    OMGoodness! A biscuit recipe with no wasteful words! Nicole doesn't even subject us desperate reader's in need of a good biscuit recipe, to sit through a bunch of boring I, me, my baking stories, nor does she force us to listen to her past biscuit failures, no ideas that didn't work for her or thought paths that bombed, will you find in this video! Every word has a purpose. Just 6 masterful ingredients. Every step and every tip is explained and every WHY is answered. When I put a plate of these biscuits on the table...and everybody knew I made them....I was swelled up with pride! Thanks, Nicole! I like your style! I'll never buy Grands or Pillsbury EVER again! Canned biscuits? Those are soo last week!

    I’ve also seen a chef dust the grayer with flour after the first few strokes of graying the butter. Keep the paper on the stick at the very end so your fingers don’t touch the butter while you grate. And you can roll the stick in flour for easier grating.

These were the best biscuits I have ever made. I followed you exactly and the bread flour put these biscuits over the top. You gave me the tips I needed thank you very much, I have made the best biscuits and when I gave one to my boyfriend he couldn’t believe it thank you again I appreciate you!! Patty Houston Texas

    @Wild Andes: NO! That is NOT Chef John's recipe (which she mentions at the beginning)! The REAL recipe calls for 7 tablespoons of butter (although 8 would be just fine), and far more importantly ONLY 3/4 cup of buttermilk! You'll have something closer to thick batter with a cup of buttermilk. Try adding a teaspoon (or even a tablespoon) of sugar to the recipe.

What I mostly like about your video is that your straight to the point and isn't very long. I've seen videos that are 13 to 17 minutes long on making biscuits? Why? Lol... Awesome job! 👏 👍

    My mother and grandmother made the best biscuits. Both being from Alabama. I'm not sure how they did it but they would put flour, salt and I guess baking powder in a bowl. Make a 'well' in the center and using their hands would form a biscuit. So good! The biscuits were soft, tender, flaky and so good.

    I’m very thankful that hubby found this recipe and YES, you explained it so very nicely! This is not at all a complaint as ours came out overall deliciously awesome and is just a heads up to anyone so they don’t experience near the same issues-I just had to do a few different things. We’re here in Texas and not sure if today’s humidity played a part here but after keeping the shredded butter in the freezer (for around 15 minutes), it was not at all very crumbly but I just didn’t blend it too much. Also, the dough was quite sticky so next time I won’t be as skimpy on the flour. I did not have buttermilk but only powdered nonfat skim milk but added the 1 Tbsp of white vinegar that sat for quite sometime and I didn’t notice it to curdle, but followed the advice of many with those 2 ingredients. I also ended up baking them a bit longer than 15 minutes (not sure if because of the buttermilk substitute, etc) as they were not yet formed by 15 minutes. This is, however, by far the best biscuit recipe I’ve ever found and now I can also work from experience, thank you Nicole! 😊

We just found out my husband has parkinson's and I may have fibromyalgia. SO.... of course the best diets for these diseases is vegan vegetarian. It's not too hard to give up meat, but one graduation at a time. Love my dairy! For us, we have to cut down for sure on that too. If you could show how to make different vegetarian meals it would help immensely AND I guarantee you will get more likes and subscribers. And also guaranteeing that you & the pack will be eating healthier,too!😘
