Killer Biscuits

[dixie_belle]

Rightly or wrongly, I consider myself to be quite a good cook. There are many things I make that are out of this world good....unfortunately biscuits are NOT one of them. Over the years I have tried many recipes but, to date, the best biscuits to come out of my kitchen are the frozen Pillsbury ones. Sigh. So I am asking you cooks out there if you have any really good biscuit recipes. Please share with me. I'd love to make biscuits and have my family say "not THAT is a good biscuit".

Paula Deen's Cream Biscuits

These are the best (and easiest!) homemade biscuits you are ever going to eat and make. I guarantee it.

Disclaimer: I actually do not like Paula Deen - I'd really like to hit her over the head with a GRAMMAR book...HARD. However, I have liked some of her recipes over the years.

I totally agree, Paula is the best biscuit maker in the world! You could do yourself a HUGE favor and get one of her books. She has a smoked portabello mushroom soup that is to DIE for and it goes great wit her biscuits. Mmmmmm.....

My mother-in-law makes great ones. I know she uses self rising flour and buttermilk.

I know you ask about plain biscuits but for something different try these. Bisquick mix and add creamed corn to the desired consistency and bake. Substitute creamed corn for liquid, just the 2 ingredients.

What's the fat content in the biscuits from Paula "Throw In Another Cube of Butter" Dean? She's a culinary grim reaper with her high fat recipes.

Are you perhaps mixing/kneading the dough too much? That will ruin any biscuit recipe.

The best biscuits i've ever had are bisquick-the cheesy kind. They are better than Red Lobsters! I'm no help with homemade though, i'm sorry. I'm an awful cook unless it comes from a box.

Better Homes and Gardens has a good biscuit recipe. But you have to use butter and not shortening. You also have to make sure you add the right amount of salt. I make them all the time. I also do not press the dough out as thin as it says to and use a wide mouth jelly jar lid ring to cut them out. They get really tall and yummy.

I am kind of partial to the Bisquick kind... you just mix in milk and bake. You can add cheese, too. At any rate, now I'm craving them...

Something else you can do for a quick breakfast is mix up the bisquick ones but add about 2 tablespoons of sugar. Then mix some sugar, Cinnamon and butter. Like for cinnamon rolls. Keep your dough soft but pat out your dough and spread out you cinnamon mixture. Kind of fold your dough just so the cinnamon mixture has lines through the dough. You don't want it totally mixed into your dough. Then using the drop method make your biscuits. When they come out of the oven let them cool just a bit and spoon over the biscuits an icing (like for cinnamon rolls) you made while they were in the oven.

This way you have quick easy hot cinnamon biscuits in the morning in a very short time.
