Yeah, I know there is a sticky.
I figured I would explain a little in my supper thread.
I saw someone post a while back that he and his wife had tried to make biscuits and given up.
That just bothers me.
If there's one thing a man should be able to do it's make a decent biscuit.
Now I don't claim to be the worlds best biscuit maker but I have sure watched more made than most people alive today.
I make them like my granny did. It is the easiest and best way in my opinion.
My mom called them drop biscuits, granny just called them biscuits.
Nothing fancy but I sure love em.
I have rolled out dough and all that hundreds of times but I never found one I liked as good as these.
Never had a recipe until tonight. I measured everything while I made these.
My best advice is buy a sack of flour and some real buttermilk, not that fat free junk.
Make a batch and if they don't turn out make another.
$10 is a cheap price to pay for learning.
2 cups self rising flour
2Tbs vegetable oil
Between 1 1/8 and 1 1/4 cup buttermilk
If you get them too thin they will spread out and be flat.
You want them to be like thick cake batter.
Put that in a bowl and stir it up good.
Let it sit 10 minutes or so.
Get a tablespoon and throw them on a greased pan.
Stick em on the middle oven rack at 375 until the bottoms brown some.
Move them to top rack and cut the low broil on until the tops are like you want them.
Take em out and stick some butter in them.
Easy peasy.
I hope this helps at least one person. I'll feel better.
