- [White Lily recipe, makes 12]
Ingredients
2 cups White Lily Enriched Unbleached Self-Rising Flour1/4 cup butter or shortening3/4 cup buttermilk or milk2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F. Place flour in a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter or fork, work butter or shortening into flour until crumbs are the size of peas. Add buttermilk, stir with a fork just until flour is moistened. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently roll dough with a floured rolling pin until 1 inch thick. Cut out biscuits using a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a cup. Place biscuits on a baking sheet where the edges touch. Reform the scrap dough to make additional biscuits. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven. Brush tops with butter and enjoy.
[Grandma Johnson's way, makes ~20]
Ingredients (Remember--"Just eyeball it!"):
• 5.5ish cups of White Lily self-rising flour
• 3/4ish of a cup of Crisco shortening
• 2.5ish cups of buttermilk
• Butter (to grease the pan and rub on the cooked biscuits)
Instructions:
• Grease a baking sheet with butter & preheat oven to 470°
• Measure and sift the flour into large bowl #1
• Measure out 31 heaping spoonfuls of flour from bowl #1 and place into large bowl #2
• Make a 'well' in the flour left in bowl #1
• Add shortening to bowl #2
• Use your hands to incorporate the shortening into the flour until it's "like a pea shape"
• Add 1 cup buttermilk to bowl #2 and mix -- do NOT overmix!
• Add more buttermilk (by the 1/4 or 1/2 cup) and continue mixing
• At this point, the dough will be very wet!
• Add the dough to the 'well' in bowl #1
• Start adding some of the dry flour to the dough, all the way around the bowl, rolling the dough to incorporate some of the dry flour into the dough until the dough isn't very sticky to the touch. "Just work your pan. Don't get too much flour. Get enough to make 'em soft... and that's it!"
• Go clean your hands. :)
• Put some of the dry flour onto your (clean) hands
• Grab a ball of dough off of the side of the dough mound, roll it into a ball, place it in the corner of the greased baking sheet and press it with your knuckles
• Repeat until you've filled your baking sheet (Grandma made 21 biscuits in this video)
• Bake 20 minutes. (Check after 15 minutes!!!)
• Remove your biscuits from the oven.
• Take your stick of butter and rub it alllllll over the tops of the biscuits
• Flip the biscuits over. Rub the butter allllll over the bottoms!!
• Flip the biscuits upright
• Cut the biscuits open and insert butter or cheddar cheese into them!
• Share your biscuits with family and friends. :)

I’d swear to you...I’m a Black woman...and if I close my eyes I’d swear I’m listening to my grandmother in her kitchen in Alabama....I’m so serious...there is more that binds us than separates us....
True more that binds us universally
It’s called a regional accent
Jesus Loves You
So sweet!
😂!! I’m from Augusta, Ga and she sounds exactly like my aunt Lila- even saying “deddy” 🤣🤣
I wish more more older people would upload videos like this and pass on their knowledge
Thank you for this video!!! I headed out today and bought White Lily self-rising flour, buttermilk & Crisco. Grandma Johnson encouraged me to try. Please tell her thank you and give us more cooking videos & monetize if you haven't.
Leander Land me too, but it’s not up to them to make the videos, it’s up to us, the younger people with the video skills and cell phones. We need to preserve life skills and know how. This corona virus and economic collapse will make those depression era survival skills more valuable today than in the past.
Maybe we use the word Seniors instead of old ppl lol
Ok, my biscuits turned out good for the 1st time in my life. It's hard to believe. I always put in too little Crisco. I added extra "for good measure" and they turned out good!
yes
“Daddy could make biscuits like a woman”. I ❤️ it!
You know this biscuits are good when the baker has a southern accent and a passion for a biscuit
I’m telling you, ANYTHING that comes outta that off white tubberware bowl from the 60’s is going to be LIFE!!! ❤️❤️❤️
LaToya C. Ashley - Right?! You said it!🥰
You ain’t lying, sister!! 😍
THIS!
Amen!!
Double amen to that!!!!
This is the true meaning of being at Grandmama and Grandpapa's house. I took so much more from this video than how to make biscuits. Thank you for allowing me to go back in this time machine and be a kid again at my Grandma and Grandpa's house. I smiled and teared up every time those children ran through that kitchen. Thank you so much for this video.
Blessings bestowed onto you and your important family ... as perhaps your core family?
It's a shame women have lost the art of cooking and taking care of a family
@@nunyadambidnis2274 yea and those who do are shamed by other women :(
@@nunyadambidnis2274...That's so true!👏🏽👏🏽
@jacquolyn Rudd...Yes!! I got chills reading your comment, I agree!👏🏽👏🏽 It warmed my Heart watching the kids running around the kitchen while grandma was making biscuits. This was a Great video! Brought back so many memories of being in the kitchen with my grandparents.
Love this video. All the chatter in the background and the children playing, makes you feel like you’re with family and friends. Thank you
That look in her eyes when she said she would do anything for her children...went right to my heart...she so clearly and sincerely meant it. Nothing like a mother's love.
Amen!!! ❤
How much flour to how much crisco
@@tinamcdowell1704 I didn't get the answer yet
Children and Grands...please show Mama or Grandma your love.
Ellen, look under..."MORE" on the video.😊
Lol ... "Daddy could make biscuits like a woman" ... 😂🤣😂
Bless her sweet heart!
What a beautiful Gramma......
My daddy can cook good too.
@@donnachard8413 we humans have a tendency to expect, seek out the worst in everything...I'm a black woman and I just enjoyed looking at this granny cook😍 i felt as though she was my granny, and the warmth in that kitchen, she's sweet, especially when she said she'd do anything for her kids (with a smile on her face lol)😂😂😂. How i wished the world didn't strive on the separation of colour, creed, race for shame...
She tickled me when she said her Daddy could make biscuits better than a woman...cause my Daddy's biscuits were better than my Momma's. ..they are both gone now. .🕙 is short & precious. .Enjoy! God bless
Just the sweetest thing 😂
“Daddy could make biscuits like a woman” 😄 I to know her for real ❤️
LOVED that😊
I’m 74 and watching this lady make biscuits is like watching my mama. The sifter brought back memories.
This is so sweet. The elderly are so needed in our families. They are the heart of a home ❤. Really reminds me of what it feels like to have family around.
😬I loved this video: the kids being noisy and running through the kitchen (and dad saying stop running!) and grandma being oblivious to it all, just doing her excellent cooking....like a mama hen with her chicks all around....The best shot of family life there is!
Donna Wojdacz yes that’s just what I was thinking she’s got a really lovely close family all around her she’ll never be lonely 👨👨👦👦😍
Too noisy. Couldn’t hear half of what was said!
bobbiebrune This is the second video I watched this morning where there was screaming children and babies in the background. To each their own but it’s like listening to someone scratching their nails down a chalkboard to me. It’s why I prefer dogs. I like children in theory, once they’re around ten or eleven , or about to leave for college.
I stayed for all of that. I love this entire scene. 😍😍
Kids were all playing well together as kids who are raised well are wont to do. Yes, they're noisy - because they aren't spoiled millennials with their noses stuck in some dang electronic game or their mobile phone. Give me this over much of what I see in the world today ANY DAY and I'm happy.
I love everything about this video. It sounds like home. It made me get teary-eyed and think about my grandmother as I sat in her kitchen, watching her cook, and give lessons. Thanks for sharing this.
😇🙏What a beautiful memory you have ,about your Grandmother!🌷
Exactly. Hearing everyone talk in the background really makes it feel like your there from a holiday and just hanging out with Grandma 😣🙂
Beauty Done My Way I agree with you 100%
I 100% agree with you , I started watching for the recipe and finished in tears , grateful that this way of life is not extinct yet.
Made me teary-eyed too. I thought about my own grandma she used a similar method.
I love that grandpa is helping is helping in the kitchen. I didn't plan on watching the entire video but couldn't stop. It brought back so many memories from my Mississippi granny. Loved it
Same here! I thought I wouldn't watch the whole thing, but I couldn't stop watching it. It gave me such a warm happy feeling. I felt like I was there, watching her in person.
You know it is home when the children are traveling thru the kitchen.
As a grandma I know she’s so happy to teach you her way. You made her day. ❤️
By by gt
Gotta love Gramma's just passing it along! I miss my Gramma.
Amen !!!
Made her feel like Paula Deen 👏
The way she rolls those biscuits and talk and look away at the same time?? That’s nothing but love mixed with real skill
I love how she just talks and doesn’t even need to look at what her hands are doing. She’s done it so much it’s just natural movements to her. Bless her heart!
Just like my mother
That is what caught my 👁 the very first time I looked at it. I didn’t move to another vid. I knew this was the one. 😊😊😊
100%, laboratory calibrated eyes.
The love in that home is just pouring out the windows. What a beautiful family. God bless us loving families out there passing on tradition, joy, and love for the Lord. Great video.
I THANK GOD EVERY DAY THAT I AM A SOUTHERNER! This, folks, is an authentic view of the true South. The language, the accent, the LOVE, and the glorious food are what make us special.
This video will be something your family treasures as years go by. Very impressed with how patient the adults were with the kids. God bless the hands that made those biscuits.
Omg! Yes! If you’re lucky enough for your Granny to still be with you, take videos like this! This literally made me cry realizing I don’t have one video of mine.
We are from southeast Alabama.
@@serenagilbertson Yeah we need more videos like this. My mom used to make lard biscuits my dad couldn't get enough of them that's for sure
As soon as I heard how she pronounced “Flaor” I trusted her cooking lol. I love her accent and the whole environment. It is simultaneously chaotic and peaceful. Thanks for sharing.
I felt the same. I just stopped and watched. “Flaor”
She really sounds a lot lol me my Grandma , she was from Savanna Georgia, and she had a very Savannah accent, I miss her a lot her house was just like this
I miss the warmth of having a loving granny, hustle bustle of cooking and house filled with kids and adults. Something I never had
I have watched this video a thousand times. There is just something so delightful about this women. I wish there was more cooking videos from her. She’d be a TH-cam hit!!
I’m watching this during the Covid 19 scare of 2020, and sure hope this lady is still living and cooking! Would love to see more of her cooking everyday family meals.
me too!! thinking since there's no bread at the store I'll try to make some biscuits!
Pamela Green yep! Same here
I'm thinking about making these for my office when we reopen. Biscuits and jelly!!
I was just thinking the same thing hoping she stays safe through this if she is!!
SAME! Home Economics class, starts now kiddos!
bout halfway through i realized i didnt care about the biscuits. this is just wholesome programming
Amen! This is America. We cannot let this go. Let the elders teach the young women.
Reminds me of my tortilla making. 😃👬👭🤰Love the children. Tex Girl here living in Cali!
@@mariacruzpascacio4547 Do you also mean teach the young men too? Cooking and baking is for everyone who wants to learn.
Take it easy snowflake! Why must every gender be listed to make you feel better. Quit looking for fault in everything. Once you do that, you will find life will become easier for you.
@@jakethesnake9528 Because she made it seem like we women are there to learn how to bake, for the men. I found it sexist is all if that is what she meant. It seemed catholic, and I just wanted to educate her that baking is for everyone.
Tammie, I would bet that if given the opportunity, Maria would probably tell you her husband or boyfriend has cooked plenty of times. You should work on not interjecting your sensitive feelings into the comment of others. Just relax and enjoy the lessons that are to be learned on TH-cam. By the way, I am a man, and not once did it cross my mind that I need to bring my wife to watch the video to learn how to make biscuits after reading Maria's comments. I watched the video, so maybe I could learn. The true meaning, I believe behind Maria's comment is that we all could learn a lot from our elders, if we would quit be critical and looking for fault because we want everyone to see just how "woke" we are. Experience keeps a wise and precious school.
This video is precious. It really makes me tear up thinking about being a kid at my Grandma and Grandpap’s house over the holidays. I can still smell the turkey in the oven. I really miss those times. Family is everything, and to see another’s for just a few moments, makes me feel so blessed, and thankful for my family. We need more heartfelt videos like these! Tell Grandma thank you! God Bless! 💜💜💜
That's what I was thinking too! From grandma cooking in the kitchen to kids/cousins endlessly making noise in the back -I miss it so much.
But I have 4 bio kids & 3 step kids... so I bet my house will sound like that someday 😁

This lady reminds me so much of my momma. Momma passes in 2010 so this wonderful lady helped me remember mommas bisque recipe. Her mannerisms her accent and the way she moves around the kitchen was my momma way of doing it. Love her.
I love this video thanku💕💕💕😁😍
My Momma passed in 2010 also. Similar biscuit recipe!
You know shes for real with that old school sifter.
Lawd can I just have a Bite of one .My goodness they look delicious.
still have my mother's :) I will never part with it!
And the avocado green scoop in the flour straight out of 1970. My mom still has the harvest gold.
The first thing I spotted. One of those passed-down sifters.🙂
And that timer my Mom had one just like it , and I'm 75 .
She is just precious! I want her to do a cookin’ show, complete with kid noises! I hope she’s well! Pioneer Woman ain’t got nothing on her!💕💕💕
Took a trip back to my granny's kitchen in my mind and heart.
This is the greatest biscuit making video I’ve ever seen. God bless that woman! 😊
Such an honor to watch Gramma Johnson cook. I have been cooking for 25 years, self taught and she has probably forgotten more about cooking than I will ever learn. Thank you Gramma J.
I hope Grandma is doing well these days....Lord Have Mercy, Jesus! Can I get a biscuit?
Grab me one while you at it. Little butter and fig perserves, Lawd yeah!
Get you 2 cups of self rising flower
2 cups heavy cream mix well roll out not to thin. Cut out with coffee cup. Trust me best you ever had and you can do in in 15 minutes
Temp 400%
@imasonof, oh mercy good ole home-made biscuit with fig perseveres oyyeee now that's some good eating right there!
Me too with jelly
@@terryroberson2658 excellent recipe suggestion. the cream subs the lard by being 40% fat itself. very easy way to make your biscuits.
I’m in love with your grandmother, and this video brought tears. I really miss mine. Cherish these moments. Ps. I’ll be making these biscuits soon. 😍
Same!! Same!
I wish I had a grandma like her. You know them biscuits are off the chain because she was literally cooking them with so much love in her heart ❤️
THIS is what MADE WITH LOVE looks like!!!
WHO NEEDS A COOKIE CUTTER, when you have GRANNIES!!!
This is one of the sweetest and most wholesome videos I've seen in a long time!
Reminds me of my own grammy, who raised me i grew up in the kitchen by her side, by the time i left at the age of 14 l knew how to take care of meself, may God bless her soul, live family type videos , thank you for posting
Great job grand ma.
What a beautiful video
this video was so awesome. I miss my granny. talking about biscuits and old times. I really enjoyed watching. thanks so much
I agree.
This video was a joy to watch, reminds me of NC. I love to listen to older people just talk. And those biscuits looked amazing. I could listen to grandma for hours. Be blessed.
Marcellus McMillian Online me too!! Reminds me of my inlaws. Oh how I miss them and their wisdom and her biscuits.
Me too, from NC also. My grandma made her biscuits the same way.
This is how my dear Aunt Mary used to make her biscuits..she never measured anything and never used a biscuit cutter. This video seeing how this lady rolled those biscuits bought back so many memories..thank you for sharing🙏🏾😊
Grandma is a beautiful soul. I enjoyed watching and listening to her talk. I could listen to grandma talk for hours. Such a soothing voice.
Grandma's facial expressions are priceless. Her eyes stare into my soul
Makes me miss my grandma 👵 and her biscuits. Such a sweet matriarch: “Practice makes perfect!” 👌🏽
Yep!
me to 😥😥
🙏😇That's so sweet!🌷🐝
My MAMA made the BEST BISCUITS I EVER ATE, She taught me & my husband would say I'm going to get me a BOWL & get beside you & do exactly as you do..LOL, His was never like mine, Bless him, He passed away this XMAS morning 1019..LOVE YOU, R.I. P.
@@toosexy7955 my sincere condolences. Be blessed and happy. Love, Chloe
Someone should have walked up behind Her, gave Her a great big hug from behind, and told Her "I sure do love you Grandma". You know She would have promptly replied "I love you too, Baby - more than you know"... AND MEANT IT.
I must have watched this video a dozen times. Heart felt family 👪. This is how family gathers to be together. We love you grandma and papa.
"how long is that video gonna be?" "as long as it takes"
hell yeah
The sweetest thing ever! All the family talking in the background made me feel like I was part of the family!
Watched until the end and sad when it was over! Loved it!
Soon as I heard her beautiful accent, I knew this was gonna be good.
There's so much love in this kitchen, I can almost feel it through my phone 🤗
This was recommended on my feed. I pray she is still patting down her biscuits. Such a lovely woman. And those biscuits look so awesome!!!
That spoon and that sifter I would consider family gold~
I've watched this at least six times, she's a great storyteller besides making a pan of beautiful biscuits!👍🏼
I feel like I'm sitting right there in the kitchen with you when I watch this video. No fancy intros, background music, or extra editing necessary. Feels just like being at Grandma's house!
I love seeing "the whole gang" as my mother would call it....grandparents, parents, kids....all hanging out together in a HOME. Its so beautiful! Family is such a wonderful thing! Thanks for a great video. :)
I had a Grandma Johnson, my precious Daddy’s mother. Generations born and raised in West Virginia, until mom and dad moved to Florida in 1958. Grandma passed in 1976, Dad passed in 2010. I had NEVER of White Lily flour until I married in 1980 😱😁, and I moved to my husband’s home state of South Carolina. This lovely lady in the video is making biscuits just the way my husband’s mama did.....she never measured anything, and her biscuits were perfect every time. Thank you for taking me down memory lane. 👍🏼💜.
I was thinking this had to be in the West Virginia area! Lived there a few years and would love to return someday. Amazing people and very family-oriented.
I too am from West Virginia , but this sweet lady is in a more southern state than we it's the wrong accent for WV . actually I think her accent sounds more one of the Carolina's or Georgia!
This lovely grandma sure reminds me of my grandma. Her buscuits were the best and she did the same thing, measured by eye and rolled by hand. Breakfast Sundays were the best growing up. Thanks for sharing this slice of home.
I’m watching granny mix up these biscuits and it’s like watching my mother create these very same biscuits. She’s gone now but thank you for bringing back a treasured memory for me.
This is exactly how it was at my grandmother's house when my dad was overseas in the Vietnam war while we stayed with my grandparents. My cousins were always over, we had birthday parties, walked up to the lakefront market together for a candy bar, chased the goose in the backyard for fun, and picked the blackberries in my Grandmother's garden. I remember putting the berries in a pretty basket with a blue and white checked cloth napkin. When the evening rolled around, she'd read us a story from Grimm's 365 Bedtime Stories while Grandpa was still at work. That was the life! We were self-quarantined on purpose because that's where all the love was - at Grandma and Grandpa's house!
OMG!! She is adorable! She's everybody's dream grandma. This video definitely makes me want to be there.
"everybody's dream grandma" so cute
I made biscuits very similar daily when going to high school in Kentucky.
It was so awesome to watch her make those biscuits, and how you guys shared your family with me. My sister was asking how to make biscuits and I was telling her how to make them with lard, she was like no way, so I remember watching this video last year, so thank you for being here for those that need help in the kitchen. ❤❤❤❤
And Grandpa in the background cleaning up...gotta love a couple who've been married forever and a day.
Thank you for welcoming us into your family kitchen and sharing Grandma’s biscuits. Brought us back to our midwestern roots. Loved it so much we had to make them with kids today. God Bless!
I cried almost the whole entire video reminded me of my family gatherings my grandfather would be walking in background stirring a pot while grandma would make a pie or biscuit .... I knew immediately you were from the south my people are all over sc love love this thank you so much for sharing
I love this gramma and hope to be like her someday. She is in charge of her home and kitchen! No one messes with her, not even grampa.
This is how my momma and grandmama made biscuits. I learned from watching them. Delicious every time!
Thank You .... By the time she finished the second row of biscuits ; I was bawling ..... I miss my Grandmother so much
me too,uncle grumpy, i actually had a grandma johnson that was alot like this one, at first i was watching the biscuits, then it was all about her an the family, something is n my eye an i cant get rid of it lol
Same here
I just made these for my boys and they tore them up! My husband has informed me we have a new biscuit recipe. Thank you Grandma Johnson!
I miss my grandmas biscuits. She made biscuits like this lady.
This lady reminds me so much of my grandmother. The whole video is like being with family on Christmas Eve. Love it.
I love grandma Johnson! I am watching this in 2019 and I hope she is still baking those biscuits!
Same here! Nothing like Grannies recipes!
here here lol
me to God Bless her and ALL THE GRANDMAS
I fell in love with her, too! She's so much like my grandmothers that I had to watch the video again; she made me happy just watching her. And when she said "I just eyeball it," well, that's one of my phrases because of them. She brought up so many memories that I'm grateful I found this video. She makes her biscuits the same as my grandmothers' too, except they both used iron skillets. I remember that one of them would also leave the oven door ajar after she finished cooking to help heat the house (she was very frugal!)
SOME OF YOU ARE ACTING LIKE YOU DON"T REMEMBER WHEN YOU SAID TO MOMMY AND NANNA ....CAN I LICK THE BOWL OR CAN I LICK THE SPOON....STOP SHOWIN OFF YOU MEMBER!!! AND YES I LEFT OUT THE RE ON REMEMBER!!! LOL!
Everything about this video says Grandma’s house. The kids were the entire soundtrack of my life. Loved this video
My momma made biscuits like this
She was giving some good tips on baking the biscuits but hard to hear her over the other talking.
I enjoyed the video, a little distraction at times though
barbara mollineau
Just like home
Every time I want to be comforted...I come watch this video!! I miss the good ole days, grandmas and great grandmas....they just don't make em like they used to!! 2021, thanks for posting this, God Bless You All!!!!
This video is a national treasure.
This video brought so many tears to my eyes. This grandma was making alot more than just biscuits. I truly hope my later years are spent looking like this. You can tell there is so much love in this kitchen.
Love biscuits. This recipe is pretty much standard for making biscuits. Granma Johnson cracked me up when she said her daddy could make biscuits like a woman. lol precious
I laughed at that too!
My mom had a bowl just like that
Sherrie Whitmire is
Love the family atmosphere. Those look like they were really good.
My Daddy made them just like my Momma did young people don't know how usually
It is 5 years since this video was taken! Here in 2021, the Grandma is amazing! I love the entire look of her kitchen!!! Right at home 100% with noisy little boys running around....and Grandpa part of the scene!
This video was and is such a blessing! With the most sincere gratitude, Thank You!
I could smell the biscuits cooking and hear my Granny, Papaw, Aunts, Uncles and cousins once again, that was over 50 years ago.
Now it's time to go make some biscuits myself and I agree, you can have biscuits anytime of the day.
God Bless you and your family
Wow she really is a master! Her technique of folding the extra flour in at the end adds layers inside the dough and how she shaped them into balls DEFINITELY makes more biscuits then rolling and cutting because it's hard to rework the scraps into biscuits after cutting. 😍 Paula deen definitely has nothing on this
I agree with whomever said that in the video and what you said about Paula Deen.
Paula Deen has nothing on this woman.
I was very disappointed when I saw the true "Prejudiced" Paul Deen. I quit watching Paula the day I saw that on the news.
I also threw away my Paula Deen books.
I don't have time for haters. Paula should know better she had to struggle to get her "bag lady" business started.
I don't like fake people.
I would much rather see a real family matriarch cook. Such a pleasure.
This sweet womans biscuits are absolutely beautiful.
Because they are made with love.
That's sad that you felt that way. I try to remember that the media is so dishonest and sensationalizes EVERYTHING these days and makes everyone sound so much worse than they are - just to sell papers and keep us tuned in. They manipulate emotions and hope people will have those kinds of reactions. Paula Deen is a human being and is a product of her times. Like all of us, she grows as a person and she had grown over the 30 years since the incident in question (which, by the way, was a violent crime of which SHE was the victim). She has given many people of color opportunities through her business ventures and has honored them and has true affection for them. I hope you will remember not to always believe what you see in the news - they lie. A LOT.
@@curbappealfixers9872 I agree with you 100%. You really can't deny history and the way things were in the past. She is a product of her up bringing for sure. I didn't always act and feel the way I do now especially 30 years ago and I know many people on this site had to change too. I do not believe she has made any changes she needed to make. Thanks for your response.
This is the same way my mother taught me in the 60s
@@curbappealfixers9872 i agree and was thinking same thing. Why not give a compliment to one person WITHOUT speaking negatively of another?
Loved the video. I was the youngest grandchild, so I don't recall everything. I stayed with her for several months during my preschool and kindergarten-partial 1st grade. Don't recall her making biscuits (probably did though), but I watched her make/bake bread, dinner rolls 2x a week, every week without fail. I recall watching her hands as I could barely see over the table being seated. She made Ant Cake, aka (Banana Cake). I saw black things in it and asked what they were, she always replied "ants". I BELIEVED HER! She'd always top it with homemade peanutbutter frosting. 1x week she'd make potatoe salad. My Grandma Alice Pearl canned everything imaginable. If someone in Funk Nebraska had too much of something, they'd drop it off/give to her their overflow as she was a widow caring for 2 grandsons after her oldest daughter died in childbirth. I recall every wrinkle in her face and hands. The woman was a work horse. May she enjoy Heaven for Eternity. If only I could have been old enough to ask her about the old days. I miss her so much. I have grown sons. 44 & 47. Only 1 is married. Not one grandchild to my name. Unamerican!
You make biscuits just like the way my mom did. I sure do miss her biscuits! I have enjoyed watching you as I can see my own mother making hers just the same way with kids running around and family visiting. What a fun time. Thank you so much for sharing.
She has her bare hands all over those biscuits from start to finish. That is the one's I would rather have. And I would bet they are the best ever.
She’s beautiful. God bless her. I was enjoying watching this.
@9:48...."the sacrifices you make for your children"; " You do anything for 'em"....now that's true motherhood. God bless 'em.😄
She is a sport. I just love her thoughts and wisdom as she bakes. It was like watching a down home artist, and I learned SO much. Can't wait to give it a try myself. Been a long time since I made biscuits and now my mouth is watering. Thanks again!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I swear she has the same mixing bowl, and sifter my Big Mama had😭😭😭 so many memories of hearing the spoon scraping the bowl stirring while listening to Randy Travis, and Charlie Pride on the radio every morning before I went to school. Thank you for the memories 😭😭😭
This video almost brought me to tears. My mother didnt make good biscuits but my aunt Opal could make the best biscuits ever. She taught me how so I could make them for myself. That was almost 50 years ago, I was 12 years old. My aunt passed away 30 years ago and I will never forget how to make those biscuits. Thanks for bringing back my memories
Could you share the recipe with me? Inbox me Facebook Judy Noble
@@judynoble951 I sorry I dont do Facebook
Could you post the recipe here? :)
@@judynoble951 to be honest Jusy i have been trying to figure out a recipe. A lot if it just by what looks good. First off you need self rising flour, crisco and buttermilk. And then you sift your flour into a nice big bowl. And make a well. After that you need about a fourth of a cup of crisco. Just take it iut with your fingers. Thats the way I was taught. My aunt made biscuits almost every day of her life for over 40 years. And using the crisco gave her softer hands than any lotion. So take the crisco and put inthe flour well and start working the flour and crisco together . After you get that done pour in 14 cup buttermilk. Eyeball it. Now you remember making mud pies? You work the flour and crisco and butter milk together to make a dough. If its dry add more buttermilk, if its too wet pull in mor flour. Dont over work the dough. Set your oven on 400. Ofcourse it depends on your oven how long yhe biscuits cook. Now you can roll out the dough for biscuits or just roll them with your hand. You really want to use a xast iron skillet but can use a baking pan. Take some crisco and grease whichever pan u use. Get it hot in the oven. Put the biscuits in the pan and cook 10 to 12 minutes depending on the oven. And how big you made the biscuits. I use my hands and make small balls and pat them down in the skillet. My aunt would brush the biscuits with bacon grease or butter before cooking. Sure hope this helps. Just keep working at it.
Tammie White Thank you so much for this 💖
Thank you for allowing me to visit with you. This was the most heartwarming video I've seen in a long time. I was supposed to be sitting here working on my website, busting my head against the wall trying to figure out what to do and instead I got to sit here and be a part of your family. It reminded me to take a deep breath and relax. Plus, now I've got the itch to make some world class biscuits.

I think this beautiful woman reminds all of us about our Grandmas and mothers. Bless her soul. Just from watching this video, you know her heart is in everything she does.
Amen
I know right. I have this video on my favorites..just love to listen to her and the busy family background.
Best TH-cam video I've ever seen in my life. Thank you so much for taking the time to record this and share your Grandma, her biscuits and your family with the world.
Your Grandmother has a beautiful spirit. Thank you for sharing her with us.
This Grandma is in her glory. How amazing and priceless for you to have this video. Beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing.
Oh my goodness!.. I saw this Video before and I just always seem to love it each time!..It's been around since 2016 and now we are in 2021!..I truly hope that Grandma Johnson and the whole family are doing well under the Current Circumstances we are all facing. I just love and appreciated this Video because I miss my own Mom & Dad. Grandma Johnson may not be my Mother and they certainly had different backgrounds yet nevertheless I take note that the Video was very much appreciated and that it is amazing to see how much alike these women are. Human beings are so much alike when it comes to making these "Biscuits" because of there Loving way of Cooking. It's Sentimental for me because it's almost exactly like watching my own Mom. Even though my Mom was a Bilingual Speaking Hispanic American who was (she proudly spoke English and Spanish fluently) born and raised in the Southwest USA. Again, I Love and appreciate that you all took the time to film the Video and to show us how to make these Biscuits and for sharing.
This was certainly special to watch. I used to help my nana when I was younger but I wasn’t old enough to remember the ingredients. I just remembered she made them in a cast iron skillet and how amazing they were. This is a labour of love. And everything looked delicious. And the grits sounded good too 😊
This is how I was Taught! Gotta have shortening for good southern biscuits!
She makes biscuits the way my mother used to. What a joy!
I'm just going to call you Granny my mama used to make biscuits and I used to love those biscuits turn my mom how to make them and see no hair no longer I thank you for showing me again ✝️
I cannot watch this video enough. Please record more of Grandma Johnson to share! My favorite thing besides the "daddy making biscuits comment" is when she holds up that spoonful of flour and says, "That's a little bit not as much as a biscuit." I knew exactly what she meant! That, and her sneaking the cheese and butter in the biscuits before they get to the table (I've done the same kind of thing for my grands!). A true Southern grandmother.
This might be the most adorable lady I have ever seen in my entire life.
Agreed.
I even love hearing her voice.
You should check out Depression cooking by Clara,she's passed away, but her sweet video's remain, along with her life lessons, she is quite interesting to listen to
Ms johnson made me cry she acted so much like my momma... , i miss my mom ... i and making these
Bless your heart sweet girl.
Just trust in the Lord and lean
not onto thine own understanding.
You will be reunited in heaven.
I pray that the peace that passes all understanding will abide in your heart.
May God bless you and yours. ♥️😊♥️
Me too.
Yes I miss my (step mom) but I call her my momma. No disrespect intended and these biscuits look delicious but I always thought moms biscuits were the absolute best I had ever ate. I can't wait to see her and my family but most of all Jesus. Thanks for your comments,, God bless
What shortening did she put into the flour?

I’m going back home now I miss my mom and her great cooking 🥘
If you do anymore videos please keep the kids and family in the background. It so reminds me of my younger days when our family was all together ❤️ as I cook along with your videos it seems like my kitchen is full of loved ones even though I'm alone. God bless you and your family.
