Like turn of the heat two minutes after the first boil..... lol

You are entering the “scone zone” when you start adding sugar to biscuits, imo. Once the dough starts holding together, instead of folding it, cut it in half and stack them. This will “help” the scone/biscuits rise straighter when baking. If you want a more softer crumb, replace the volume of buttermilk with one large egg. (Crack the egg into the cup then fill with buttermilk to the measurement mark) My useless $0.02

Does softer crumb mean more moist? I’m just trying to figure out if it’s worth doing the egg substitution. Thanks.

I dunno, scones for me are more about the crumble than the flake. Also biscuits are 100% allowed to be served sweet and still called biscuits. But Ty for the 2 cent tip!

In my country we don't really have this kind of baked good, so I always have to make mine, and as a butter lover I am so grateful for this invention! Also, extra points for making square biscuits and saving yourself the completely unnecessary step of making rounds and then re-rolling the waste.

I really enjoy how calm Eric is.

Here in the UK we'd put clotted cream and preserves on these. Looks fabulous! Thank you for sharing!

This recipe is so awesome! Best biscuits I’ve ever made. And I love how they give different measurements for the type of salt. I’ve ruined so many recipes before I learned that kosher and table salt measure so differently.

I make southern buttermilk biscuits like this. Not this much sugar (more like 1-2 TB). Also, I butter the biscuits right before baking and sprinkle flaky sea salt. Then the salt is definitely on there.

Id agree with you here!

One of those moments I'm so happy I subscribe to NYT Cooking! Good to see just how crumbly the mixture is until the bitter end. Or the butter end. Last week's random buttermilk purchase now makes perfect sense. Dalmatia Sour Cherry Spread and almond scented ricotta waiting just for these.

My husband and I just got back from Portland, and our hotel was right across from Tandem! We tried this same biscuit with cream cheese and pepper jelly, and it was heaven! The sesame banana bread with cream cheese, olive oil, and black pepper was also amazing 😍 Can't wait to recreate. Thank you!

I watched this video ages ago and have since been to Portland on a bachelorette party to visit the city for the first time. Was lucky enough to visit Tandem, stepped up and ordered while the rest of the crew was reading the menu and got the last biscuit with pepper jelly and cream cheese of the morning. Now another month later I'm rewatching this video and realizing that you've made it possible for me to share these biscuits with the rest of the bridesmaids down the line during the wedding weekend. A minor moment but so cool. Thanks Eric and Briana!!

Had the pleasure of breaking my fast two times at Tandem during my 5 day visit to Portland. It was one of the highlights of the trip. Top notch coffee and food.

Eric has a delightful personality. Will make these this weekend. Another great video from NYT cooking.

I really appreciate seeing the technique of actually making and folding the dough. Helps so I know what it should look/feel like. Thanks so much. the NYT recipe videos are awesome!

I am a 52 y/o Southern lady who JUST learned how to make buttermilk biscuits!! Thank you for sharing this recipe, I will definitely try it!!

You're Killin it Eric, love the recipes, love the personality, love the stories 👍

Wow these are nearly identical to Claire's Best Buttermilk Biscuits from Bon Appétit. It also happens to be one of the first recipes my daughter ever made by herself. She's now 14 and frequently makes them for Sunday brunch. Annie recommends brushing them w/butter and flaked salt before baking.

Thanks Eric! You are so unpretentious and a pleasure to watch that even I feel confident in trying out this recipe. Really appreciate your style!

Made these this morning. They were fantastic!

Just made them - amazing! Thank you

I’ve always been petrified to try and make biscuits but you make it look way to easy….So, I think so can…I think I can…. oh damn, I think I will! Thanks for the recipe and amazingly easy to follow instructions Wish me luck🤞

omg pepper jelly with cream cheese sounds delicious. I just assumed that was extra butter and strawberry preserves. I almost feel compelled to try making the biscuits just to try that jelly/cream cheese combo

I actually said, "Oh, yes," aloud at that moment. Then Eric echoed with something similar, lol. Also I'm both a Boston AND UCLA Bruin.

No buttermilk in Italy. I used kefir

…”Or do what I do and just leave it like this for like a week; I’m kind of messy”. At that moment I knew I’d found a kindred spirit! ❤😊

The biscuit is falling over because it was pinched/not trimmed on the edge. I usually put my dough in the fridge for 20 minutes so it won't compress/ get pinched on the edges when I cut them. It really helps. Not sure about the sweetness but the rest I like. Haven't made a scone but have made a sort of sweet biscuit/short bread and wasn't fond of it, but great job on the video!

Thank you for sharing your version of this recipe, Eric. It is wonderful. I know way too much about the history of this recipe as I follow ATK and NYtimes Food religiously. The recipe extends back to Kenji Alt-Lopez grating butter back at America's Test Kitchen in the early 2000's for a scone recipe. There arose the flaky biscuit recipe a few years ago with this same technique. The difference that I like with theirs is that they cut the edges off so that the biscuits rise straight up and do not fall over. Yum.

I cut my edges off with a sharp knife. I also use a sharp knife to cut the dough squares. They are delicious ever time !

Wow! It looks so great. I’ll give it a try.

THIS IS THE BEST RECIPE EVER, BUT IS YOU, THAT HAVE A NICE WAY TO SHOW HOW. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, FROM CANADA.

Confessional: I always put off cleaning after baking too. Great recipe Eric. Thanks for making it look soooo easy!

Eric is one of my favourite writers from the Cooking section of the NY Times. I've been a fan of his since his Food52 days.

THE WAY THEY OPEN UP AFTER COOKING IS THE MOST AMAZING WAY THEY LOOK DELICIOUS 👏👏👍

I make these sweet biscuits for strawberry shortcakes. Which I always seem to be making in the dead heat of summer (I live in the Mojave to boot! 🤪) So my additional tip is the freeze the butter BEFORE shredding it so that it stays cool from start to finish. Now I want biscuits! 😋 Thx!

My wonderful friend made me these - they are AMAZING!

❤❤❤ I love this recipe but I LOVE THE TSHIRT

The cream cheese and pepper jelly topping looks like the perfect topping.

Tonally awesome!!

That looks amazing!

Tandem is superb! Fond memories of walking over from Portland High :)

Look 👀 delicious 😋. Thank you Eric for the instructions and recipe on making the biscuits 🥰. I will definitely try this recipe.

Those look amazing!!!! I’m a huge biscuit fan. It’s not as easy as your making it look it takes time and repeat.

PS: Miss your skincare and makeup vids!

If you want to avoid the "accordion" effect of the biscuit layer rising on one side and not the other, you can cut the outside edges of the biscuit before cutting into 9. And it has to be with a SUPER sharp knife. Also try to minimize the amount of raw flour stuck between the folded layers. And honestly, you should rest the dough at least overnight. The best biscuits I can make are batched and frozen the week prior and baked to order after brushing with egg/milk. And yes, as a Texas biscuit purist, that's WAY too much sugar and not enough salt, but you do you boo.

Yes Nick well done ‼️. The pudding with the custard pon top, sell off 💞. When you make it again, spread out the coal on top, don’t put them all in the middle, the heat will penetrate more evenly and no burn spots. Yo‼️ mi naah play wid you and the pimento leaves on the grill, mi mouth a water. Excellent Job 👌🏿. 1luv💞

Love the Van Gogh T-shirt. And those scones look yummy 😘

As a girl living in the south, this is going to up my standing so much! Thanks Eric and Briana!

To get a more even rise in the oven, you might want to a letter instead of a book fold, at least for the last fold. Also, possibly trim the folded edge so that it's not bunched together, and the laminations can expand more evenly as it bakes.

I’m gluten intolerant, on a diet, and don’t even like biscuits - why am I watching this?? And, why the hell do I want to eat the entire batch??! They look DELICIOUS!!

This looks awesome! America’s Test Kitchen has a biscuit recipe with a similar technique. Best biscuits I’ve ever made.

Never will I ever make this but I sure enjoyed watching.

I do love when there's new Eric content! He does say, though, that one shouldn't use too fine a grater... but then uses a Microplane? I mean... that's pretty small.

Looks good yum yum 😋

Watched this video at 5am, jumped up to make them as they looked amazing and I had buttermilk I needed to get rid of. Delish, relatively easy but definitely more of a scone than a biscuit for me. A bit too sweet.

Thank you

Omg ever since I went to this one restaurant in San Francisco, Ive been looking for a buttermilk biscuit that resembles that one! Csnt wait to try

Love that David Sedaris tshirt, Eric!!

I love this

You did very good job 👏

i love tandem biscuits!!

More videos from Eric!!

I spent a week in the south and didn't have a single decent biscuit. Gonna make these asap!

When I saw the thumbnail of the video I said to myself "these look like Tandem biscuits." Yours look great! Will have to try.

Oohh…bet these would be great with macerated strawberries and whipped cream. Recipe is similar to a strawberry shortcake! Yum!

Glad I watched the video to see just how crumbly the mixture was to start with! P.S. Made your Gochujang Cookies. Those were so different, but good. I wasn't sure I liked them at first, but all of a sudden they were all gone. :)

I'm sorry to be like this but I NEED him

Yum!

Sharo and shining! Cudos to you!!

I like this guy... I like his vibe :-)

Tandem for the win!!

That was fun.

Dope shirt, Eric.

If you don't want them to 'accordion over' as you put it...pop the tray with them in the freezer for 10 mins and make sure the oven is already up to temp when you put them in. They will rise up straight and high in the oven then.

CRAZIEST THING EVER --- I was starting to do some recipe research to replicate the Tandem biscuit. So, I typed in "fluffiest biscuit" in google.....and this video came up. So weird. Because this Tandem biscuit is truly one of the best things I have ever eaten.

Now we know: biscuits dream of being croissants.

yay my crush back on my feed woooo

Yum!!!!

Do you have a pepper jelly recipe?

I need to know where you got that David Sedaris book cover shirt, Eric Kim.

This is basically a british scone

Can I make these with half the sugar and still get a great biscuit?

Look yummy. Must try. Thank you you and especially Brianna for sharing .

02:09 - can anyone tell what grater that is? Oxo?

Add some vanilla and it takes these delicious biscuits over the top yummy ..

"Eggs + Cream + Sugar" in a biscuit mix = Scone. Still look delicious though. And I would devour them in a sec.
