thank you so much! I will try...I love biscuits anytime.

Biscuits and sausage gravy is my favorite!
But will make almost anything into a biscuit sandwich...

thanks for posting...I'm going to give them a try too.

I've been wanting a good biscuit recipe.

You're welcome!
Let me know how they turn out for you. I just took some butter out of the freezer. This thread made me hungry for them!

Sounds good. Did you read that someone on the household tips thread says that they use a box cutter with cold butter to cut it into biscuits? Sounds like an easy way to me.

Hey guys!
Before you start making the biscuits, there's a typo with the milk!!

It should be 3/4 cup milk.....not 1 and 3/4!!

Joan, that was my suggestion. I do use a box cutter, or my fingers.

Have them in the oven now. That's what triggered the typo.
I hope no one starts making them till they see the corrected amount of milk.

Waht? No buttermilk? Being in the South, I believe biscuits AND cornbread are suppose to have BUTTERMILK...and not that "low fat" stuff!!! lol

I tried them with buttermilk powder last weekend, (dissolved in water) and they didn't get up as high. Must need the real thing, I guess.

What are your thoughts, Southern Ma'am?

LOL...I've never heard of Buttermilk Powder! I can only find one brand of Whole Buttermilk here..and that's what I buy! Ya know what they say..if it's good, it's not good FOR you!!! lol

I've never had a problem with my biscuits rising. My problem is the umph to MAKE them!!!

Mmmmmm these are good!!
We had a sample when they came out of the oven, and we'll have more with dinner. Wanna come for din-din Country?

Hey, just so you know, you can buy buttermilk powder in the States too! Handy for times when you don't have the real thing, or if people are like me, and are too cheap....no "economical" to buy it unless it's on sale!

Sounds so good!! I feel that it's no matter what you make for supper, if you serve hot-home made biscuits...you got a feast.

Biscuits are easy to make, I never measure. Just do not handle them very long or they will be tough.

what I do is mix about 2 cups self rising flour a dash of salt, a extra pinch of baking powder.
about 1/3 cup Crisco, then pour in some buttermilk. they will be slightly wet looking. Toss one into some SR flour roll around just a bit like you were making a meatball then place on a baking sheet. bake at 350º about 20 min till browned. I put a small pat of margarine on top of each. I usually make chedder cheese biscusts so I will add some shredded chedder in the flour mixture.

Remember to handle very lightly and they will be soft & fluffy.
