Just stumbled on your channel. I’m from Appalachia, Virginia. Moved away when I turned 18. Back then, I was ashamed of my “raising” but today I’m proud and grateful. It made me the person I am today.
I was having a pretty bad day because somebody made me mad and I couldn't just let it go. I have been stewing over it all day. This just turned my day around. Thank you!
Tippers channel is my happy place too! After a rough day be it disturbing news or just old age aches and pains, I come here to watch and relax and end my day on such a happy note!!
Same here ~ I’ve just blocked my whole family and told my mum I’ll never see them again, I’m done with them, they don’t give a shit about me and I can’t go on pretending they do, they say they do but not enough to care, my dad died last august and since then I’ve barely seen them, I felt like I lost my whole family when my dad died, but I’m ready to move on, to give myself a chance at a life and this video has helped me to forget about them, it has me smiling and tomorrow is a new day and I’m gonna get on with my life as best I can. :)
I made biscuits using your recipe today and couldn't be happier. I'm disabled and my cooking is limited to things that only take about 10 minutes to put together, and these didn't take that long. And they taste just the way biscuits should. Thank you.
Hello everyone, I am new & was looking at different biscuit recipes. I live in southern Georgia but grew up in the Ozark mountains & my family came here from Italy so I grew up on Italian bread rather than biscuits mainly but I married a southern boy 35 yrs ago & had to learn to make food he grew up on which meant buttermilk biscuits.It took me 2 yrs to get it right & I did it by feel not measuring. U were so right saying some days they were great but some days they were not. So his aunt taught me to use white lilly self rising flour, crisco & whole milk buttermilk. She explained it simply 2 -3 cups sifted flour make a well or birds nest in the center & 2 hen egg size of crisco in the well with a cup &1/2 of buttermilk (the crisco was about 1/4C) she would use her hands to combine the crisco & buttermilk & she would slowly pull in from the sides her flour the turn it out onto a floured surface she turned it over on itself about 3-4 times & pat it out to her desired thickness & use a can floured on the end to cut them out but she would push down & twist & transfer to a greased pan & that's what I learned to make so I was looking for something different & simple but they need to taste like a real biscuit should or he won't touch it. I am going to try yours & see if he will go for it. Sure would make my life easier. Thank you so much for sharing & I look forward to seeing looking at your other videos. God bless you for sharing. I never have heard of chocolate gravy. Oh my.
I love to cook without a recipe. I get bored and tired with cooking for my family. Watching these videos reminds me of the importance of preparing food and keeping the family healthy and happy. I think of my granny feeding her family in WW2 England. Thanks for the reminder that it is good work to feed a family well.
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!!
I just tried your biscuit recipe. I took courage and kneaded the mix until I was sure they would be tough. They turned out beautiful and tender. Luckily I had some applesauce in the frig and some cold milk. Best biscuit I’ve had in years! Tomorrow, I’m making cheese biscuits. Thank you.
I'm 73 years old and made your biscuits for dinner tonight! They were served with previously cooked great northern beans! Thank you so much for your tutorial which gave me confidence to try making biscuits again after failing 60 years ago! So good! 😋
I'm old school from Kentucky around mammoth cave area. I always had good country meals fixed. My mom taught me how to cook at a very young age. She said I wanted to learn, so she did. I'm so thankful for that. All women should know how to cook.
I do most of the cooking in my house and have for most of my adult life. I am 71 now and I still love to cook. You cook like my mom taught me. I love your videos.
Mam this is so much like my mommas house. I miss her and the food that I grew up eating. I feel as a country we have lost most of what is truly food that is not only the best but food that tells a story and has carried a many of man and women through our daily living. Thank you for probably the best food I have ever seen. ❤️🌲🌲🌲❤️
I agree, now days a lot of people will shame you for eating anything with fat or sugar in it. Everything has to be healthy, people see food as evil. My husband and I don’t see it that way. My Nanny was 101 when she died, my mother in-law was 99…a few days shy of a hundred.
If the biscuits are even half as good as your chocolate oatmeal no bake cookies then winners they are. Very happy to hear that the shower for Cory and Austin's upcoming wedding was a success. The help of good friends surely made the day's success even more grand.
I remember Granny talking about getting foundered when she was a young girl. Trust me…I could founder myself on all those delicious biscuits and hand pies!! I’ve never seen the chocolate one. I need to give that a try. Thanks Tipper!! I’ll be waiting for more of Dorie tomorrow!! 😊
We always called that last biscuit the baby biscuit and the baby in our family always got it too. I’ve never seen biscuits made this way, but I’ll definitely be trying it.
I ve never seen anyone else make chocolate pies like that! My Daddy told me how to make them when I was a little girl, abt 55 yrs ago! He ask me to make them for him!!! They are my favorite , next to peach fried pies made with dried peaches!!!!
My mom and older relatives made cat head biscuits with gold medal self rising flour, crisco and buttermilk.They mixed it with their hands and baked on a cookie sheet after forming with their hands. Never had any that good.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Just like you, my wife and I could not consistently reproduce the biscuits we grew up on. Some of my family preferred canned biscuits, some frozen, and one demands from scratch. We tried recipes from the Bisquick box and complicated recipes from the internet. They were either too dry or too greasy. Your simple recipe satisfies the whole family and really couldn't be simpler! And I made the cheese biscuits for a fish dinner.....an absolute winner! Now everyone enjoys the Saturday morning biscuits!
What a wonderful recipe! I can't wait to try it. It's been a while since I made homemade biscuits, but I have a biscuit cutter my dad made in grade school for my grandma. She gave it to me and I treasure it. He passed away Sept. 10th at age 92. Thank you!
Didn’t grow up in the mountains but grew up in rural ky. You remind me of days gone by, of family and old recipes. I miss those days very much. My grandmother, aunts and uncles, cousins and sitting in the yard talking about anything that caught their fancy. Thanks for the memories. My mother made fried pies just like that.
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.
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.
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!)
My fiance laughs when I say that I'll go wherever he wants or needs to for work. The only restriction is that I have to be able to buy White Lily, or order it. The man loves biscuits and gravy. He's not about to argue on this.
I always give the baby biscuits to my dog. She's a 6 month old German wirehaired pointer and just loves my biscuits. Thank you for the simple recipe, mine is pretty involved. I was looking for something easier for when I'm in a rush!
I was so greedy, after making your biscuits I ate 2 of them with butter and jam - it was after dinner!!!! so good and so easy to make - I have 4 left that I will give to Valerie (my daughter) tomorrow -thank you very much Tipper, your explanation was so easy to follow - Au revoir
Ms Tipper you never fail to bring back memories, God Bless you and Thank you for sharing. Mom always made DROPPED BISCUITS , HOUND EARS, DUMPLINGS & ROLLED BISCUITS from the same recipe💞. That’s a WELL SEASONED (LOVED) pan 👌🏻💞
Wow, my mom did all these, i especially. loved the drop~ biscuits, so crunchy on the sides. she did the pies, i loved the blueberry, apple ones, she worked at a doughnut shop, it's so easy, and it makes me miss my mom, it makes me want to bake, cold, ugh!!, Waiting for winter days, when i go to my cabin. Thanks for my memories. :)
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 amazes me is, the simple recipe, self rising flour and cream, is the same thing as self rising flour, buttermilk, and butter. Cream turns into 2 products, butter and buttermilk! They created more work when they processed the two!
My ex husband's family were from Tennessee and they taught me how to make biscuits using buttermilk. Oh, they were and are so good. They taught me how to make fried corn and fried green tomatoes. Wonderful down home cooking! Fried pies too.
We have always called the last mashed together biscuit the mother in law biscuit lol. I don’t know why, I wish I could ask my sweet grandma. Thank you for your videos, they bring my family joy.
Just made the biscuits for breakfast this morning and they are wonderful!! I’ve been making buttermilk biscuits for years but these are so easy and the texture and taste are great. My husband’s exact words were “you can put these biscuits on the table anytime!” High praise 😅. Thanks for another wonderful recipe.
I really like hanging out with you on your cooking videos /this may sound sad but today I just remembered my mother who has NPD(narcissistic personality disorder )which makes them really mean/ would never let me go near her in the kitchen and didn't want me to learn how to cook from her/would tell me to go away, I think watching your videos is very healing for my heart/getting to see the family I never got to experience enjoying life warms my heart, your such a good momma/wife/daughter, I love it /thank you Tipper!
My Mammaw Hazel always had that left over part of the biscuit dough and called it the Danny-Doo….because her son Danny loved to eat that part. He passed away when he was 7 but Mammaw always made the Danny-Doo still and put it on the plate with her biscuits. Sweet memories!
I loved watching you make the biscuits. We really didn't have them growing up except, and this is a big except, when my mother made a stew. They she'd make what we called "dropped biscuits" that she dropped into the stew. They were delicious.
My granny made amazing biscuits and gravy. We often say it would appear she had nothing to cook but she would go in the kitchen and whip up a huge breakfast, including biscuits and gravy and enough for 15 people.
My mom always called the last biscuit the "wad" biscuit because it was the last little wad of dough. Greetings from a beautiful warm North Mississippi.
I'm from Appalachia, too. Lee County, VA, but presently living in Indiana. My granny made so many biscuits and always left some dough (probably enough for about 3 regular biscuits) and she called it a "pone." I love these biscuits with butter and pancake syrup, sausage or bacon gravy, or cocoa gravy that my granny made for us.
My goodness, they all look delicious! I had never seen this way of making biscuits. I will just go ahead and say it, I am a very good cook, but do struggle with making consistently good biscuits. I cannot wait to try your recipe with just the flower and cream. Watching you I can tell that you have made these many many times as you are very sure of yourself. That is how my grandmother was. She had 12 children so you know that she did a lot of cooking!
I make my biscuits this way also or sometimes I use shortening n buttermilk, cut out sometimes or rolled .... Our family loves homemade biscuits, dumplings, fried pies, etc. I love watching your videos ❤
We always called the leftover dough a dough boy. My Grandmother taught me to make biscuits with just self rising flour and buttermilk. 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.
I love making drop biscuits, they are so easy and come out every time. I bake em in muffin tins, cause I like the shape. Nothing better than hot biscuits and butter and jam for breakfast!
I have made these simple biscuits SO MANY TIMES now, since learning them from you. It's so nice to have such an easy option, especially when time gets away from me (last minute). I am thrilled to have a couple more easy variations, will definitely be adding some cheese etcetera and I know my husband's going to love them. THANK YOU TIPPER!
Thank you SO much for a beautiful memory! My great grandmother made biscuits like those! Fresh cream from the cow they had… it is truly one of life’s delights! With homemade butter? To die for♥️I love how certain things stir that bittersweet feeling and comfort zone in ones heart and tummy❣️Love coming to visit you Tipper! You are a feel- good for me… sending love and peace and health to you and yours always♥️☮️‼️XXOOSue
Miss Tipper, please take this comment as the compliment it is intended to be, but your cooking videos remind me of my PaPa and MaMa so much it often brings me to tears. Though my family isn't from the Appalachia region, most and especially my paternal grandparents, were from the boot heel/oazrk area of Missouri. The Ozarks shares a rich heritage with Appalachia mountain people, because they were largely the ones who migrated and settle the Ozark area in Missouri and Arkansas. Lots of the words/slang you use I grew up hearing as well because of my PaPa and MaMa and that kin. So when I watch your cooking videos, memories come flooding back to me of my PaPa and Mama's kitchen and how/what they cooked. Man what I wouldn't give to taste some of their food again! Almost makes we want pop over to your neck of woods and be at one of your suppers or pot luck meals. Haha LOVE these videos of yours ma'am!
I love that bowl your making the biscuits in. Also, after I tried your biscuit recipe, I haven’t gone back. I have 4 grown sons that beg me to make them some for the road when they visit.
I ❤️your baking sheet! I have a lid and a cake pan that was part of a cooking set I bought 50 years ago for my “hope chest”. They were coated with the avocado green color which has since totally disappeared! They are “wonky “ too and are so dear to me 🥰
Hey Tipper, My husband wanted me to write and tell you something. I had to wait till I got straightened up after watching Corrie & Austin's wedding video. Whewwww, tear jerker for sure, lol. I'm so happy for them. Good grief you would have thought it was one of my kids getting married, lol. Ok, anyway, I made your biscuits with self-rising flour and heavy cream. I've tried every biscuit recipe you could imagine and they mostly came out heavy and on the dry side. BUT......I made yours this morning, and he said that they were the BEST biscuits that he had ever eaten! They were awful good, nice and light and moist. I'll never make them any other way (might try buttermilk one day). I'm 62 years old and it took me this long to make a good biscuit, lol. Thanks again!
So nice to see you use same recipe for all your beautiful baked items. Yum! I like Red lobster biscuits, too. May have to try this easy recipe for them. Thank you, Tipper
Those cheddar biscuits were delicious! But I remember the hush puppies they used to make before those and was so disappointed when they made the switch! Wish I had a recipe for those too! As a kid red lobster was our yearly dinner out growing up after income tax refunds came, otherwise we never ate out.
My mom would let me have the baby biscuit . I've never made biscuits with whipping cream I think I'll try them. I'm watching at12:53 am and your making me hungry for gravy and biscuits 😋
Oh my goodness, Tipper, all those variations on a biscuit look wonderful! You are making me hungry. You certainly are a first class cook, making everything look so simple! I have tasted all of these that you make and they are all good, I can't pick one that I like best! You go girl!
Ohh, Tipper. I wish I lived in a house close to your holler. I'd bring you the flour and cream to make biscuits for me.😃 Watching you enjoy those yummy baked goodies was a killin me here. 🤣🤣 You sure can make food look WONDERFUL the way you eat. My Mama always told me to cover my mouth after I took a bite of something and keep my hand over my mouth while I chewed. I was a grown up adult woman before I could stop doing that. I just love the facial enjoyment I see when you eating those biscuits. Thank you so much. This was a great way to end my day. ❤
Tipper new here lovely your channel..im in Alabama and don't know how to make buiscuts other than canned and kroger bakery isn't the best I watched and learned I just did this thing and my goodness I can't thank you enough..im 53 and disabled its hard for me to do most things i brought a chair into kitchen and figured it out fast bench flour is very important I found out and they turned out lovely..and I tried your cube steak recipe in the crock pot and that was delish.. 1 of my secrets when making meatloaf for the bread and seasonings I use a box of stove top savory dressin mix dry work it in it turns out great. I'm sure you have heard of it if not give it a try sometime time u have a subscriber for life dear. Have a blessed day!!!
I couldn't make biscuits like my mom either. I watched your earlier video when you talked about your biscuits and I tried your easy recipe and that's how I make my biscuits now! So good!! I'm definitely going to try the cheese and garlic biscuits and the hand pies too!
Right on time! I found some White Lilly flour today and have some heavy whipping cream already. Will try your biscuit recipe in the morning along with my tomato gravy. Thank you Tipper
I’m so glad my Daddy’s mother did the pies and biscuits I’m not sure how she did them but they were the best they lived in a small town called Ft Blackmore Va and I learned a little bit growing up with her and my other Grandmother who lived in Waynesboro Tn taught me to make fried pies and my son made me so proud he made apple and peach pies I’m 64 he’s 41 happy Mommy that and always
The biscuits and other recipes look delicious! So easy......my favorite kind......once you master the texture of the dough. I will surprise my family. And with sausage gravy. 😋😋. Thank you for the tutorial and sharing your recipes. 🌺🌺
Thank you so much for showing us how to make biscuits, and the hand pies. I did not grow up with a mother who did those things. She worked full time and was gone all day. I learned so much today! I appreciate seeing it done. Thank you SO much!
Gosh, these all look delicious 😋…I’m definitely going to try the cheddar garlic biscuits, especially when I make my chicken casserole….I usually use a box of the Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuit mix….to put on top of my simple chicken casserole….I bet these will be even better…And those hand pies looks mighty good too…🤗
My Ma would make Chocolate Pies for our school lunches - until WW2 when they started a kitchen and gave us breakfast and lunch. I always wondered how she made them. It took to 89 years of age to find out from you - thank you. I "remember and understand" Appalachian but can't "speak" it anymore. Phyllis
Hello Tipper, from Los Angeles. I've never made biscuits or really baked before, but your recipe seemed definitely doable, so I made the whipping cream biscuits for Easter. And they turned out awesome. Everyone was floored. The texture, airiness, and the taste was just amazing. Gave you full credit, of course. Thank you so much for the recipe and baking tips. Totally love your work. Now, I'm going to buy a cast iron pan to make your corn bread. And go to extra spin classes!
I just stumbled across your channel and have really enjoyed it. I have been around Charlotte for many, many years. My great grandfather came down to Spartanburg from Sylva in the 20s to work in the cotton mills. I was raised in Texas and am reminded of my grandmother and great grand mother who could make everything from a quilt to the best fried chicken. We are all from rural country and these women grew up poor. Thank you for your hard work. Matt, Tipper has the prettiest eyes and is a hard workin woman. Fortunate family.
Mama would give me the little left over bit of dough and I would make it into little 'biscuits' and push them into a little metal toy pan i had and put them in the oven. You can imagine in that thin little pan by the time I was done with them they were hard little things but Daddy ate them anyway for me. He ate all my tries at learning to cook. Poor Daddy. I love those cheese biscuits too. I will have to try making them. 👍Mama used biscuit dough to make her dumplins too. Great video! I can see I will be making biscuits in the morning. Yall have a good weekend. One more week !!
oh boy I gotta make me some of those savory cheese biscuits now. I've been wanting to try some chocolate gravy too. White Lily is my ultimate favorite flour and corn meal, it makes the best fluffy biscuits. I use my mamaws biscuit cutter that she made from an old tin can years and years ago. Those old well worn blackened baking pans are priceless!!!
Amen sister. You have missed one of life’s simple pleasures if you haven’t eaten a warm biscuit covered in homemade chocolate gravy. We ate that way in West Tennessee when I was a child. Fond memories.
I could watch you cook all day long! I do a decent White Lily self rising flour and cream biscuit. My 17yo daughter makes them even better! I don’t know what her magic is, but she has it for sure!
My Mom use to make the chocolate gravy for us on Christmas and that was a nice memory. My Mom was from eastern Kentucky in Bell county, and I love your channel because a lot of the things you cook is like the food I had growing up. They were good times. She grew up in a small cabin with dirt floors and they cooked on a wood stove. When we would go back there to visit her family I would see her younger teenage cousins cooking on that wood stove, I was so amazed! They were right upside their hill ( some might call it a mountain lol). But they had gardens and grew food in that rocky soil, that was another thing that amazed me. They were hard working folk and tough minded cause they had to be. The last time I went to visit the holler most of the people were gone from there and only a few cousins remained. The little ol cabins caved in or removed. But it still floods down there every spring. Memories.
Enjoyed watching your video so much! I’ve mastered corn and flour tortillas as our main meals are Mexican food. Didn’t grow up having home cooked bread products so I’m having to learn new skills at 72 years of age to widen my prepping skills. I have bread down with a simple enough for me recipe but the biscuit videos I’d see looked very intimidating but you made this recipe that looks simple enough and I love how you said it was pretty fool proof given when it has been over handled by your students! I have never heard of chocolate gravy before and just couldn’t imagine it over food until I saw how you used it over your biscuit, lol! My husband will enjoy that for sure! Thank you for educating me and countless others!
Thank you for this simple biscuit recipe. I’m a transplant from Michigan and had no idea how to make biscuits. I tried and tried to make biscuits with buttermilk and cutting in the shortening. They never worked out. Made some two ingredient biscuits this morning and the family if just going nuts over them! Thank you, thank you!
I have tried out your biscuit recipe four or five times now and it is wonderful! I even made some tiny little biscuits with a salt shaker lid… I was thinking they would be perfect for an hors d’oeuvre kind of thing. I can’t wait to try the garlic cheese biscuits and the pies! Thank you so much!
I used to love sitting on the countertop watching my momma make biscuits (she was a pinch, roll and pat girl). However, when I was around 16, I smarted off to her about something and ended up with a mouth full of biscuit dough, so I can't stand to even taste a pinch of raw dough anymore, LOL. BTW, I didn't know Momma could move that fast, I definitely deserved it, and I thanked her for it later. Take care and keep these great videos coming.
Your biscuits look so good! I wish I could get some of the White Lilly flour. I remember my mother buying it a few times over the years, but now that I live in the Midwest, I cannot get it here. Thank you for sharing your recipes/methods!
How do you spell flume.. the baby biscuit? Those 3 things you have made from one biscuit dough is 👏👏💯💯✔️✔️💕. Lordy I’ve gained 10 lbs just watching. Love you beautiful lady and your precious girls, husband and granny. Blessings to all.
Thank you for keeping our heritage alive and well. It is always awesome to see fellow Appalachian people come out and show our culture in such a positive light.
I'm the baby and I loved loved getting the baby biscuit dough, when I started working if Mom made biscuits while I was gone,she'd wrap it up and leave it for me to eat when I got in from work. Yummy yummy
Thank you very much for this video! I am biscuit challenged, and this looks like a good candidate recipe for me! And for the first time, I think baked hand pies may be do-able!
We had biscuits and chocolate gravy for breakfast every morning. I made that for breakfast on holidays. I still make it for my daughters and grand daughters.
We call it the baby biscuit 😊. We are from South central Virginia and North central North Carolina. I have my Granny's cast iron skillets!! My family lived in Gainesville GA!!! It was the mid 1970's. I was excited to hear you mention it. ❤ Much love to you and your family.
Biscuit Bonanza! My Mama made her biscuits like yours did, but I never learned that method either. My first husband worked for theWhite Lily Flour Company in Knoxville and the employees were given test kitchen primer cookbooks. That's where I learned. I'll have to try your version with of the cheese garlic biscuits with cream! That would have to be the best! I really enjoyed your video!
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! 😍♥️♥️
In the French section of Switzerland, they have a similar bread with Swiss chocolate bar inside, it's called" Pain Au Chocolat ", to me it's addictive.
My go to biscuit recipe is a drop biscuit. I use an ice scoop to drop them on my pan. They aren’t huge, but they are cute and uniform. And I’m lazy, so I love that the scoop does all the work for me. :~)
I also use a medium-sized ice cream scoop to make drop biscuits. I also use drop biscuit dough, to top my fresh fruit cobblers. 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.
I made the biscuits this morning and they were without a doubt the best I have ever made. I was so happy and a little sad at the same time because I had to wait until I was 52 to hear of this recipe. 😉 THANK YOU!
Just stumbled on your channel.
I’m from Appalachia, Virginia.
Moved away when I turned 18.
Back then, I was ashamed of my “raising” but today I’m proud and grateful. It made me the person I am today.
Welcome!! And thank you for sharing that 😀
I was having a pretty bad day because somebody made me mad and I couldn't just let it go. I have been stewing over it all day. This just turned my day around. Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! And I hope you have a better day tomorrow 😀
Tippers channel is my happy place too! After a rough day be it disturbing news or just old age aches and pains, I come here to watch and relax and end my day on such a happy note!!
🙏🏻😊🙏🏻
Same here ~ I’ve just blocked my whole family and told my mum I’ll never see them again, I’m done with them, they don’t give a shit about me and I can’t go on pretending they do, they say they do but not enough to care, my dad died last august and since then I’ve barely seen them, I felt like I lost my whole family when my dad died, but I’m ready to move on, to give myself a chance at a life and this video has helped me to forget about them, it has me smiling and tomorrow is a new day and I’m gonna get on with my life as best I can. :)
@@autumn5852 I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time!! Glad the video helped and wishing you the best of everything 😀
I made biscuits using your recipe today and couldn't be happier. I'm disabled and my cooking is limited to things that only take about 10 minutes to put together, and these didn't take that long. And they taste just the way biscuits should. Thank you.
Wonderful!! So glad you enjoyed them 😀
She is a gem ❤️ sharing all her great recipes for us that need them
You didn't make biscuits.
Hello everyone, I am new & was looking at different biscuit recipes. I live in southern Georgia but grew up in the Ozark mountains & my family came here from Italy so I grew up on Italian bread rather than biscuits mainly but I married a southern boy 35 yrs ago & had to learn to make food he grew up on which meant buttermilk biscuits.It took me 2 yrs to get it right & I did it by feel not measuring. U were so right saying some days they were great but some days they were not. So his aunt taught me to use white lilly self rising flour, crisco & whole milk buttermilk. She explained it simply 2 -3 cups sifted flour make a well or birds nest in the center & 2 hen egg size of crisco in the well with a cup &1/2 of buttermilk (the crisco was about 1/4C) she would use her hands to combine the crisco & buttermilk & she would slowly pull in from the sides her flour the turn it out onto a floured surface she turned it over on itself about 3-4 times & pat it out to her desired thickness & use a can floured on the end to cut them out but she would push down & twist & transfer to a greased pan & that's what I learned to make so I was looking for something different & simple but they need to taste like a real biscuit should or he won't touch it. I am going to try yours & see if he will go for it. Sure would make my life easier. Thank you so much for sharing & I look forward to seeing looking at your other videos. God bless you for sharing. I never have heard of chocolate gravy. Oh my.
LOVE YOUR KITCHEN ITS FANTASTIC
I love to cook without a recipe. I get bored and tired with cooking for my family. Watching these videos reminds me of the importance of preparing food and keeping the family healthy and happy. I think of my granny feeding her family in WW2 England. Thanks for the reminder that it is good work to feed a family well.
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!!
Those sound amazingly delicious! Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us.
Sounds Delicious 😋
I tried to make those a baked pies the dog turned out like plaster of Paris
I just tried your biscuit recipe. I took courage and kneaded the mix until I was sure they would be tough. They turned out beautiful and tender. Luckily I had some applesauce in the frig and some cold milk. Best biscuit I’ve had in years! Tomorrow, I’m making cheese biscuits. Thank you.
Wonderful!!

I'm 73 years old and made your biscuits for dinner tonight! They were served with previously cooked great northern beans! Thank you so much for your tutorial which gave me confidence to try making biscuits again after failing 60 years ago! So good! 😋
Wonderful!
I'm old school from Kentucky around mammoth cave area. I always had good country meals fixed.
My mom taught me how to cook at a very young age. She said I wanted to learn, so she did. I'm so thankful for that. All women should know how to cook.
And men! I love cooking new things for folk.
Not just women
I do most of the cooking in my house and have for most of my adult life. I am 71 now and I still love to cook. You cook like my mom taught me. I love your videos.
That is wonderful! Thank you 😀
You’re the real deal. I could just listen to you talk about most anything. Somehow very calming.
Thank you 😊
Mam this is so much like my mommas house. I miss her and the food that I grew up eating. I feel as a country we have lost most of what is truly food that is not only the best but food that tells a story and has carried a many of man and women through our daily living. Thank you for probably the best food I have ever seen. ❤️🌲🌲🌲❤️
I agree, now days a lot of people will shame you for eating anything with fat or sugar in it. Everything has to be healthy, people see food as evil. My husband and I don’t see it that way. My Nanny was 101 when she died, my mother in-law was 99…a few days shy of a hundred.
Those biscuits are beautiful, Tipper! They look like something you’d see on the cover of Southern Living magazine. Wow 🤩 ❣️🇺🇸
Thank you 😀
If the biscuits are even half as good as your chocolate oatmeal no bake cookies then winners they are. Very happy to hear that the shower for Cory and Austin's upcoming wedding was a success. The help of good friends surely made the day's success even more grand.
I remember Granny talking about getting foundered when she was a young girl. Trust me…I could founder myself on all those delicious biscuits and hand pies!! I’ve never seen the chocolate one. I need to give that a try. Thanks Tipper!! I’ll be waiting for more of Dorie tomorrow!! 😊
Thank you Rhonda 😀
We always called that last biscuit the baby biscuit and the baby in our family always got it too. I’ve never seen biscuits made this way, but I’ll definitely be trying it.
I ve never seen anyone else make chocolate pies like that! My Daddy told me how to make them when I was a little girl, abt 55 yrs ago! He ask me to make them for him!!! They are my favorite , next to peach fried pies made with dried peaches!!!!
I'm sure I would like those!
My mom and older relatives made cat head biscuits with gold medal self rising flour, crisco and buttermilk.They mixed it with their hands and baked on a cookie sheet after forming with their hands. Never had any that good.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Just like you, my wife and I could not consistently reproduce the biscuits we grew up on. Some of my family preferred canned biscuits, some frozen, and one demands from scratch. We tried recipes from the Bisquick box and complicated recipes from the internet. They were either too dry or too greasy. Your simple recipe satisfies the whole family and really couldn't be simpler! And I made the cheese biscuits for a fish dinner.....an absolute winner! Now everyone enjoys the Saturday morning biscuits!
Wonderful!
What a wonderful recipe! I can't wait to try it. It's been a while since I made homemade biscuits, but I have a biscuit cutter my dad made in grade school for my grandma. She gave it to me and I treasure it. He passed away Sept. 10th at age 92. Thank you!
What a treasure that cutter is 😀
Oh keep up with that! I know you will because it’s a treasure to have. ❤
Didn’t grow up in the mountains but grew up in rural ky. You remind me of days gone by, of family and old recipes. I miss those days very much. My grandmother, aunts and uncles, cousins and sitting in the yard talking about anything that caught their fancy. Thanks for the memories. My mother made fried pies just like that.
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.
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.
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!)
My fiance laughs when I say that I'll go wherever he wants or needs to for work. The only restriction is that I have to be able to buy White Lily, or order it. The man loves biscuits and gravy. He's not about to argue on this.
You could drizzle icing on the top or the sweet hand pies for a dessert, especially for company. What a treat, and different than a usual dessert.
I always give the baby biscuits to my dog. She's a 6 month old German wirehaired pointer and just loves my biscuits. Thank you for the simple recipe, mine is pretty involved. I was looking for something easier for when I'm in a rush!
I was so greedy, after making your biscuits I ate 2 of them with butter and jam - it was after dinner!!!! so good and so easy to make - I have 4 left that I will give to Valerie (my daughter) tomorrow -thank you very much Tipper, your explanation was so easy to follow - Au revoir
Ms Tipper you never fail to bring back memories, God Bless you and Thank you for sharing. Mom always made DROPPED BISCUITS , HOUND EARS, DUMPLINGS & ROLLED BISCUITS from the same recipe💞. That’s a WELL SEASONED (LOVED) pan 👌🏻💞
I'm glad you've got those good memories 😀
Wow, my mom did all these, i especially. loved the drop~ biscuits, so crunchy on the sides. she did the pies, i loved the blueberry, apple ones, she worked at a doughnut shop, it's so easy, and it makes me miss my mom, it makes me want to bake, cold, ugh!!, Waiting for winter days, when i go to my cabin. Thanks for my memories. :)
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
Wonderful! Thank you 😀
What amazes me is, the simple recipe, self rising flour and cream, is the same thing as self rising flour, buttermilk, and butter. Cream turns into 2 products, butter and buttermilk! They created more work when they processed the two!
This is timely! I'm making supper for friends on Sunday. I plan to make garlic/chive/cheddar Biscuits!
My ex husband's family were from Tennessee and they taught me how to make biscuits using buttermilk. Oh, they were and are so good. They taught me how to make fried corn and fried green tomatoes. Wonderful down home cooking! Fried pies too.
What temperature do you put the oven on?
We have always called the last mashed together biscuit the mother in law biscuit lol. I don’t know why, I wish I could ask my sweet grandma. Thank you for your videos, they bring my family joy.
Just made the biscuits for breakfast this morning and they are wonderful!! I’ve been making buttermilk biscuits for years but these are so easy and the texture and taste are great. My husband’s exact words were “you can put these biscuits on the table anytime!” High praise 😅. Thanks for another wonderful recipe.
Wonderful!
I really like hanging out with you on your cooking videos /this may sound sad but today I just remembered my mother who has NPD(narcissistic personality disorder )which makes them really mean/ would never let me go near her in the kitchen and didn't want me to learn how to cook from her/would tell me to go away, I think watching your videos is very healing for my heart/getting to see the family I never got to experience enjoying life warms my heart, your such a good momma/wife/daughter, I love it /thank you Tipper!
Bless your heart! I'm so sorry you and your mother had those experiences. I'm glad you enjoy my cooking 😀
God bless you, Mrs.Pressley. Your channel is making a difference in this hateful, sin sick world. 🙏👍🙏
I love the idea of the baked hand pie. My mind is going a kajillion mph with all the possibilities for fillings - both savory and sweet!
My Mammaw Hazel always had that left over part of the biscuit dough and called it the Danny-Doo….because her son Danny loved to eat that part. He passed away when he was 7 but Mammaw always made the Danny-Doo still and put it on the plate with her biscuits. Sweet memories!
So bittersweet!! Thank you for sharing.
I loved watching you make the biscuits. We really didn't have them growing up except, and this is a big except, when my mother made a stew. They she'd make what we called "dropped biscuits" that she dropped into the stew. They were delicious.
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
My granny made amazing biscuits and gravy. We often say it would appear she had nothing to cook but she would go in the kitchen and whip up a huge breakfast, including biscuits and gravy and enough for 15 people.
Love that!
My mom always called the last biscuit the "wad" biscuit because it was the last little wad of dough. Greetings from a beautiful warm North Mississippi.
Love that-the wad biscuit 😀 That makes perfect sense 😀
I'm from Appalachia, too. Lee County, VA, but presently living in Indiana. My granny made so many biscuits and always left some dough (probably enough for about 3 regular biscuits) and she called it a "pone." I love these biscuits with butter and pancake syrup, sausage or bacon gravy, or cocoa gravy that my granny made for us.
My goodness, they all look delicious! I had never seen this way of making biscuits. I will just go ahead and say it, I am a very good cook, but do struggle with making consistently good biscuits. I cannot wait to try your recipe with just the flower and cream. Watching you I can tell that you have made these many many times as you are very sure of yourself. That is how my grandmother was. She had 12 children so you know that she did a lot of cooking!
I absolutely LOVE how genuinely you enjoy the food you make :) Warms my heart!
I could watch you make biscuits all day🤗
I make my biscuits this way also or sometimes I use shortening n buttermilk, cut out sometimes or rolled .... Our family loves homemade biscuits, dumplings, fried pies, etc.
I love watching your videos ❤
Thank you 😀
We always called the leftover dough a dough boy. My Grandmother taught me to make biscuits with just self rising flour and buttermilk. 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.
I love making drop biscuits, they are so easy and come out every time. I bake em in muffin tins, cause I like the shape. Nothing better than hot biscuits and butter and jam for breakfast!
I have made these simple biscuits SO MANY TIMES now, since learning them from you. It's so nice to have such an easy option, especially when time gets away from me (last minute). I am thrilled to have a couple more easy variations, will definitely be adding some cheese etcetera and I know my husband's going to love them. THANK YOU TIPPER!
Thank you SO much for a beautiful memory! My great grandmother made biscuits like those! Fresh cream from the cow they had… it is truly one of life’s delights! With homemade butter? To die for♥️I love how certain things stir that bittersweet feeling and comfort zone in ones heart and tummy❣️Love coming to visit you Tipper! You are a feel- good for me… sending love and peace and health to you and yours always♥️☮️‼️XXOOSue
Yes! I've been dying for some good biscuits. Thank you for this recipe!
Miss Tipper, please take this comment as the compliment it is intended to be, but your cooking videos remind me of my PaPa and MaMa so much it often brings me to tears.
Though my family isn't from the Appalachia region, most and especially my paternal grandparents, were from the boot heel/oazrk area of Missouri. The Ozarks shares a rich heritage with Appalachia mountain people, because they were largely the ones who migrated and settle the Ozark area in Missouri and Arkansas. Lots of the words/slang you use I grew up hearing as well because of my PaPa and MaMa and that kin.
So when I watch your cooking videos, memories come flooding back to me of my PaPa and Mama's kitchen and how/what they cooked.
Man what I wouldn't give to taste some of their food again! Almost makes we want pop over to your neck of woods and be at one of your suppers or pot luck meals. Haha
LOVE these videos of yours ma'am!
Thank you so much 😀
I learned how to make biscuits from watching you and it changed my life. Well, it at least saved me from ever making bad biscuits again.
😀
I love that bowl your making the biscuits in. Also, after I tried your biscuit recipe, I haven’t gone back. I have 4 grown sons that beg me to make them some for the road when they visit.
Well...
I'll bet those'r some warm and bright Sons...
I'm so glad you all enjoy the recipe 😀
@@phillipgreene2564 They are. My world🥰
TexasWare mixing bowls....no longer made. Ebay?
My Maw Maw had a mixing bowl like that too. Not sure what happened to it.
I ❤️your baking sheet! I have a lid and a cake pan that was part of a cooking set I bought 50 years ago for my “hope chest”. They were coated with the avocado green color which has since totally disappeared! They are “wonky “ too and are so dear to me 🥰
Hey Tipper, My husband wanted me to write and tell you something. I had to wait till I got straightened up after watching Corrie & Austin's wedding video. Whewwww, tear jerker for sure, lol. I'm so happy for them. Good grief you would have thought it was one of my kids getting married, lol. Ok, anyway, I made your biscuits with self-rising flour and heavy cream. I've tried every biscuit recipe you could imagine and they mostly came out heavy and on the dry side. BUT......I made yours this morning, and he said that they were the BEST biscuits that he had ever eaten! They were awful good, nice and light and moist. I'll never make them any other way (might try buttermilk one day). I'm 62 years old and it took me this long to make a good biscuit, lol. Thanks again!
So nice to see you use same recipe for all your beautiful baked items. Yum!
I like Red lobster biscuits, too. May have to try this easy recipe for them. Thank you, Tipper
Those cheddar biscuits were delicious! But I remember the hush puppies they used to make before those and was so disappointed when they made the switch! Wish I had a recipe for those too! As a kid red lobster was our yearly dinner out growing up after income tax refunds came, otherwise we never ate out.
My mom would let me have the baby biscuit . I've never made biscuits with whipping cream I think I'll try them. I'm watching at12:53 am and your making me hungry for gravy and biscuits 😋
😀
Oh my goodness, Tipper, all those variations on a biscuit look wonderful! You are making me hungry. You certainly are a first class cook, making everything look so simple! I have tasted all of these that you make and they are all good, I can't pick one that I like best!
You go girl!
Ohh, Tipper. I wish I lived in a house close to your holler. I'd bring you the flour and cream to make biscuits for me.😃
Watching you enjoy those yummy baked goodies was a killin me here. 🤣🤣
You sure can make food look WONDERFUL the way you eat.
My Mama always told me to cover my mouth after I took a bite of something and keep my hand over my mouth while I chewed. I was a grown up adult woman before I could stop doing that. I just love the facial enjoyment I see when you eating those biscuits. Thank you so much. This was a great way to end my day. ❤
One of my daughter in-laws said “ I had no idea you could make biscuits with flour 🤦🏻♀️ My poor son lol
😀
😅
😂😂😂😂😂
I’m late to watching the video but that was hilarious!
😮
Tipper new here lovely your channel..im in Alabama and don't know how to make buiscuts other than canned and kroger bakery isn't the best I watched and learned I just did this thing and my goodness I can't thank you enough..im 53 and disabled its hard for me to do most things i brought a chair into kitchen and figured it out fast bench flour is very important I found out and they turned out lovely..and I tried your cube steak recipe in the crock pot and that was delish.. 1 of my secrets when making meatloaf for the bread and seasonings I use a box of stove top savory dressin mix dry work it in it turns out great. I'm sure you have heard of it if not give it a try sometime time u have a subscriber for life dear. Have a blessed day!!!
Welcome and thank you! So glad you enjoyed the biscuits 😀
I couldn't make biscuits like my mom either. I watched your earlier video when you talked about your biscuits and I tried your easy recipe and that's how I make my biscuits now! So good!! I'm definitely going to try the cheese and garlic biscuits and the hand pies too!
Wonderful! 😀
Enjoyed pie making again…made apple and love it!,
Right on time! I found some White Lilly flour today and have some heavy whipping cream already. Will try your biscuit recipe in the morning along with my tomato gravy. Thank you Tipper
I’m so glad my Daddy’s mother did the pies and biscuits I’m not sure how she did them but they were the best they lived in a small town called Ft Blackmore Va and I learned a little bit growing up with her and my other Grandmother who lived in Waynesboro Tn taught me to make fried pies and my son made me so proud he made apple and peach pies I’m 64 he’s 41 happy Mommy that and always
The biscuits and other recipes look delicious! So easy......my favorite kind......once you master the texture of the dough. I will surprise my family. And with sausage gravy. 😋😋. Thank you for the tutorial and sharing your recipes. 🌺🌺
Southern Biscuit Formula L and buttermilk is another good 2 ingredient biscuit recipe. That's what I use. Thanks Tipper.
Thank you so much for showing us how to make biscuits, and the hand pies. I did not grow up with a mother who did those things. She worked full time and was gone all day. I learned so much today! I appreciate seeing it done. Thank you SO much!
Thanks, Tipper. Brought back memories of Mama. She also used her biscuit dough for chicken n dumplings. Glenda Sue (Bryson City and New Hampshire)
Gosh, these all look delicious 😋…I’m definitely going to try the cheddar garlic biscuits, especially when I make my chicken casserole….I usually use a box of the Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuit mix….to put on top of my simple chicken casserole….I bet these will be even better…And those hand pies looks mighty good too…🤗
My Ma would make Chocolate Pies for our school lunches - until WW2 when they started a kitchen and gave us breakfast and lunch. I always wondered how she made them. It took to 89 years of age to find out from you - thank you. I "remember and understand" Appalachian but can't "speak" it anymore. Phyllis
Hello Tipper, from Los Angeles. I've never made biscuits or really baked before, but your recipe seemed definitely doable, so I made the whipping cream biscuits for Easter. And they turned out awesome. Everyone was floored. The texture, airiness, and the taste was just amazing. Gave you full credit, of course. Thank you so much for the recipe and baking tips. Totally love your work. Now, I'm going to buy a cast iron pan to make your corn bread. And go to extra spin classes!
Wonderful!
I just stumbled across your channel and have really enjoyed it. I have been around Charlotte for many, many years. My great grandfather came down to Spartanburg from Sylva in the 20s to work in the cotton mills. I was raised in Texas and am reminded of my grandmother and great grand mother who could make everything from a quilt to the best fried chicken. We are all from rural country and these women grew up poor. Thank you for your hard work. Matt, Tipper has the prettiest eyes and is a hard workin woman. Fortunate family.
Welcome Jim and thank you!!
It’s like you read my mind! I just made your biscuits and chocolate gravy video last night!
How funny too, because I made half my biscuits regular, and half my biscuits with garlic and cheddar cheese, Red Lobster style!
Great minds think alike 😀
Mama would give me the little left over bit of dough and I would make it into little 'biscuits' and push them into a little metal toy pan i had and put them in the oven. You can imagine in that thin little pan by the time I was done with them they were hard little things but Daddy ate them anyway for me. He ate all my tries at learning to cook. Poor Daddy. I love those cheese biscuits too. I will have to try making them. 👍Mama used biscuit dough to make her dumplins too. Great video! I can see I will be making biscuits in the morning. Yall have a good weekend. One more week !!
oh boy I gotta make me some of those savory cheese biscuits now. I've been wanting to try some chocolate gravy too. White Lily is my ultimate favorite flour and corn meal, it makes the best fluffy biscuits. I use my mamaws biscuit cutter that she made from an old tin can years and years ago. Those old well worn blackened baking pans are priceless!!!
Amen sister. You have missed one of life’s simple pleasures if you haven’t eaten a warm biscuit covered in homemade chocolate gravy. We ate that way in West Tennessee when I was a child. Fond memories.
I could watch you cook all day long! I do a decent White Lily self rising flour and cream biscuit. My 17yo daughter makes them even better! I don’t know what her magic is, but she has it for sure!
My Mom use to make the chocolate gravy for us on Christmas and that was a nice memory. My Mom was from eastern Kentucky in Bell county, and I love your channel because a lot of the things you cook is like the food I had growing up. They were good times. She grew up in a small cabin with dirt floors and they cooked on a wood stove. When we would go back there to visit her family I would see her younger teenage cousins cooking on that wood stove, I was so amazed! They were right upside their hill ( some might call it a mountain lol). But they had gardens and grew food in that rocky soil, that was another thing that amazed me. They were hard working folk and tough minded cause they had to be. The last time I went to visit the holler most of the people were gone from there and only a few cousins remained. The little ol cabins caved in or removed. But it still floods down there every spring. Memories.
Love those memories 😁
Thank you! Love biscuits but never knew there was such an easy way to make good ones.
You're a great teacher!
Tipper, I love your videos. I’m not even from Appalachia, but your cooking videos especially make me feel like I’m in the kitchen with family.
I'm so glad 😀
Enjoyed watching your video so much! I’ve mastered corn and flour tortillas as our main meals are Mexican food. Didn’t grow up having home cooked bread products so I’m having to learn new skills at 72 years of age to widen my prepping skills. I have bread down with a simple enough for me recipe but the biscuit videos I’d see looked very intimidating but you made this recipe that looks simple enough and I love how you said it was pretty fool proof given when it has been over handled by your students!
I have never heard of chocolate gravy before and just couldn’t imagine it over food until I saw how you used it over your biscuit, lol! My husband will enjoy that for sure! Thank you for educating me and countless others!
Thank you for this simple biscuit recipe. I’m a transplant from Michigan and had no idea how to make biscuits. I tried and tried to make biscuits with buttermilk and cutting in the shortening. They never worked out. Made some two ingredient biscuits this morning and the family if just going nuts over them! Thank you, thank you!
Wonderful!
I have tried out your biscuit recipe four or five times now and it is wonderful! I even made some tiny little biscuits with a salt shaker lid… I was thinking they would be perfect for an hors d’oeuvre kind of thing. I can’t wait to try the garlic cheese biscuits and the pies! Thank you so much!
I used to love sitting on the countertop watching my momma make biscuits (she was a pinch, roll and pat girl). However, when I was around 16, I smarted off to her about something and ended up with a mouth full of biscuit dough, so I can't stand to even taste a pinch of raw dough anymore, LOL. BTW, I didn't know Momma could move that fast, I definitely deserved it, and I thanked her for it later. Take care and keep these great videos coming.
Your biscuits look so good! I wish I could get some of the White Lilly flour. I remember my mother buying it a few times over the years, but now that I live in the Midwest, I cannot get it here. Thank you for sharing your recipes/methods!
How do you spell flume.. the baby biscuit? Those 3 things you have made from one biscuit dough is 👏👏💯💯✔️✔️💕. Lordy I’ve gained 10 lbs just watching. Love you beautiful lady and your precious girls, husband and granny. Blessings to all.
Thank you Rachel 😀 It's flumlolly 😀
Thank you for keeping our heritage alive and well. It is always awesome to see fellow Appalachian people come out and show our culture in such a positive light.
I'm the baby and I loved loved getting the baby biscuit dough, when I started working if Mom made biscuits while I was gone,she'd wrap it up and leave it for me to eat when I got in from work. Yummy yummy
Thank you very much for this video! I am biscuit challenged, and this looks like a good candidate recipe for me! And for the first time, I think baked hand pies may be do-able!
One of each of today's quick breads and I'd have a meal. Yum. 🤠
We had biscuits and chocolate gravy for breakfast every morning. I made that for breakfast on holidays. I still make it for my daughters and grand daughters.
As soon as you said easy, I thought that’s my kind of recipe! I for sure will try all 3😋 Thank you🧡I see blueberry hand pies in my future!!🫐
We call it the baby biscuit 😊. We are from South central Virginia and North central North Carolina. I have my Granny's cast iron skillets!!
My family lived in Gainesville GA!!! It was the mid 1970's. I was excited to hear you mention it. ❤ Much love to you and your family.
Biscuit Bonanza! My Mama made her biscuits like yours did, but I never learned that method either. My first husband worked for theWhite Lily Flour Company in Knoxville and the employees were given test kitchen primer cookbooks. That's where I learned. I'll have to try your version with of the cheese garlic biscuits with cream! That would have to be the best! I really enjoyed your video!
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! 😍♥️♥️
Great baking tutorial for us nonbakers. I'll definitely try these recipes. Especially the garlic cheese biscuits. Thanks.
In the French section of Switzerland, they have a similar bread with Swiss chocolate bar inside, it's called" Pain Au Chocolat ", to me it's addictive.
I have to stop watching these, they make me hungry….even when I’m full!
My go to biscuit recipe is a drop biscuit. I use an ice scoop to drop them on my pan. They aren’t huge, but they are cute and uniform. And I’m lazy, so I love that the scoop does all the work for me. :~)
I also use a medium-sized ice cream scoop to make drop biscuits.
I also use drop biscuit dough, to top my fresh fruit cobblers. 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.
I made the biscuits this morning and they were without a doubt the best I have ever made. I was so happy and a little sad at the same time because I had to wait until I was 52 to hear of this recipe. 😉 THANK YOU!
So glad you enjoyed them!
