Homemade Biscuits


          Who doesn't love fresh, homemade biscuits? For many Appalachian folk, life just wouldn't be so without biscuits, homemade butter and molasses. They are a time honored treasure you too can enjoy with this simple and delicious recipe! ~







Ingredients:

  • 2 cups All Purpose flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 5 - 6 tbsp real butter or lard
  • 1 cup whole or buttermilk


Directions:

Thoroughly mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Add in cold butter/lard and crumble into the dry flour mix. Mix until coarse and very crumbly. Then add 1 cup of cold milk. Mix and knead. Place dough onto floured surface and roll 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Cut biscuits with cutter, or jar or ring. Be sure to straight cut and not twist the biscuits out as that will seal the dough. 

Bake in baking pan or cast iron skillet for 15 minutes at 400 degrees.

Have the gravy, butter, and molasses ready! Enjoy!~

  6. Just made your biscuits! Girl,i have tried many recipes but none so good as yours! recipes I have used are mostly too dry and i'm afraid to add more liquid and then mix again - watching your video helped me overcome my fear of over mixing and using more than 3/4 c. cold milk or buttermilk.
    I've got one of your biscuits slathered in butter and honey right now an WOW! thank you soooooooooo much!

  7. Hi there, I watched many of your youtube videos about homesteading and we'd like to send you an off-gird battery and solar security camera for your barn, so that you can keep tabs on your livestock anytime and anywhere on your mobile phone. If you're interested in this proposal, please feel free to contact me anytime.

  15. Oh my gosh, been watching your channel for quite a while but just found the blog with the recipes. mmmm mmm goodness. I have a question. My aunt made me many moons ago (fellow Tennessean both she and I) what she called and she said this all in one syllable (Butterroll) I never got the recipe from her and I look online and looks like some people have new fangled it up or what they call remix. Please ask your granny if she has old timey recipe for Butterroll. I KNOW she probably does. It uses lots of flour, lots of butter and sugar and I think some sweetened condensed milk. ?
