I cried watching this video. Those hands are such a blessing to her family. They reminded me of my dear grandmother's hands carefully and lovingly working to feed her family. Loved this video.
@MrCrimsoneyedprince Hi. Usually if your biscuits are tough, you are working the dough too long or working in too much flour. Notice this lady's dough is quite loose when she starts making the balls. Hope that helps.
@MrCrimsoneyedprince Usually it's mixing too long, mixing in too much flour etc. If you have too much flour your biscuit dough will be quite dry and that can make a tough and dry biscuit. Look at 2:44 in her video. She literally squeezes wet dough from her fingers then covers the wet dough with a bit more flour before she begins hand forming the biscuits. The dough is very loose at this point, it is the flour on her hands that keeps it from sticking. You might need more shortening too.
@2JobsStillPoorUSA you must not how to make true southern biscuits. its supposed to be real sticky at first then you add flour to get it into a formable ball. that is what maes them real fluffy, hers is the best i've seen besides my grandma's who makes them the same way.
@taylorbroganchickens Well, aren't you just precious? If you read my comments you would know that my people are southern and YES I do know southern biscuits. I said "you don't want to work in too much flour or work the dough too much because that makes them heavy and tough."

@AlgrimBlack yes we call sweet biscuits cookies. This is video is about a quick soda bread we call biscuits. (scones to you) We don't speak "English" here... we speak American. :P
@AlgrimBlack You are welcome. btw... super easy peanut butter cookie recipe. (might be able to adapt other nut butters... I don't know) Of course the measurements are in "American" measurements. 1 C peanut butter, 1 C sugar, 1 large egg, 1 tsp vanilla. (yep, no flour) mix together,, create several 1 inch balls then squash flat them with a fork. Bake at 350*F about 10 minutes or until just golden brown. These are crispy cookies and are very yummy.
@2JobsStillPoorUSA nah we use the same measurements sometimes, except Fahrenheit. Love peanut butter, and ive just moved to uni and those ingredients are some of the few things i have in right now (except vanilla), know what I'm having for supper, haha, thanks
@AlgrimBlack oh man... these are the perfect cookie for the uni student.... just because there is no flour. You really need that vanilla though. Let me know how you like them!
@2JobsStillPoorUSA got vanilla while shopping today, made tons of them for me and my flatmates, soooo good :) cheers for the recipe, will be making those again
@lynncrum lol yeah, u might have to look back through the comments if u can be bothered. its a seperate recipe for some cookies (i was confused because what i call biscuits americans call cookies)
Very nice video! Sort of reminds me of my Grandma making homemade biscuits. Smh.. Btw...., the background music is very nice. What's the name of that song?
@werewolficd actually biscuits are a byproduct of European short breads such as scones! add sugar, ease off on the shortening add a mold and poof a scone. i don't see the racism, actually African blacks have not been making biscuits, since before the slave trade, that in and of itself is a racist remark. What you are referring to are mostly flat breads with no rising agents. his comment was in reference to texture and the crust that biscuits develop that are similar to scones or buttermilk bars.
Now that's a work of art. It is so lovely to see her work automatically. My grandmother made biscuits just like that. Never ever used a rolling pin or a cutter.
@Z71Ranger my mom had a "biscuit bowl" The flour was re-sifted over and over until the entire amount was used. This "in the well" way of making biscuits is very frugal... considering you working just the right amount of flour by the feel of the dough... and not by a recipe. Flour tends to draw and release moisture from the air so a measured amount would give you inconsistent results.
@2JobsStillPoorUSA I see now what is going on. I will have to get me a biscuit bowl. That's very smart no waste or clean up. I like that. Thanks for the reply.
@gonetapott, what would 400 degrees be in gas marks? like gas mark four five and so on. Thank you., this look so easy. do you have to make the buttermilk or do you buy it? i was wondering thanks for sharing
@988GUMMYBEAR2010 You want a hot oven. My mother put ours on 500*F I'm not sure what "gas Marks" it would be but I would guess it is close to the max ... maybe 3/4 of the way to high.
I knew it was good when I saw the White Lily bag. Excellent job, my dear! You'd give my sainted grandmother a run for her money. Just don't tell her I said so!
This is TOTALLY OLD SCHOOL!!...Just the way it should be. I LOVE IT! Thanks for this video. Of course I'll use "Unbleached Flour" and Natural Shortning. " You go Granny!!"
Yes ma'am you better make them busicuits! Now you need some gravy! So many people say you have to measure when baking-well you no when making huge quanitys like for a reastaurant, but at home when you make the same recipe over and over its just easier to eye ball and go by feel.
All this riff raff over some homemade biscuits! LOL! I love how she makes biscuits. That is how my mom and grand mothers made them. They used to use lard instead of shortening and would just melt in your mouth. I love this lady and her sweet, southern accent.
This is just how my Grandma use to make biscuits...same technique squishing thru your fingers rolling between to hands finally laying them on the pan with a lil pat! I wished I'd paid more attention... RIP Nana! Thank You for making this video!
America is filled with diversity? yeah, them and just about every other developed nation these days.
Seriously. You're nowhere near being the only melting pot. But there was something you didn't answer, if there is diversity in the American biscuits could you give me some other examples of American biscuits that are significantly different to this... 'this' being combined SR Flour & fat, mixed down with some milk & baked... similar in method to making a scone.
But may I ask again... WHY IN THE HELL are you bringing up COLOUR in the comments section of a video about cooking!?? I said 'American'
To 100% of the world outside USA, it means a citizen of the USA. That is their nationality. A person born and raised in Ireland is Irish. A person born and raised in Australia is Australian. Racism will be a problem so long as people treat eachother differently based on race, which is exactly what you are doing.
Last time I checked I never invaded africa, stole anyone from their homes or forced anyone to work either. But I do see you being racist. And hey just because you have problems in the states, don't try imagining that they apply everywhere. I'm an Australian, we were Irish political prisoners who were sent here to do slave labour half our lives because we spread ideas that threatened the establishment. Or rather, we weren't. Our ancestors were. You're full of shit, pull your head in
also majority population in South Africa are various 'black' ethnicities, since 1994 it has been a democratically run country and they're taking baby steps towards national unification as the population are gradually becoming educated and the middle classes are growing with people of all ethnicities. People with your mindset are getting in the way
Why does it matter who eats them? why did you bring race into this at all? a scone is a scone, in europe & Aus a biscuit is more of a crisp crumbly thing similar to a cookie. Italians eat pasta, North Africans eat buryani, Spanish eat paela, Americans eat burgers.
'White' is not a race, 'Black' is not a race, they are 'colour' labels thown around by idiots without a clue. Excuse my french but nationality, food & culture has fuck-all to do with race. Sir
:S No... a 'biscuit' means something very different overseas than it does in the states. I was just interested in what exactly a 'biscuit' in the states was. Seems you're a mite hypersensitive about race man. NOWHERE did I mention anything about race.
scones are also consumed by Australians, English, South Africans.etc and it's basically just a biscuit cut smaller & taller made with butter instead of vegetable shortening, which is why I mentioned the similarities as I was surprised
I have always used butter as the grease, and I was never happy with the way they came out. My husband loves them but I think the shortening makes them much more moisting. The butter makes them dry. Thanks for the tips but isn't that a lot of flour wasted? Not that I mean to offend it is just that I am so against waste. I love the way your biscuits taste though. Just wanted to add that I put goat cheese, parm and cheddar into my biscuits and they are wonderful. Like to add chives too!
@TheTinywhitedove No, this is what is known as "in the well" method. The dough is worked by feel. Good southern cooks know exactly what the biscuit dough should feel like. Notice her bowl is a tupperware bowl... she saves the excess flour which she re-sifts the next time she makes biscuits. The re-sifting removes any hard bits left behind from this time. She will continue this way until all this flour is used adding fresh flour to keep her well deep enough.
LOVE THIS!! Brings back memories of sitting on the counter watching my Mamaw and my Mom make biscuits the exact same way.. White Lily and all!!!! I feel 4 instead of 40. :))I hope my teenage daughter will have the same memories of her Nana and I making these biscuits every Sunday for them..
I made mine tonight and I must say, She gave me the Best "Family Feedback" I've had. I've tried several recipes on Youtube and other blog sites, but this one my Family loooved. Thanks for posting!!!
I've always wondered what 'biscuits' were to Americans. They seem similar to scones but wider with a different shortening used. Was that SR flour or plain flour?
thanks for bringing back a great memory. I'm a yankee who was stationed in Va and NC in the Army. I can surely testify to the supremacy of southern biscuits! No northern source comes close to any southern baker. Folks up here just dont understand the pride in craftsmanship of biscuits or grits.
One can also make (if one keeps kosher, and wants bickies with meat) a dairy-free biscuit with 2 C of water and 2 Tbsp of vinegar (instead of 2 1/4 cups of milk). They turn out nearly (not quite) as well as homemade bickies, and WAY better than those store-bought-in-a-can things...
Fantastic, now all I need is my mom's fig preserves and I'll be ready for a feast. This is the way the women in my family make biscuits, even down the same brands of ingredients. Miss Deloris must be in Alabama or Mississippi, unless Dairy Fresh is distributing milk further afield these days.

My mom makes fry bread in almost the exact same fashion, she even uses the same wooden mixing bowl my grandma used which is probably close to a century old now, the bowl I mean lol
Did all of you sweet ladies come from the same University of Biscuit Making?? I knew one other wonderful woman who made them just like this and they were fantastic. I have never been able to get them just right, but this makes me want to try again!
Oh... I once told my granny that I ate some biscuits in the Army that didnt really taste like biscuits even tho they looked like biscuits.. I'll never forget what she said: "Just because a cat has kittens in the oven don't makem biscuits". I now realize what she was saying was ... just because they came out of the oven dont makem "REAL BISCUITS". Aint that a hoot.
First off I'm a man so don't think these questions are ignorant. question #1 can I use lard instead of criso? 2nd question can I make a bunch.. say about 50 and freeze them because we work and aint got time and I like to take them deer huntin with me. Is it ok to freeze them? Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the video! I think I might have kneaded the mixture too much, because the biscuits came out not as soft in the middle as I was expecting. Could that be the case?
THANKS, My Mom made biscuits the very same way and I just made a pan full 45 minutes ago, fixing to have biscuits and sausae gravy, Ya'll come on over and sit.
Aww, this takes me back to the days when my grandmothers did this. Just like her...didn't need a measuring cup or anything. They both are gone now and some of those good ole southern recipes. This brought a tear to my eye to see this.
Those bisquits look great. May I have some butter and honey with them too. And, if it's not to to much trouble, a couple of eggs over easy, a short stack of pancakes, some hash browns, grits, a few pieces of thick bacon, and a tall glass of fresh milk please. Thanks' It was delicioue!
For those wondering why she served them upside down... I found her answer lost among all these comments lol.
Also an important fact to know is by flipping them upside down, it keeps the bottom crispy which is a must to southern biscuit eaters / crispy bottom and soft inside is traditional and many people wont eat them any other way!
That is how my momie showed all her children on how to make bread...some learned and some didn't. Bet this nice lady could make some mean gravy to eat w/ the biscuits.
This is an excellent Youtube video. I wish that written recipes could convey how to treat the dough in the manner Southern Chef does but it's hardly possible without visuals. Now, off to make some biscuits for my fried chicken lol! Thank you!!!!
this is EXACTLY how my momma made biscuits, and her mother too, and now it's how I make them. I must admit that I use a little less shortening than that. And I make mine in a cast-iron skillet. I keep my flour in a sealed tupperware bowl, and I just use that same flour every time. I do have to sift, because there's bits of dried dough from the last time I made them. Also, you can use oil, but not olive oil, as it would give them an odd taste.
crisco gives it the light fluffy texture that is the signature of a biscuit. It isn't very healthy, but if you use olive oil (or even butter) it will not turn out. Believe me, I substitute olive or canola oil whenever possible, but many southern specialities simply require saturated fats to set up the way they are supposed to.
i find it weird that americans call bicuits something completely different to the rest of the world. Anyway I love the music - its from the Sims I'm sure

thanks for bringing back a great memory. I'm a yankee who was stationed in Va and NC in the Army. I can surely testify to the supremacy of southern biscuits! No northern source comes close to any southern baker. Folks up here just dont understand the pride in craftsmanship of biscuits or grits.
God bless.

One can also make (if one keeps kosher, and wants bickies with meat) a dairy-free biscuit with 2 C of water and 2 Tbsp of vinegar (instead of 2 1/4 cups of milk). They turn out nearly (not quite) as well as homemade bickies, and WAY better than those store-bought-in-a-can things...

Fantastic, now all I need is my mom's fig preserves and I'll be ready for a feast. This is the way the women in my family make biscuits, even down the same brands of ingredients. Miss Deloris must be in Alabama or Mississippi, unless Dairy Fresh is distributing milk further afield these days.

My mom makes fry bread in almost the exact same fashion, she even uses the same wooden mixing bowl my grandma used which is probably close to a century old now, the bowl I mean lol

Oh... I once told my granny that I ate some biscuits in the Army that didnt really taste like biscuits even tho they looked like biscuits.. I'll never forget what she said: "Just because a cat has kittens in the oven don't makem biscuits". I now realize what she was saying was ... just because they came out of the oven dont makem "REAL BISCUITS". Aint that a hoot.

Thank you for the video! I think I might have kneaded the mixture too much, because the biscuits came out not as soft in the middle as I was expecting. Could that be the case?
gogirldawgs1 1 year ago
Yes it sounds like you kneaded it to much. When it's just right they come out so soft and fluffy.
gonetapott 1 year ago
@gogirldawgs1 Yep! If one kneads the biscuits too much, or re-rolls them too much (I think once is MAYBE the limit), they get rather tough...

@gogirldawgs1 Add more shortening than this video, about two baseball sized scoops. Also, a little less flour, probably no more than 5 cups.

Those bisquits look great. May I have some butter and honey with them too. And, if it's not to to much trouble, a couple of eggs over easy, a short stack of pancakes, some hash browns, grits, a few pieces of thick bacon, and a tall glass of fresh milk please. Thanks' It was delicioue!
fiji9000 1 year ago
For those wondering why she served them upside down... I found her answer lost among all these comments lol.
Also an important fact to know is by flipping them upside down, it keeps the bottom crispy which is a must to southern biscuit eaters / crispy bottom and soft inside is traditional and many people wont eat them any other way!

Biscuits like grand mama can only make: by feel, no measuring.
My grandma made them the exact same way. I've tried a few times and still can't duplicate them because I'm unsure about the consistency of the dough.
Btw, I think the biscuits are flipped because it was the easiest way to put them on a plate. They're hot when they come right out the oven!
Thanks for posting this!
bychancely 2 years ago 2
this is EXACTLY how my momma made biscuits, and her mother too, and now it's how I make them. I must admit that I use a little less shortening than that. And I make mine in a cast-iron skillet. I keep my flour in a sealed tupperware bowl, and I just use that same flour every time. I do have to sift, because there's bits of dried dough from the last time I made them. Also, you can use oil, but not olive oil, as it would give them an odd taste.
HoneybeeDebbie 2 years ago 2
Also...why did you flip the biscuits over? That was strange....this video is messing with my mind lol
i'm just surfing youtube and found your video....now you got me wondering why you flipped them biscuits over...why!!!!
AlizeeClochette25 2 years ago
I don't understand...why do biscuits need to be made with a handful of crisco? Why not just the flour and buttermilk only?
Watching you grab that handful of crisco shortening made my arteries tighten up
If you insist on using shortening, why not use something healthier like Olive Oil
I'm no expert..i never have made biscuits...I am just curious as to why you use that horrible crisco shortening?
I have no doubt my mother made it this way too so I know they taste great, no disrespect to you
AlizeeClochette25 2 years ago
@AlizeeClochette25 I was thinking the same thing. That can NOT possibly be healthy.
beardedoneder 2 years ago
crisco gives it the light fluffy texture that is the signature of a biscuit. It isn't very healthy, but if you use olive oil (or even butter) it will not turn out. Believe me, I substitute olive or canola oil whenever possible, but many southern specialities simply require saturated fats to set up the way they are supposed to.
I just eat these sorts of foods in moderation.
