefruit juice to curdle whole milk in about the same proportions you list in your recipe. She used whole milk right from the cow and not bottled milk, so it had a good percentage of cream in it. She probably used store brand self rising flour right from the local Colonial store, where she usually shopped. Actually, I do not know what brand of flour she used. It was usually in 25# cloth bags, which also made good pillow cases and cotton quilts.

Hi. Your video is awesome. You mentioned we can freeze the buttermilk biscuits but, the consistency chances isn't it? The biscuit won't look like biscuit and will have a weird texture. I tried to do that once and I don't know if I did something wrong. Maybe the gluten developed by itself in the meantime. Could you tell me more about it?

@Southernbite 3 жыл бұрын

I've never had any trouble freezing and reheating them. I just use the instructions I outline in the video: freeze them individually before baking, then store in a ziptop bag until cooking.

Hi. Thank you for sharing. I have three questions : 1. Why do you use unsalted butter and salt instead of salted butter? 2. The ocean level affects the amount of each ingredient, or I should use the same measures everywhere? It also affects the oven temperature? What should I do in every case? 3. I can't buy liquid buttermilk in my country, could I use powdered buttermilk? What is the ratio for it? The quality is the same with liquid buttermilk and powdered buttermilk? It is even convenient?

@Southernbite 3 жыл бұрын

The salt helps to add some stability to the dough. Since salted butter has different amounts of salt depending on the brand, adding it yourself means it's more consistent. When it comes to the issues surrounding seal level, that's not something I have any experience in, so I'm not a great resource for those issues. When it comes to the powdered buttermilk, it will work. Simply use the instructions on the package of powdered buttermilk to make 1 cup of liquid buttermilk. It should be about 4 tablespoons of powdered to 1 cup of water. Hope this helps!

Fantastic recipe! I can't yet White Lily Flour here, but I always use King Arthur. To get the tender biscuits should I use self-rising flour, or would bread flour be better?

@Southernbite 2 жыл бұрын

Bread flour has a higher protein content which doesn’t make it ideal for biscuits.

I may be a lone wolf here, but I'm wondering why measure flour in cups (volume), rather than grams/ounces (weight)**. Since baking is very much a science, the precision we get by using weight versus volume produces more desirable outcomes. Same goes for the fat you are using. You will find recipes from other countries use weight instead of volume for most dry ingredients. Just a thought. ** I actually know why, thank you Fannie Farmer. Your gifts to us have been blessings (and curses).

@Southernbite Жыл бұрын

I think you answered your own question, but here are my thoughts. First, I totally agree with you. Here in the states, volume measurements are more common. Since I want my recipes to be approachable, I use what’s familiar to my readers. Plus, it’s more common that folks have a dry measuring cup over a food scale. And yes, weight measurement is more accurate. But not everyone can agree on what a cup of flour should weigh. www.latimes.com/food/story/2021-02-05/what-does-a-cup-of-flour-weigh-its-surprisingly-complicated
