Biscuits

[gobbleinwoods]

My mom made the best biscuits I ever ate. I never learned how and now that she is gone that is the one thing I really really wish I had learned from her.

After she put hers in a pan she went and used a teaspoon to make a dimple in each one and filled it with about half a teaspoon of melted butter.

My wife made drop biscuits and on occasion she used mayo in the mix when she didn't have oil which she used instead of shortning. Her biscuits are dang good but they do not hold a candle to my moms.

I think my mom used the white lily recipe.

I make drop biscuits too but mine are seem to be a little crumbly unlike my normal buttermilk ones. Still trying to perfect the drop ones. The best I ever had came from Elizabeth's restaurant in Savannah.

I have never had a drop biscuit that wasn't crumbly.

I don't eat biscuits or most breads anymore but when I did eat biscuits the best way I found to make them is to start with good flour, AP is what I prefer and do not use crisco or lard use butter. I feel way better though health wise when I gave up most carbs I still eat a little from time to time but it is low carb bread if I do.

A few from the last yr or so. When it’s a couple of us I use the small skillet for 3 biscuits. Otherwise it’s the 7 biscuit skillet I use to make cornbread. Been making these since I was in high school a long time ago.

Best biscuit advice: don’t over work the dough, handle as little as possible. Biscuits are a ‘quick’ bread not a yeast bread... developing the gluten is NOT what you are trying to do.. go easy on the dough and it will repay you with tender biscuits

I got to say there's a million more things to cook but not much better than homemade biscuits and some hot sausage and a few over medium eggs and good coffee !!!!
And y'all have some good looking ones on here .
