    My mother came back from visiting my cousin and started making biscuits with sharp cheddar, bacon, and chives. Oh, my goodness. They're heavenly. We just make a regular biscuit recipe, throw in a handful of shredded cheddar, chop the bacon after it's crispy, and cut the chives with scissors. The amounts for the cheese, bacon, and chives are just whatever fits when you fold them in. We love them!!

You have to put just a small amount of grease or vegetable oil on top of each to help them brown. Really good with bacon grease on top. She would also only use Hudson Cream flour.

    Thank you for this! It reminds me of my Mamaw’s cat head biscuits. She kept a bowl of flour and would make each batch of biscuits in a little well in that bowl. She didn’t roll them out, she’d just ‘pinch’ them off and put them on the cookie sheet. She’d put them close together so that they ended up being square, and then turn them out onto the plate. They were amazing! Golden brown on the outside and light and fluffy inside! We’d break one up in pieces and smother it with sausage gravy. Like you said, I could never make them like she did. (Although we can’t get the right flour in WI!)

    Even though I'm a northerner born and bred, I have always loved biscuits. I've tried all kinds of recipes and techniques, but lately I've come up with a new way to make them. Instead of butter or shortening, I use 2 oz. grated cheddar cheese, 1 cup self-rising flour, and enough milk (sometimes plain yogurt) to form the dough. I used to pat them and use a biscuit cutter but pulling pieces and patting them into rounds works just fine. I bake them in cast iron (ungreased) at 450 F until golden brown. They are surprisingly delicious. My cast iron is well-seasoned of course. Cast iron is another Southern tradition I came to later in life but most everything I cook is in cast iron.

    I learned my drop biscuit recipe that I eat with tomato gravy from my Mom and my light, fluffy buttermilk biscuit technique from my Grandma. It's two completely different animals, no doubt. Grandma would only knead hers 3, maybe 4 times. Any more than that and they're paper weights. After kneading she gently formed a ball and pinched each biscuit off in a peculiar way using only her thumb and index finger in an " OK " sign. I can get close, but they are still not Grandmas biscuits. She had more than 65 years of practice to my 20.

    When I was in 10th grade, my family had a foreign exchange student stay with us from Argentina. One of the recipes she made a lot was empanadas, a meat pie. I fell in love with those! Watching you make your hand pies reminded me of watching Marta make those empanadas the very first time. The smelled so good good baking, and they melted in my mouth when done. I have loved them ever since. Oh! Did I already say that?!!Your chocolate pie looks easy, and I will give that a try. Since you first mentioned your grandmother’s cream biscuits, I have been thinking about them. They look so good. I like my biscuit a little crunchy on the bottom, so I love to grease my pan, too. I like the easiness of your cheese and garlic biscuits. I have watched many older women make biscuits the way you describe your mom doing it - eyeing the ingredients without measuring, and then mixing them with their fingers. That is an art in itself - mixing the dough with their fingers! And to be able to not measure ingredients and the food turns out delicious was always amazing to me when I first seriously began learning to cook. I thought I would never be able to do that. And now, so many things I make is second nature. I do love trying new recipes, and the first time I make something new to me, I still tend to go exactly by the recipe. I still have not tried chocolate gravy - and I love chocolate! Thank you for giving us Ginger’s chocolate “syrup” gravy recipe in the description! I will definitely have to try it now! Donna. : )

    My Mamaw and mom made them the same. They had a bowl with flour in it. They would make a hole in the middle of the flour, put lard in the hole, put cream and squash with her hands. Then take a little flour and fold in. Then break pieces off when stiff enough and roll in their palm and pat the top down.

Richards Aunt Rose made the best biscuits, she would pour flour in a bowl, make a dent in the middle, add lard- baking powder- salt and can milk, mix it with her hand, squeeze enough dough between thumb and first finger and make the prettest biscuits. My mom when making baking powder biscuits, made plain drop biscuits. Mostly mom made yeast biscuits or loaf bread. I like my memory of my first baking powder biscuits, they were sooo hard a cup of hot coffee wouldn't soften them up. Good laugh. God Bless. Jean

    Tried the biscuits and everyone loved them. Reminds me of mom's 100%. We experimented with all sorts of recipes with loads of butter, buttermilk, cream, shortening, you name it but yours, which is apparently like mom's, we found to be the best! I believe in part because its what I'd call a clean, tasty biscuit. White, soft, fluffy, and without all the excessive fats & oily fingers. Of course that stuff has its place and is tasty but not necessary in biscuits. Not only are these good they are better for you. At least compared to the high ranked recipes we've tried. Yeah, we're sticking to yours. Keep up the great entertainment. Hope your family has fun doing the videos and be rewarding. Editing can be a handful. You do such a good job A to Z

    What memories! I remember my grandmother and my mother would make their biscuits (and dumplings) with their hands in the flour tray working the flour into a well in the middle to get that perfect consistency. I’ve never had dumplings better than my mother’s! And we’ve never rolled out and cut our biscuits, we’ve always rolled them by hand. We always had to make that baby biscuit if there were little ones around. Btw, my grandmother’s flour tray was carved from a tree and given as a gift from my grandad when they were young. How sweet! 😍♥️♥️

Folding the dough over a couple slices of pepperoni. She had a actual yeast dough pepperoni roll too. She had several quick versions of several things. I remember her making quick stuff when lots of family came to visit. Longer versions when there were smaller groups to feed.

I make my fruit filling, and pour it hot into a 9" x 13" baking dish. I make up half of my biscuit recipe, adding a little extra liquid, and some sugar and cinnamon. Using my smallest scoop, i drop dough over top of hot fruit filling, make an indentation on the top of each, add a dot of butter, and sprinkle each with sugar, and cinnamon. Bake at 350°F, for 30 to 35 minutes till golden brown.
