Nice. Wouldn’t expect anything less from a Southerner; okay, Southern Ontario Southerner. Next time try using buttermilk instead of milk and let us know if you can tell a difference.

What IS it with Canadian grocery stores? You can't get chuck roast, they don't stock buttermilk.... Y'all are weird.

Here’s one of our faves:
Salt and Pepper Biscuits
Breads & Pastry
Servings: Makes 8
Ingredients:
¾ cup sour cream
4 tablespoons heavy cream, divided
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper plus more
2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for surface
6 tablespoons (¾ stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)
Salt-and-Pepper Butter (optional; click for recipe)
Directions:
A 2¼â€-diameter biscuit or cookie cutter
Preheat oven to 425°. Whisk sour cream and 3 Tbsp. heavy cream in a small bowl.
Pulse baking powder, kosher salt, sugar, ½ tsp. pepper, and 2 cups flour in a food processor until combined; add butter and pulse until the texture of coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining.
Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Using a spoon, mix in sour cream mixture, then gently knead a few times just until a shaggy dough comes together (a light hand is key to tender biscuits, so be careful not to overmix).
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface until ¾†thick. Using cutter, cut out biscuits, rerolling scraps as needed.
Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with remaining 1 Tbsp. heavy cream; sprinkle with sea salt and more pepper. Bake until golden brown on the tops and bottoms, 15–20 minutes. Serve warm with salt-and-pepper butter, if desired.
DO AHEAD: Dough can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Biscuits can be baked 2 hours ahead.

Ice cold butter, full-fat buttermilk, and Renwood Mills biscuit flour. After many years of trial and error (emphasis on error) this has become my formula for good biscuits.

Soft wheat (biscuit) flour such as White Lily or King Arthur self rising seems to be the key. I tried and failed miserably making biscuits with all purpose flour until I saw an article on the problem with northern biscuits. I got 5 lbs of King Arthur self rising and I'm a pro.Last edited by TheQuietOne; January 25, 2021, 04:46 PM.

TheQuietOne never thought of trying a different type of flour so butter milk and a self rising flour are next on the agenda

These are easy to make, really good. Use Tillamook cheese if you can find it. Put a piece of ham and a basted egg in between to really fancy them up.
Pimento Cheese Biscuits:
• 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1 tbsp. Baking Powder
• 1 1/2 tsp. Salt
• 1/8 tsp. Cayenne Pepper
• 1 1/2 oz. Pimentos - chopped
• 1/2 cup Sharp Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• 1 to 1 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
- Mix/Blend all ingredients together. Blend well but don’t over mix it.
- Knead slightly. Folding the dough over 3 or 4 times will create layers and help create flaky layers.
- Use sharp biscuit cutter (your preference of size). Bite-size biscuits are great for the holidays.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 14 minutes, rotate after 7 minutes.Last edited by Jspan; January 24, 2021, 08:55 PM.

If you place your biscuits right up next to each other before baking they will expand upward. If you space them out they will expand outward. Your picture suggests that you did the latter.Last edited by gcdmd; January 31, 2021, 10:38 AM.

I just twist the tube until it blows like a had grenade, lay out the remains, and bake. Actually, I use ATKs recipe with similar ingredients as others have posted.

Wow! Are you sure you want to go there? Three things we don't discuss in civil company: religion, politics and biscuit recipes. I caused a major schism in the family when I messed with Grandma's biscuit recipe - and the only change I made was from the lump method to the the fold method.
Anyway, here's the biscuit recipe that Moses brought down from Sinai and personally handed to my Grandma:
2 cups flour
1/3 cup lard (lard, butter, shortening, oil - whatever)
2/3 cup whole milk
2 tsp Baking powder

My mother in laws recipe. The very best biscuits I have eaten
2 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoon of salt
1/4 Teaspoon of Soda
6 Tablespoons of Butter (Use Criso!)
Cut in butter until mixture resembles course crumbs. Add 1 cup buttermilk all at once. (Note, I use a little more than a cup. I like the dough wet and then add flour to get consistency). Stir until blended. Turn out on lightly floured surface and knead lightly for a couple minutes. Roll out to 1/2" thickness. Place on cookie sheet. Prick with fork. Brush top with buttermilk. Bake in preheated 450 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
Makes about a dozen biscuits

If you're a Northerner and can't get lower protein flour such as White Lily for making biscuits, try substituting cake flour for about half of the AP flour called for in the recipe. That will make your biscuits more tender and rise a little higher. Another option is to substitute rice flour for about one fourth of the AP flour.
The following recipe is sized to feed 2-3 average appetites; double it for big appetites or more people. It's a drop biscuit, but you can convert it to a rolled and cut biscuit -- see note below.
Cheese Biscuits
Makes 6-7 biscuits
Ingredients
Biscuits
1/2 cup (2.2 oz) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (2.2 oz) cake flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/16 tsp (pinch) garlic powder
2 TBL cold butter
1/2 cup (2 oz) cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tsp dried herb blend OR 2 TBL minced fresh parsley
1/2 cup (4 oz) milk OR buttermilk OR sour milk
Topping
1 TBL melted butter
1/16 tsp (pinch) garlic powder
Directions
Biscuits
Measure the flours, buttermilk powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse once or twice to blend.
Cut butter into 4-6 pieces, scatter over the flour mixture. Pulse 3-4 times or until butter looks like coarse crumbs. Add the cheese and herb blend. Pulse 1-2 times to just combine. Dump the flour-cheese mixture into a bowl. Add milk. Stir until just combined.
Spray a baking sheet with cooking oil spray or cover with parchment paper. Use a large disher or two serving spoons to drop 6-7 generous scoops onto the sheet, spacing the scoops at least 2 inches apart.
Bake at 425 F for 10-12 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown around the edges and have light flecks of golden brown on top.
Topping
Melt the remaining butter and garlic powder, and brush over biscuits. Serve immediately.
Note
For rolled and cut biscuits, make same recipe except reduce milk to 1/3 cup (2.7 oz).Last edited by IowaGirl; January 25, 2021, 02:48 PM.

I figured this would be a good place to ask my biscuit question. I use the recipe from Joanna Gaines for buttermilk biscuits. They seem to come out ok but I'm not consistent with my results. The recipe says to mix everything to the right consistency but never says exactly what that is. Is that a little wet? Dry? Sticky? Help!

There are a couple of issues with biscuits that can make or break the outcome. I think the two main ones are overworking the dough and using the right amount of liquid. The moisture content of the flour can fluctuate due to storage conditions so if you try using X amount of liquid, it can be a little to much or too little. You just have to make biscuits often enough to develop a feel.
What's probably the most critical is the tendency to overwork the dough. Biscuits don't need to be kneaded. They are a type of quick bread. You aren't trying to develop gluten like in making bread. Once the ingredients are combined just turn the dough out on your work surface and pat it out to about 1/2 an inch. Then fold it over, pat it out two more times.

If you like to use buttermilk in baked goods but don't otherwise use much of the stuff, another option is to buy buttermilk powder. I keep mine in the freezer for the longest shelf life, but it is shelf stable at room temperature if you use it regularly. I add 1 TBL buttermilk powder for every 1/4 cup liquid in the recipe.
Other alternatives to buttermilk are kefir, plain yogurt, or soured milk (1 TBL / 15 mL vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to total 1 cup / 250 mL. Let stand 5 minutes before use).
Rolled and cut biscuits should have a "just barely not sticky" texture. You should knead biscuit dough very lightly -- just enough to get the dough to hang together, but not so much that you develop much gluten. That's also where using White Lily flour or some cake flour comes in handy, because either one will reduce the tendency toward gluten formation.
Also when you knead, use the bare minimum of extra flour so your biscuits stay moist and fluffy.
Drop biscuits are the same recipe as rolled and cut biscuits, except there's just enough extra liquid so the dough can be scooped up and dropped onto the baking sheet. Dropped is nice when time is short or your patience is thin, but rolled and cut is prettier.
