hey y'all come on into the kitchen
0:02
because come fix to make y'all some
0:04
biscuits and I hear a lot of people say
0:11
I can't make a biscuit to save my soul
0:14
well let me tell you if you can't make a
0:16
biscuit this is the way to go we worked
0:21
on this formula for biscuits and they
0:24
are incredible in fact I'm gonna be
0:27
honest I don't make biscuits like this
0:30
anymore
0:30
I use my biscuit mix because it's just
0:35
no fail all you have to do is add
0:36
buttermilk and you aren't there but for
0:40
people that don't have access to that
0:42
I'm gonna show you what I think is a
0:45
good biscuit and I've starting y'all
0:49
with 4 cups of flour and 1 cup 1 cup of
0:57
real cold in fact you want to put this
1:00
in the freezer after you cut it up to
1:03
chill it tongue so that it will just cut
1:08
through that flour and you really need a
1:11
pastry cutter for this I mean you can
1:13
use a couple of forks but I think this
1:17
is just a little bit easier and it's
1:21
good exercise yo this arms gonna be real
1:24
strong when this is over this one's
1:27
gonna be just Fanning arbuckle over here
1:30
all right so you want this to get like
1:34
like a pea like small peak time right
1:41
and I am going to have to stop him
1:46
get that butter out of there and y'all
1:56
see I've got a this is an old tablecloth
1:59
that I don't use anymore on a table it's
2:05
strictly for my pie crust my biscuits
2:09
and things like that and I was just
2:12
telling Teresa Eddie when I was
2:15
spreading it out I said you know I can't
2:17
I don't know why I do this but it's like
2:20
monkey see monkey do this is what I saw
2:23
the women in my family doing putting
2:26
down an old tablecloth or something to
2:31
make their biscuits up so monkey see
2:34
monkey busy that's why I'm doing it and
2:36
it will keep you from messing up your
2:39
counters but guess what you don't have
2:43
to watch the type of quality so what
2:46
which is worse cleaned up your counter
2:48
happened don't go out and shake a
2:51
tablecloth out and then wash it okay so
2:56
here we go like I said I started with 4
2:58
cups of flour y'all and this is gonna
3:03
take a minute well I feel the muscles
3:08
just growing in the arm all right that
3:17
butter was nice and cold Theresa
3:23
yay any time you want to jump in make a
3:27
[Laughter]
3:31
your Oh Teresa is a great prepper I'm
3:38
glad to stop build some muscles in this
3:40
arm y'all see when I use my biscuit mix
3:50
I don't have to do all this everything's
3:53
already done up for me and our biscuits
3:59
that you have in our restaurants this
4:01
this is what they're made from because
4:05
like I said it is just full proof
4:09
because it sort of got you shortening
4:12
and cutting it everything you're gonna
4:14
need just accept the buttermilk and you
4:22
know to me
4:24
buttermilk gives your biscuits at Wayne
4:28
and I just like that twang in my
4:33
biscuits alright so yeah this is coming
4:37
along okay y'all that took a few minutes
4:41
to cut that ice-cold butter into that
4:43
flour so I've got it done you know it's
4:46
like pretty good now I'm gonna add some
4:49
sugar just a little sugar and that gives
4:56
them a nice little taste
4:58
and now salt sweet and salty that's
5:03
great
5:07
okay all right now so we got that mixed
5:12
up good
5:13
I don't remember my grandma hires using
5:18
her own dough board I mean dough Bowl
5:22
but now grandma palm she so funny
5:27
she she said she just couldn't make a
5:30
biscuit what just wanting a bread maker
5:34
but it's funny when she hit like maybe
5:38
82 she started baking bread and it
5:42
wasn't out of this world you know it was
5:45
like she wasn't gonna let that get her
5:49
because she could do anything in the
5:51
kitchen
5:52
so she meant she was gonna conquer that
5:54
bread baking it's awesome listen she met
5:57
a gobo it's the wooden bowls that they
6:04
kept in there
6:07
there are pie safe oh I need stay in a
6:12
drawer and they just pull out the dough
6:14
and put the flour you know get it done
6:17
alright so we've got that done now I'm
6:21
just gonna slowly add my buttermilk
6:27
and kind of just work it around and I
6:33
think I'm using like a cup and a half a
6:36
buttermilk
6:37
y'all for them now see I remember when
6:43
grandma hires made her biscuits she
6:46
didn't use a spoon she did it with her
6:48
hands oh I can see that so good so let's
6:56
try the head so you just start pulling
7:01
your flour in and you don't want to
7:07
overwork your dough because it will make
7:13
your biscuits really tough so you want
7:17
to get her done and kneed her a few
7:22
times and then let that be yet okay
7:28
that's the last of the butter melt let's
7:30
go have to do
7:45
but you know after grandma start grandma
7:49
would make yeast yeast breads loaf
7:52
breads and God love her I don't think
7:56
she ever conquered a biscuit I think
8:00
that was me know one thing but I was in
8:03
her house one day and I can't remember
8:07
what she was fixing to make I think
8:11
maybe a blackberry cobbler but she got
8:15
out I can a biscuits
8:18
and she wrapped it I can see her right
8:21
now wrapping that rolling biscuits on
8:26
the counter and she turned around looked
8:28
at me and she said Paula and I was so
8:32
damn glad when they came up with these
8:34
canned biscuits yeah so they they were
8:41
they were hard for her all right so I'm
8:45
getting closer to moving my dough onto
8:50
my towel so I'm just gonna put some
8:56
flour out here
9:00
and I'm gonna finish kneading this right
9:08
here get it all together
9:33
here we go
9:41
push that down
9:56
okey-dokey
10:02
don't take my rolling pin and just rub
10:06
it to get a little flour and then I'm
10:10
gonna just roll these out and this
10:14
depends on what kind of biscuits you
10:21
want down south we make a lot of what we
10:24
call can't head biscuits and what we
10:28
mean by that is the size of a cat's head
10:33
when I see those chunks of butter in
10:36
there all right so I think owe it to my
10:40
cat heads let's go one down from a cat
10:44
head and I'm gonna get that into my
10:47
flour and I've prepared a pan right here
10:53
with
11:00
a light spray I hope these are gonna be
11:06
good and like I said it's it's been a
11:08
minute since I've made a homemade
11:11
biscuit it's where is it sure my
11:18
goodness Theresa said it's one of the
11:20
number one most requested and I don't
11:25
know why but some people do they just
11:27
have a hard time with it now I'm putting
11:30
my scraps aside and I'm gonna reroll
11:38
that and use it I'm not gonna waste any
11:40
and you can see my biscuits are gonna be
11:44
pretty pretty tall you know I could have
11:49
rolled them out a little bit more and
11:53
made them thinner but since I'm doing
11:57
this for y'all today I wanted to make
12:01
you a great big fat biscuit
12:05
all right that's our scraps
12:12
all right we've got the oven preheating
12:15
back here so I'm going to
12:25
get these scraps and work these in one
12:29
more time don't want them to get tough
12:30
but I don't want to waste on either so
12:46
oh I love seeing that as chunks of
12:48
butter in there all right I think get
12:52
one more kids
13:04
okay there we go
13:07
so it made two four six eight ten eleven
13:11
biscuits so somebody's only gonna get
13:14
one but there's some big that'll be
13:18

13:18
I think that'll fill you up alright so
13:20
we are gonna cook these we got our oven
13:26
set at 425 I couldn't remember the
13:28
temperature so 425 and we can't bake it
13:31
for maybe 20 minutes you know it just
13:35
watch them just watch watch your
13:37
biscuits and you'll notice that now some
13:41
people like their biscuits more far
13:45
apart but I like mine close together
13:54
because I love that soft I just love
14:00
that soft edges that you get alright now
14:06
this is what grandma Harris did I don't
14:08
know why but I do it she would take her
14:12
knuckles and just press down lightly on
14:17
the top of her biscuits just like that
14:24
and you know when you see that you know
14:27
