My favorite activity when I visited my grandmother was to watch her make buttermilk biscuits before each meal. The nimbleness of her fingers as she gently mixed the flour, buttermilk and lard in her wooden bowl was amazing. The end result was a pile of fluffy biscuits with a crisp outer crust. Truly Heaven on earth! In my futile attempts to replicate the process, I ended up with biscuits that resulted in a hard, hockey pucks that could keep the NHL amply supplied for generations. That being said, my father and I set out to create a mix that anyone could bake successfully... even me. Eureka!
Inspired by Grandma Julia, you can now enjoy the delicious buttermilk taste of fluffy biscuits finished with a crispy outer crust. Just add water. Now, for the secret... it's all in how you mix them. When you add the water, mix it just enough to moisten all the ingredients. Enjoy these southern drop biscuits with your favorite jam, jelly, molasses or my favorite... honey and butter. YUM!
DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 400°F. Add approximately 2/3 cup of water to mix and stir using as few strokes as possible to moisten dough. Drop portions of dough onto lightly greased baking pan. Place in oven and cook for 12 to 15 minutes or until done. Yield 10-12 biscuits. Mix can be divided in smaller servings, simply modify amount of water used.
Common Mistakes that result in flat, thin biscuits:
1. Adding too much water
2. Stirring (Mixing) ingredients vs. Folding Ingredients
Still taste good though!
RECIPES:
GARLIC CHEDDAR BISCUITS: If you want a real treat anytime of the day just add some shredded cheese to the mix and coat the tops with a little garlic butter before you bake them.
