0:00
- Hot today, isn't it?
0:03
In fact, what do we have,
0:04
tornado warnings till like one o'clock?
0:08
- [Theresa] Tornado watch.
0:09
- Tornado watch. (claps)
0:11
That's a big difference between watch and warning.
0:16
So on this gloomy day, you know what would
0:20
And I bet it would you too.
0:24
A good old fluffy biscuit.
0:28
So I'm gonna go to the kitchen
0:30
and I'm gonna make creamy biscuits.
0:36
My grandsons could even make 'em with no problem.
0:41
And they would have so much fun being able
0:44
to bake their own biscuits.
0:45
Jack, every time he comes into my kitchen he says,
0:49
"Ginny, can we make some biscuits?"
0:52
Yes, a biscuit'll fix most anything, y'all.
0:56
- [Theresa] Cane syrup?
0:58
- Yes, with cane syrup.
1:00
All right, we're gonna start out with two cups
1:04
of self-rising flour,
1:09
one and a half cups of heavy cream
1:11
and about a tablespoon of sugar.
1:14
So all we're gonna do y'all, is just dump it all in the bowl
1:19
and I'm going to get me some self-rising flour over here
1:24
so I can knead it once I get it mixed up.
1:30
Get my biscuit cutter ready.
1:33
Alright, so now for a little sugar.
1:38
And I'm just gonna stir
1:43
those dry ingredients up.
1:47
And now I'm gonna add the cream.
2:03
(measuring cup clatters)
2:07
And your biscuit recipe
2:12
for your cream biscuits calls for a really hot oven.
2:17
We recommend preheating your oven to about 500,
2:19
but if you're gonna cook that high,
2:23
you'll have to keep your eyes on them.
2:27
Personally I'd rather cook 'em a little bit lower
2:29
and maybe a little bit longer.
2:33
Okay. See how easy that mixed up y'all?
2:43
Now I'm going to do my best
2:47
to get all this out to my board.
2:53
There we go. Perfect. Perfect.
3:00
We got a cast iron skillet
3:03
that'll hold these biscuits, Theresa you think?
3:06
- [Theresa] We could do,
3:08
- I mean, I know I got plenty,
3:09
but we can even use a whole pan.
3:12
- [Theresa] I was gonna say.
3:14
- But I do love my biscuits cooked in the iron skillet.
3:27
Going to just fold that in half.
3:30
- [Theresa] That's good.
3:31
- Oh, that's perfect. And you know what I'm gonna do?
3:36
- I'm going, I'm going.
3:39
- [Theresa] Get it going.
3:40
I'm gonna heat it up just a little bit. Shut up.
3:43
Don't shut up in a minute y'all.
3:46
So we going to just knead this five or six, seven times.
3:58
I think that's 'bout enough.
4:02
It's some pretty dough.
4:06
All right, and I'm probably gonna,
4:12
I don't even know if I'm gonna need a rolling pin.
4:16
Just mash this down to about a half an inch
4:21
and you can use any size cutter you want.
4:25
If you want a cathead biscuit, (laughs)
4:32
If you want a biscuit the size that you can
4:36
eat two of 'em, I'd use that size.
4:50
Okay, I think I'm going to use this size.
4:57
Alright, now I'm gonna put some butter on my skillet,
5:09
the browning and the flavor of it a little bit.
5:14
I'm going to spray it (spray whooshes)
5:23
Okie dokey. Here we go. Here we go, Smokey.
5:29
And when you're cutting your biscuits,
5:33
you want to make sure
5:40
that you get as close to each
5:44
of those biscuits that you've already cut
5:49
so you can use up all your dough.
5:51
And of course if I have a lot left over, then I will,
5:55
I will knead it up together again
6:05
'cause I'm not gonna let it go to waste.
6:10
I'm gonna cut that off.
6:13
And I'm hoping I can fit all these biscuits
6:20
And I like my biscuits touching each other.
6:27
Oh, I'm gonna flip that over (laughs)
6:31
'cause it had some butter to share.
6:33
I think I might flip 'em all over. Yes.
6:38
Great idea Paula. (laughs)
6:43
It'll be nice and buttery. Alright in the oven.
6:49
500. Don't take your eye off of it though.
6:53
(oven roaring) Alright y'all.
6:55
I think time is up on our biscuits.
6:57
Let's take a look at 'em. Where's my handle?
7:00
Oh, there it is. I don't wanna burn myself
7:04
'cause that was a hot oven.
7:06
All right, what y'all think?
7:11
What you think Betty Lou? (laugh)
7:13
Looks pretty good, doesn't it?
7:17
I like it. I like it a lot.
7:21
- [Eddie] Little shortcakes.
7:22
- I know. You know what?
7:24
And it would be delicious
7:27
to grill it and put sweetened strawberries
7:31
on top of it with a little scoop
7:33
of vanilla ice cream (laughs)
7:36
in case these are not fattening enough
7:38
like they are. (laughs)
7:47
Oh ouch. They're hot!
7:55
Let's see what they look like.
7:58
- [Eddie] They smell good.
7:58
- They do smell good. And look at the steam.
8:04
This butter's probably gonna melt pretty quick.
8:12
Pretty dadgum quick. All right.
8:15
Now what would you want on your biscuit?
8:17
Would you want syrup or jelly or jam?
8:23
What would you want on it Eddie?
8:25
- [Eddie] Oh me, I like it just with butter.
8:28
- [Paula] Okay. How about you Theresa?
8:30
- [Theresa] Cane syrup.
8:31
- Uh-huh, well we got some cane syrup in there
8:34
if you want to pull you a little bit over 'em.
8:47
Delicious, and look how quickly they cool off.
8:54
I mean, you saw the steam coming.
9:03
Mmm mmm good. (laughs)
9:07
Think I heard that on a commercial.
9:12
So like I said, don't ever say you can't make a biscuit
9:16
'cause I know you can.
9:19
Happy bakin', happy eating.
