I have made them with sweet milk (regular milk) and they were fine too. Just didn't have that little twang that buttermilk gives them.

My leftover turkey carcass got me thinking about turkey stew. I usually make simple drop biscuit dough and drop it on top of the boiling stew fro dumplings. May have to give your recipe a try at it!

White Lilly must be one of the deep south secrets that never made its way out West, so I'll have to settle for whatever brand of flour they sell here!
 
OK..... Now we can all bake great biscuits like Lady Kathryn...  I found WhiteLily on Amazon for $3.60/5#'s delivered, with a prime account.... Ordered 10#'s....  It is an add on item that has to be delivered with other stuff....  It is one of the few "Soft Winter Wheats" on the market.... the Southern Belle's secret to biscuits, or so I have heard...  I ordered light rye flour also...  got the sourdough starter going again, but that's for a different thread...  

For what it's worth, trying to make good biscuits from anything other than soft wheat is an exercise in futility..   Dave (who doesn't know squat about baking)

If that flour is soo special, why can't people on the West coast and East coast find it in any stores here (there)?

We like biscuits too.

We don't have a southern accent....  no accent, no great biscuit flour...  Right Kat....  
That's not hospitable, the West coast has sour dough French and dungeness crabs for all and the East has all the snow you can carry away.

I wish It was all over the place.  I swear that flour is the silkiest I have ever used.  Gold Medal will work or Martha White....if yall have those brands.  BUT....I will agree it must be a "Southern Thang"!

The Bread flour made by them is the bomb too!  My cornbread is made from this company too.
 
Jeeze!  I swear it's the best I have ever used!  I will check when I go to the store this weekend and see what it sells for on the shelves.  I may have to become the supplier!

Kat-thanks for the recipe.  I have a similer recipe and the biscuits are called cat-head biscuits cuz they are as big as a cat's head. Now with your biscuit recipe, Pops sausage recipe and my recipe for Dutch's Gourmet Cowboy Gravy; we have the making of a fine meal!

Yummmmo!  That does sound good to me!  Tummy is growling at me right now. I am going to save the recipe too!
 
Kat the difference in the recipes is mine calls for AP flour and has baking powder, baking soda and salt.
 
Funny Bill!  I have made an entire pound cake using the SR flour and not AP.  That cake spilled in my oven floor and stuck it's self to the cake pan like concrete!  Feel your pain dear!

Wanna see the good batch!  LOL
I did that too. Only took one time though. Love your biscuit recipe and you are right, nothing but White Lily SR for the best biscuits hands down. About a year ago I did a comparison bake using three different flours, including White Lily AP and added in the baking powder. the WL SR won hands down. I am a HUGE fan of King Arthur flours as I have at least 15 different ones and they recently came out with a self-rising variety. I might use your recipe and do a comparison with the two. Sounds like fun! I'll keep ya posted. 
 
OOOOOO.....Please keep me posted!  show pics too!  I love my biscuits and love Roller's bread too!
