It helps make others feel like they're not alone. Always a great video, keep up the amazing work!

You know I've always all that there was a move making rule, even though you read on the back of the directions, on store bought items, like cans of biscuits, and frozen pizzas, and it will stay like 425⁰,( which I do NOT purchase, well sometimes pizza, but I am a baker,and I make just about everything from scratch), and in cookbooks, but because, (I'm bi-racial, and the only biracial child in my family, and my father is the Caucasian, which is strictly taboo, like he would not have any part of me at all, but I do spend time with my grandmother, my european-american side, they're from Sicily originally oh, I wonder why is that, if it's the other way around it's okay, even if it's not at first, it turns out to be okay, but the other way around, like my father told me, I am not coming home from work someday, and going home to my wife, with sambal black head, and just throw him to my kids and save this is your brother, it doesn't work like that you can look up in Sicilian history that's never happened, you can not call my house anymore, you have caused enough trouble, when I looked him up, or track him down, cuz I really want to meet my father, and I was the only one, they did not care at all, about the race, so that means all my brothers and sisters are all African-American, and all your peeing American, isn't that crazy, I love it 😆, I just wish we knew each other), and I learn to cook for my grandmother, and she would bake everything on 350, no matter what it was, and her sisters, and other people from my African-American sigh, would either do the 350° rule, or the 400° rule, it was always one or the other, no matter what, and I stuck with that my entire life, but it was until I got older, and I noticed on my european-american side, is that they did not follow that rule, they did things, like the cookbook was say, or whatever someone telling you, and for some reason even when I would try, that just never worked out for me, since we're talking about biscuits, it seemed like to me when I will try to bake them that high of a temperature, babe what always need, especially because we make them so rich, more time to get done on the inside, and brown on the top, and less time to brown on the bottom oh, I also notice the big problem with them Rising, now we know to make a good biscuit rides, they'd have to touch each other, however when I would try and bake them on that high of a temperature, and they would rise extremely high, and because I'm not used to cooking or 425°, or 4:50, I would check on them often, and in me doing so, for instance I will be checking to see if the bottom would be really brown, but the tops were entirely white, so I'll be trying to see if they were done, and I needed to just turn on the broiler, but every time I took them out to try to check them, after the 15 minutes, it will make the rise go all the way back down, to the normal size of a biscuit, and still absolutely delicious, and Flaky as all get-out, but they just would not retain their correct size, unless I had them on 350, and would just peek at them, so they were completely Brown on top, and when I took them out, and let them cool off, they will be brown on the bottom, but not overly Brown, and very soft, so I always thought no matter what the direction said, that the 350-degree, or 400° rule was like set in stone, for everyone's oven, or anyone that it's, because like I am a cooker, I can throw down in the kitchen, and all day long on Thanksgiving, or Christmas, and usually the night before, the oven is on 350°, all day long and never changes, and that's for turkey, ham, stuffing or dressing, macaroni and cheese, my famous sweet potato pies, or pound cake, or biscuits or buttermilk cornbread for my dressing, like it did not matter, my oven always is on 350 for everything, absolutely I'm going to ask my grandmother for the first time ever, on maternal side, like why was that such a rule, and where did it come from, because I think is African-American rule, that comes from Southern Cooks, even though I'm from the Midwest, my grandmother was born in Chattanooga Tennessee, and her brothers and sisters were born in Ringgold Georgia, which is actually in Chattanooga Tennessee, but address to Georgia, it's so weird, it's kind of like Texarkana Arkansas, half of it is address to Arkansas, the other half is to Texas,🤷‍♂️

@scbr We're on the same page with both the grated cold (almost frozen) butter and square biscuits - less handling of the biscuit dough to keep them tender, and less waste of delicious fluffy, flaky biscuits.

Unfortunately, when my Mom & Mom in law passed, so did their beautiful big flaky biscuits! This recipe is sooooo close to what they both made. I make my own butter at home and I really believe that it makes a huge difference in flavor. This recipe is awesome! Theyre made every Sunday morning for all of my children & grandchildren to enjoy. They also freeze nicely! My daughter in law had me freezing a batch for ber to take home. She now has the recipe but she claims they dont taste as good as mine. I think thats an excuse to come over for Sunday brunch. I love them as much as the rest.of the family does. My family couldn't get enough of them so I had to make an extra batch!!

Try making the biscuits with White Lily flour. Especially if your mother and grandmother were from the South, because that's the secret ingredient for amazing biscuits. Also try using buttermilk, because most Southern biscuits I've enjoyed were also made with buttermilk. My grandmother was Mississippi born and Georgia raised, and I've never had better biscuits anywhere.

I know maybe it's unpopular and isn't efficient, but I appreciate the real-time, showing the full 4 folds or showing how the butter cuts into the flour. There are so many changes in texture and so much visual information in the "monotony" of baking, but it's so important to convey that visual information, especially for developing bakers! It's rough when so much of that get cut out in the editing process, but the best YT cooking/baking tutorials leave it in so you can really see the development of whatever is being prepared. Much appreciated!

I personal prefer tall biscuits and the trick is to bake them in a pan close together instead of on a cookie sheet❤I can't wait to try this recipe... they look delicious no matter the shape.

Great!!!! Southern girl here... Great recipe, except that buttermilk does make a softer, moister, less crumbly inside. I don't add sugar. In the South a biscuit is savory... NOT a sweet pastry or scone! There is a Southern home cook channel here where she just did a video comparing and testing different recipes and techniques. It is genius!!! And, she is right, those of us here in the South know that White Lilly Flour is different. NOTE: No need to handle this and begin mixing with messy hands???? Every home kitchen really needs a pastry cutter. 20 seconds with that miracle tool and you have the perfect pre-mix!!! It is my preference to use shortening instead of butter, and then put fresh unsalted butter which has just been hit with a good dash of salt on the hot biscuit when it is first opened. ABSOLUTE HEAVEN!!!!

@virginiadaneke2362

Side note, when pressing out, do so gently like patting a babies bottom to comfort it. Pressing too hard pushes out the air bubbles and makes them more dense and less fluffy. Great recipe!

I made these biscuits and the only thing I did differently After I baked them at 425 degrees for 15 minutes I set my stove in broiled for 5 minutes after I put butter on top and they came out perfect! A nice golden brown crust and they were delicious

I watch a lot of recipe videos on KZread and I think you make a lot of valid mini points while you ramble I love it . “You don’t want them to be too thin” if you never would’ve said that then I most definitely would’ve made them too thin

I’ve made many very delicious biscuits in my life, but I’ve got to say these were the best I’ve ever made! SO GOOD! Oh and to answer the square biscuit question it’s how I always make mine and they are so much easier without so much reworking or waste.and look beautiful

Easy recipe... cube and fry some chicken breast, along with diced onions, celery and carrots. Add a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup and half a can of water to the frying pan. Heat till simmering. Pour into casserole dish. Top with these (unbaked) biscuits and bake at 425 for 20 - 25 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown. Soooooo good! Make sure you have the biscuits ready to go on top of the hot mixture, to ensure they bake through. Don't add the biscuits to a cold base. You can also add peas or corn to the chicken base for more vegetables.

This is an excellent recipe and the butter crumbing by hand was very worth it - thank you for the tips on the type of butter to use too! They came out delicious and I really love this video :)

Never made these, as a Brit. These look fantastic. Was interested to see how similar they are to scones. As you mentioned cutting your biscuits I do that with my scones. Especially cheese scones. I roll out the mixture into a circle than cut into triangles (like a cheese). And of course add extra cheese on top. I add a teaspoon of English Mustard powder (Colmans) to the mixture as well (as I would to my cheese sauce).

@@TheInkPitOx yup. Biscuit comes from the Italian for twice baked. Also historically was the ship's biscuit aka hard tack that pre-dates the Revolutionary War. Which takes us around to the Dutch origin for the word yacht or jacht. Thanks to the Viking (and that's a whole 'nother story) appropriation of Frankish culture and the events of 1066, modern English is a combination of Latin, Romantic derived and the Old English Germanic words. As with most of Northern Europe such as Gammel Norsk and Old Dutch we have the same Flemish root. There is no surprise then, that there is both commonality and diversity from the tongue's mongrel history and much bedsides. Typically the posh words are French derived and the not so posh are Germanic. eg Beef and Cow. Move and Flit. Alleyway and Twitchel.....

Instead of cubing the butter, have you tried grating the butter? I've done so and it works perfectly. Just curious if you've tried this method. Thank you!

Biscuits were the first recipe I learned as a kid. Round cut with a glass.

What temperature would you recommend for this recipe? Cold oven or pre-heated?

I love your use of the bench scraper to cut and stack the dough. I had been folding, turning many times. Using the scraper is very clever. I bake square biscuits. With a sharp, floured knife, I cut off about 1/8 inch on each side (to keep the sides from being compressed from all the handling), then I cut into desired sizes without any sawing or twisting motion. Thanks for sharing the WHY of what you do. Very important, especially in baking.

They came out perfect 🤩 light, flaky and delicioso! ❤

They look really good. I never seen putting them in the freezer before baking but I will definitely try it 💕

Yes, thanks for that freezer tip. It’s just my husband and I so matching a whole batch would eat eaten but also sloggy with dough bellies.

John, when you first started the Preppy Kitchen KZread channel, did you think it would be this grand?

I used this recipe for biscuits one morning. Thank you so much. My house love this so much. The folding and stacking was my favorite part.

Just made these and they were the BEST! Super easy to make as well! Thank you for taking the time!

U always always ALWAYS make me wanna bake...lol. Love ur recipes!

I love biscuits, especially buttermilk biscuits. I do not put sugar, but add baking soda and buttermilk instead of regular milk. I also fold my dough over several times to add those flaky layers. I will eat biscuits in any shape as long as they are good. Your 1st batch tasted great I am sure. It’s like when I make homemade flour tortillas, my husband doesn’t care if they are shaped like a Texas road map as long as they taste good like his mother’s!! 😂😂

Thank you for mentioning that you use buttermilk instead of regular milk! I was looking to see if I could substitute buttermilk and went to the comments! Tanks again!🤗

I’ve tried other versions before with less success. These were the easiest and they turned out perfect. Thanks for the video. I really enjoy watching you.

Hahaha, charming, but I loved the end, where you show the mini mistake. Now that's real cooking. 🤣 Lol it, great job.

This recipe looks so yummy 🤤 John, do you have a recipe for dinner rolls? With Thanksgiving coming up I want to make dinner rolls instead of getting store bought rolls.

Thank you so much for your transparency!! I’m definitely trying these! 👍

Hey John, thank you for sharing this recipe! I've been trying to perfect my biscuit recipe and this seems to do the trick. I'll definitely try the stacking method as supposed to folding like how I usually do and also to freeze it beforehand. Just a small question and not intending to degrade, why didn't you glaze the top with egg wash (or just the yolk) or milk before popping it into the oven for extra shine? Once again, thank you!

Oh no! No egg wash on biscuits. Instead, baste them with some honey butter or just melted butter when they come out of the oven. You can baste before you bake, but that messes with browning.

Wow! Can't wait to try this. Those toppled biscuits are PERFECT for biscuits & gravy, don't ya know? 😋 My last attempt yielded flat hockey pucks... literally, but now I am armed with knowledge. Yay! Do you have a video recipe for pumpkin scones ?

My biscuits ended up being hockey pucks also that’s why I was searching KZread for a better recipe. Hope this works for me

I absolutely love all your recipes and I follow you on all your baking

I grate VERY cold butter and put bowl in the freezer until I'm ready to mix into flour mixture. Works very well for me. I extra love your cooking videos!

Love the video! Just out of curiosity, why did you use regular milk instead of buttermilk? I don’t actually know too much of what buttermilk does but every southern biscuit recipe I’ve seen has used buttermilk. Huge fan!

We use buttermilk for the taste. I always use a white winter wheat self rising flour that already has the baking powder and salt in it. If you use this recipe you will likely need more buttermilk if it's made from whole milk. Been making biscuits for a really long time here in Georgia.

It’s amazing to me how the humble biscuit I grew up on has gained so much “how-to” attention. We never worried about cold ingredients or mile--high lift, we just wanted it hot with something in the middle or to sop our gravy. They were a way to survive, not a show of cooking skill. That said, when I make them I let them touch in the pan so they rise up against each other and I use self-rising flour. I also use a dark pan so they will be crunchy on the bottom and top. I prefer round only because it’s what I’m used to. One last thing, I’ve found if there’s too much baking soda or baking powder it turns the biscuits yellow…

Thank you ! They came out beautiful!

Amazed at how well these turned out! My first time making biscuits

As a non-American, what do you eat this with? And when it comes to shape, square seems more practical for dipping. Also, is there a difference between a biscuit and a scone?

We usually do bacon ham or sausage egg and cheese. U can also do butter and jam and some people make sausage gravy and pour it over the top.

American biscuits have a different texture from British scones, i would describe them as more dry and crispy, and they are not as sweet as scones.
