Buttermilk Biscuits....easy!

[candycoated]

As an honorary daughter of a biscuit eater, I approve these biscuits!

No extra butter, just honey please!

Lady Mel...sorghum syrup would work too!

Those biscuits look sooo good. The pics with them in the skillet took me back a few years to when I was a kid.

Kat, I grew up in north Alabama and never saw anything but White Lily in my Mama's and Grandmother's pantry. My wife is from Atlanta and that's all she will use, too.

Thanks for the recipe, the way you broke it down I think even I can do a batch. I'll give it a try this weekend!

On my way to Kroger for some buttermilk and see if they carry the White Lily brand. Can't wait to make these!!!

From this day forward biscuits as I know them will forever change.

Never again will I crack open a cardboard tube over a cookie sheet.

Thank you from the bottom of my biscuit eating heart!

I used to use another brand....but White Lily has got to be the silkiest flour I have ever used.  Use the AP, SR and their Corn meal too.  Let me know how you like it!

Thank you!

I am adding this post to Kathryns thread at her request.  It is not a hi-jack.

I thought you might like a slight variation to your recipe since it is almost identical with one exception.  Notice how close the ingredients and the amounts are with a couple of exceptions.  This is for cheese biscuits and it is awsome.  No better than your recipe but slightly different with a little different taste for those who love cheese.  I got this recipe from a relative so it is not ioriginal with me.

2 cups SR flour (I use Lilly White and sometimes Martha White)

1/3 cup shortening

1/4 stick butter, melted

1 cup buttermilk

1tsp baking powder

1 pinch salt

1 tsp sugar

3/4 cup grated sharp cheddar

In a medium mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder, salt to taste, and the sugar.  Use a fork to cut in the shortening until it becomes sort of like cornmeal.  Add the cheese along with the buttermilk and stir until blended.  Careful not to over stir.  Drop tablespoonfulls on to a greased cookie sheet and brush the dough with melted butter.  Bake at 350 degrees for about fifteen minutes.

I just thought that you might find this to be a refreshing change for you and your family.  Especially those who are fond of cheese.

Kat, gave the biscuits a try this morning. I just dropped them on an oiled sheet pan and baked.

Wow! What a great recipe, and so easy to make. No more frozen biscuit for this guy. Thanks for sharing.

 

[kathrynn]

Looks great Toby!  Glad you enjoyed them!

Kat....you are not going to believe what I did!!!!

Your biscuit recipe is so easy anyone could do it - apparently anyone but me...

So in less than 5 minutes I had the dough prepared and dropped into a cake pan ('cause I don't have a cast iron skillet - YET).

I popped them into a 450* oven and after 20 minutes they just weren't browning properly - didn't look right.  I pour the butter on and bake for a few more minutes...

My son comes in about the time I am turning them onto a plate...I'm not happy...they don't look right, just thick and kinda flat and wet lookin'....so Brad says "they have yeast in them?" and I give myself the V8 smack on the forehead!!!  Dang!  I used AP instead of SR flour....knew it as soon as I saw the biscuits.  I pulled flour out of the wrong container - checked and my SR canister is empty...

Trying again as soon as Steph gets home from the store with my SR flour!

I am so ashamed....

  dangit!

[kathrynn]

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

 

[pgsmoker64]

Steph went out to get her hair done and is picking up the SR on the way home....could be about midnight before the biscuits are done...just sayin'  

 

[kathrynn]

Waiting on the B-view!!!!!  LOL

Well I did the same thing last weekend and couldn't figure it out. I thought I followed the recipe exactly, guess I didn't know what "SR" flour was, I thought any old flour would work. I gave up on the idea of making biscuits until I read this. Guess I'm going to have to get some "SR" and give it another try!

Oh Kat one other thing, I don't know if the flour made a difference but when I put the dough in the skillet it didn't even come close to filling it up like yours did in the picture. I used a 10" skillet.

 

[kathrynn]

Dave----my skillet is about 8 inches and that maybe why.  I have one of the smaller "old versions".....I will remember to actually put Self Rising in the recipe from now on.  This one is the only recipe that I use "SR" flour with!

I will get on the recipe and change it to the correct wordings.

Gosh I love this forum....

I should have figured out what it meant or asked. As soon as I read the word "yeast" in Bill's post it hit me what "SR" meant!
