Twist or No Twist Biscuit Cutting - Things Grandma Said
This is a recipe from our Old Cookbook Show: • 1910 Rumford Southern ...
Rumford Southern Sweet Potato Biscuits Recipe - Old Cookbook Show
Today we look at a recipe from one of our old cookbooks for Southern biscuits made with sweet potato. In this time period potato biscuits were popular, and sweet potato biscuits especially so. The potatoes make a super light and soft biscuit, even if you have the 'wrong' flour.
Ingredients:
3 cups flour
6 teaspoons Rumford Baking Powder **I misspoke in the video, it's definitely 6 teaspoons
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons shortening
1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato
About 1 cup milk
Method:
Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together, cut in the shortening, add the potatoes, then the milk gradually, and mix to a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured board and roll out one-half inch thick, cut into biscuits, place on a baking sheet and bake twelve to fifteen minutes in a hot oven.

Notice how the biscuit cutter can also be used to make crinkle edged biscuits if you flip it? I wonder if the no twist rule originated from when you're using the crinkled side? Like you don't want to twist a shaped cookie cutter at Christmas or your gingerbread men will come out weirdly shaped. And then someone who didn't understand the why just kept repeating it.

My mother was from Oklahoma. Grandma was from Arkansas, Great-Grandmother was from Mississippi. So yeah, Southern cooks for generations. Mom always used a drinking glass to cut her biscuits and she'd twist it when cut the dough. Her biscuits rocked. So tall, fluffy and tender. I've never had biscuits that tasted like hers from anyone or anywhere else. I can't even make them like she did. So yeah, it doesn't matter.

I used to use a drinking glass, one day cutting biscuits the side of the glass popped off, just a perfect semi circle of glass. After that I’ve used something open topped (like an actual biscuit cutter) or a knife so it doesn’t hold air pressure because I’m pretty sure that’s what the issue was.

true story … it is even worse to turn meat only once, because the more often you turn it, the more even the heat distribution in the meat itself is. that results in less grey edges all around. there is a great video here on youtube by heston bloomenthal. his advice is to turn it every 10-15 seconds

I think it has more to do with the device you use to cut the biscuit. A glass or a can will not cut through the dough and is more likely to seal the edges. A cutter with a sharp edge will give a higher rise.

In Australia, I was always told not to twist by my mother when we made scones. Her reason was not to do with the amount of rise, but with how straight the rise was. Twisted scones were said to rise unevenly or to spiral rather than rise straight. Also the scone dough is a lot softer than Glen's biscuit dough, so I don't know if that would make any difference either.

my Bigmama was born in 1900 in rural Southern US. She didn't tell me anything about twisting or not. However, she did bake biscuits touching, not separated. I did a test touching and not touching with the same batch of dough, and if they touch the edges are soooo soft, but they still rise as nicely. Very little difference in the method totally changed the outcome and brought back such happy memories of her.

You should do cracking an egg on a flat surface vs the edge of a bowl. A prominent chef once said that using a flat surface is better because you're less likely to get bits of shell, and now internet commenters aggressively defend that. Personally I have no issues either way, and I slightly prefer using the edge of a bowl because it's less likely to leave egg on the counter.

I figured it would affect fluted cutters more than round circular ones, since you could theoretically damage the fluted edge of the cut biscuit if it were to drag against the counter a little as you twisted the cutter. As opposed to cutting straight down which would preserve the fluting as you can peel the leftover dough off from around it and pull it off the surface. No idea personally though - when I've used a fluted cutter in the past the dough has been stiff enough that I couldn't tell a difference.

Love the idea for the series and this vid in particular, but I'd also like to see this test repeated with a more traditional laminated biscuit dough. I'm sure those are delicious biscuits, but they really don't rise as high as more traditional "southern style" biscuits I've seen. Not that I think your conclusion must be wrong, only that it might be, with another type of dough. Also, I'm almost certain that I've always heard it that you cannot twist while pushing down; twisting once you have made contact with the board is ok. Looking forward to the next installment!

Yes! this is what I have always loved about your channel. You tell people that its OK if you mess up when cooking, that things can go wrong, and that people don't have to hold fast to an exact recipe. As much as I enjoy the food network shows, so many of the chefs have gotten inflexible and set in their "traditional" takes on foods. To rant on a tangent: I'm not going to die on the truffle oil hill, but it can be good when used judiciously on parmesan fries and stuff. Yeah, it ain't real truffles, we normal people who don't eat at truffle-serving restaurants understand that. But in literally every food network show, if a cook so much as looks at truffle oil, all the chefs go all "no true cook would ever use truffle oil" with a holier than thou attitude.

I loved this. Just my kind of kitchen experiment! Some notes: The twist argument is not all about rise - it is also about layers, flaking and edges. I could tell the twisted side right off because of the biscuit that you picked up after Jules made her guess; You can see where the dough had twisted the layers together clearly on that one (it faced the camera fully when you were showing the viewers and giving us a chance to guess) your cutter was smooth, you used a lot of flour and your twisted layers did not look too bad all in all. Older, more textured cutters - or slightly more "damp" dough and the outcome would be very different, i think. Would be neat to see you do this again with an antique cutter verses a new one!

In the South we have biscuits two to three times the thickness of these biscuits. I used to twist in my youth but now I don't. Visit a Cracker Barrel which was founded here in the Nashville area of Lebanon and you'll understand a Southern biscuit. Not sure what all of their ingredients are. Self rising flour makes all the difference in ease. I have used Crisco, cold butter, and coconut oil (every one I tell that gasps). 😄 I truly like the Coconut oil biscuits best. My only requirement is buttermilk. Sweet milk only in the house means I don't get to make biscuits.

While it may not be definitive for biscuits, I can tell you twisting puff pastry causes a noticeable difference va not twisting. I say this as someone who has looked at his puff pastry and wondered how the hell that happened (they looked like little ufos and the edges were super thin, only a couple of layers puffed but they were full sized, ended up using them as soup bowls). Still delicious but definitely learned a lesson there. I think the problem with puff pastry is that the twist melds the various layers of the edge into 1 layer, preventing the edges from puffing up but not the middle

My Mom very old school kept her flour in a really large SS bowl to make biscuits in. There was always left over flour from the previous mix. She added more to it and all other ingredients mixed and choked the ball of dough off and placed them in a cast iron pan. She always used her fingers to indent and press to make the height she wanted, perfect every time. During strawberry season she made what my Dad called catheads, that was 2-3 times the dough per biscuits. To keep the flour in SS pan it was covered with a towel. Sorry for length story. I carry this tidbit and passing it on to my grandkids. I thinks it's a way of life or tradition.

I grew up in North Carolina with all my roots going back to Kentucky. I may get kicked out of the “southern club,” but I have always twisted my biscuit cutter. It just seemed natural. Never saw a difference in the rise. Now I don’t even roll the dough out on the counter. I found it’s quicker to knead the dough in the bowl and just form the biscuits in my hands individually. I have a very small kitchen with almost no room to roll out a dough.
