Hi everyone! Just to clarify for those who are coming to this video that are not from the US. This is an American style southern drop biscuit, which is very similar to a scone. American biscuits typically call for buttermilk while scones often use cream. Scones also often contain egg while American biscuits do not. These are typically eaten as a side dish to a meal or slathered in sausage gravy for a meal on their own. What people in England (and some other parts of the world) call a "biscuit" is what Americans call a "cookie". Hope that helps!
Baker Bettie i tried your recipe and
I love it so yummy .And very easy recipe
Gotcha! Thanks. I often make scones, my my did too when we suddenly ran out of bread, but never biscuits. Going to give it a try.
Hi! I'm from south africa and would like to know how many degrees celcius is 450 degrees Fahrenheit?
Hi Ivan! 450 F is about 230 C. If you go to the written recipe all of metric measurements are written out! bakerbettie.com/self-rising-flour-biscuits/
Tried this recipe and suffice it to say, NO MORE CANNED BISCUITS FOR ME! These came out perfect and recipe is super easy to follow! Thank you for sharing your recipe🤗🤗🤗🤗
Honey!!! Thank you soo much ..I truly can’t say enough ..one of the first things I learned to make was a homemade buttermilk biscuit but!! I had to take a break from making them do to life’s complicated things so I’ve been trying to succeed on my biscuits for 9! Years!! I finally said forget it and I’ve settled for frozen since but!!! I finally gave and look for a recipe similar to what was taught to me and came across this one AND PRAISE THE LORD AND THIS LADY I made beautiful biscuits today using this recipe...I thank you my hubby thanks you and my girls thank you ...but my waistline doesn’t lol 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Yes, Praise the LORD. I'm so excited, I hate the can biscuits my hubby keeps buying to make my life easy as I'm able complicated. But wow this looks likes I can do it.
The best thing about TH-cam recipes is you can do EXACTLY what they say and then look at your mix and say, wait... her mix is wetter than mine. Added a little more milk and VOILA.
i feel like this is revolutionary. thank you so much. why is this so foolproof/easy. i couldn’t believe it. we don’t really have these types of biscuits in the uk we call those scones but they’re not sweet so i put 1/4 cup sugar in mine to make them scones. this is amazing thanks again 💓
Making biscuits for the very 1st time in all my 50 years of life! 🤣Trying this right now 👏
I really love how clear and detailed your recipes are and especially the substitutions part as sometimes I don't have everything at hand and I am dying to try your recipes!!
it's 3am and I just stumbled upon this video and I'm feeling very tempted to get up and make them right now... I mean I know I can't but they just look so good!!
@Cilla Killah Awwww. It’s not too late or early. Baking is fun at anytime of night or day.
I'm a big lug of a guy who can't boil water without hurting himself.
I made these and they were great!
Here in Oregon, I'm adding my herbal ingredient to give it a blast...They are GRRRRRREAT!
Garlic and shredded cheddar added to the mix make an AMAZING biscuit!
@@irisheyesofbelfast 😲 How much did you add? Now you caught my attention..An you an your family be safe out here..😋
Beanetrice McDaniel well just think because of this wonderful coronavirus a lot of us are going to become better bakers we might even learn how to speak another language.
I made these today for my family and they LOVED them! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
This was my first time ever making biscuits😭and they taste like home💕thank you so much! I used 1% milk and I had to add like 1/2 cup more, but it was lovely!
I had no whole milk at one time except the one percent and I felt my biscuits tasted better and came out higher and fluffier then just whole milk, but I don't add flour after mixing the dough. I don't roll it out with. I flour my hands and form it into balls then press down and put in oven or the skillet. I feel all that flour people use on the dough keeps them from rising. The more moisture in the dough, the higher and fluffier they will be. The best.
In England this is a scone, we eat them, especially in the summer, with jam and cream (and sometimes strawberries!) Yours look delicious! x
I thought scones were more firm or hard??...these (biscuits) are very soft and fluffy 😊
@@justcallmebetty7717 I guess that depends on who bakes them ( mine could be utilised for house building!), but the ingredients are basically identical. x
Yes these are scones but in America we call them biscuits. While Brits call cookies biscuits.
I tried this recipe for dinner this evening. Oooooo Mmmmmmm Gggggggggg. These biscuits are screamin’ good. I didn’t have any buttermilk or vinegar so used whole milk. Some of the lightest, most tender biscuits I have had since my great grandmother made me biscuits in 1964; I am 69 yo. This is a keeper recipe in my recipe box of hand written recipes. Yum, yum, yum. Buying buttermilk on my next grocery run.
Thank you so much for sharing.
You can make your own buttermilk. That's how I do it because I would hate to waste any if I didn't find other uses for it.
@@irisheyesofbelfast ½ teaspoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to ½ cup milk. Fake butter milk you find in the supermarket.
Real buttermilk make your own butter at home the remaining liquid is the truth.
The absolute best biscuits I have ever made/eaten... and I am in my 60's!!! Thank you for this amazing recipe... and SO darn easy... Best combo in cooking... easy AND superb!
I've never seen anybodu just scoop them out like that, this just blew my mind😍. I'm definitely trying this method next❤
I tried these biscuits using 1% milk and they still turned out great! This recipe saved me a trip to the store when we were craving biscuits and gravy :) very good
@@BakerBettie They were soo good, I ate two before I even buttered them, lol! I love how easy this recipe was. TFS!
I was craving biscuits and gravy as well, and here I am making them with 2% milk! Thanks for the recipe, and the comments!!
Made this two times already. Turned out perfect. Never attempting to make biscuits any other way again lol
Just made these crunchy on the outside and a pillow on the inside so easy to make WOW!
Thanks for this simple recipe. I made them today. My family loved them.
I made these and they turned out amaaaaaaazing😍😍😍 crunchy from the outside and soft from the inside 😋 I also added some honey to the butter for topping, thank you so much 🥰
I just made these biscuits and they were the easiest and lightest biscuits I have made. simple and terrific!! Thank you.
Finally i watched a bunch of videos following every step and they just didnt work this work very proud of myself and very thankful for this video
Great recipe! I used my cast iron skillet on the stove top, oven out!! A low heat made great fried drop biscuits!!😊
can I just use a cast iron skillet if I don't have an oven? do I have to cover it up with a lid? thanks
I make my biscuits that way but I never thought of using an ice cream scoop genius
Ziggy If you want really good biscuits, first sift
your flour! It puts air in your flour making best tasting biscuits. Second use Crisco shortening and milk. Mix thoroughly with your hands to get more air in them. It makes them light & fluffy. They are much better when you need them with your fingers. That’s where the love comes into the recipe!
I have made these biscuits many times.... They always come out perfect. Make sure to use that King Arthur flour it makes a difference.
Thank you, I have been looking for a easy biscuit recipe, and I have finally found yours! Now,I should be able to accomplish this awesome recipe! 🙏🙏
Awesome video. I'm going right now to the kitchen with my daughter and show her she can make homemade biscuits! She's 12.
@Melissa Ann Great Momma/Daughter quality time. But be careful, the baking bug will bite her & she’ll want to bake everyday-lol.
Nice to see a simple recipe with no rolling pin and cutter! Keeper!
I use this recipe everytime I want some good biscuits! Thank you for posting this recipe. You helped everyone out! 👍
You are such a WONDERFUL and EXPERIENCED CHEF! I've NEVER made biscuits before because of all the work involved. This is no longer the case. You are a blessing! Thank you for sharing.
I'm so glad you feel confident enough to try them! That is so great to hear!
Ok so I recently made these biscuits. Well....they were AMAZING. Oh my goodness. They were so darn delicious! My family and I were beside ourselves with pleasure. So buttery! I didn't have self-rising flour so I used all purpose and added the salt and baking powder. I added a little more than 1 cup of milk . The mixture was wet but not too wet. Use an ice cream scoop measure and cooked them in a cast iron skillet like she does in the video. Brushed them with melted butter once they were baked to a light golden brown. Oh my!!!!! Thanks BB.
Mine turned out great!!! Been trying different ways. Staying with this one❤ And love that I can just drop them!!
Can you add baking powder and salt, to AP flour, instead of using self rising flour. Your biscuits look wonderful. Thank you.
I would think so. My Mother & Grandmother used self rising flour in biscuits and practically everything that I knew about and they baked everyday 😋 the Best fried chicken ever & they made everything from scratch cakes, pies, cookies, etc . But they never worked outside of their home 💗 I wasn't that fortunate 😉 Except Holidays and I was usually too tired Lol raising 3 children and working was enough for me !!! But I miss those days 💗
I am going to try to make these though, and use 1% milk 😋 they used buttermilk 😉 Since I'm retired I've been trying to bake a little bit and I'm Sorry that I just realized that your post is 1 month old ..
My mother made biscuits this way. The best! Thank you for providing the substitution for self- rising flour. Awesome presentation. 🌼
Made this and my husband loved it!! Making it for the second time now!!! Thank you!! Super easy and yum!!!
A very good recipe and made in a dutch oven surrounded by hot coals in a campfire in the snow - Northern New Mexico .
I didn't have self rising flour . 1 1/2 cups regular flour + 1 1/2 tsp baking powder + 1/4 tsp salt = self raising flower .
Thanks for your video Bettie and hope your holiday season is great .
Tried your recipe with chopped raisins. Presoaked in hot water for 1 min.....added it to the final mixture.....awesome.Thank you
Thank you. This is really easy. I appreciate that u put in the substitute because all I had was all purpose flour.
I have made these over more than a dozen times!!! They are delicious!! Thank you so much for the recipe!!!!!❤️
THANK YOU
THIS THE WAY POPEYES USED TO MAKE THEIR BISCUITS ❤❤❤❤
Hiya... I just made this.. my son and we ate it with jam and peanut butter... your recipes are amazing..thank you so much❣️
I did this with almond milk and a TBSP of lemon juice in it since I didn't have buttermilk. They were very good! Thanks for sharing the recipe with us! 💛💙💚🧡💜
You can bake just about anything if you have self rising flour. I mix cup flour, one egg, 1/2 cup sugar, small can peaches, 1/2 cup milk, bake at 350 for 25 min and I have something sweet to go with my coffee. Oh you can add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla you can do this with banana or apples. Good.
Thank you so nice to watch a baking show and actually get the recipe have a great day
Very nice. I tried another batch with grated cheese mixed in and extra on the top before baking, and they were also very nice.
Great easy recipe...my family enjoyed them....I will be making this again. Thanks for sharing it!
This is a great recipe. And versatile. One can add fried onions/ chopped olives/ cheese etc to the biscuits.
If scones are called for, then adding a little more flour will do the trick.
Omg!!! Using a scoop is GREAT idea 😱
I followed this reci po e to the T including bake timeand they came out delicious thank you so much my family loved them🥟
I’ve ruined many batches of homemade biscuits but this is the first time they’ve turned out amazing thanks so much!!!
Wow..... I am not good at baking..I tried this and it was so yumm... crunchy outside soft inside.. I think I can bake as well.. Thank you for boosting my morale with this perfect recipe.. bless u..
Haha. I see your video was posted 6 years ago and today I needed to find a quick easy biscuit recipe and I found you! Thank you for posting I am only sorry now it took me this long to find you. I will be checking out your other recipes, I am really impressed with your biscuit recipe. Thank you again and Happy Thanksgiving!!
Thank you. Quick and not complicated at all. Love this. Trying it this week.
I havent made these since the 70's. Mm mm cant wait to make some.
Wow lovely so easy n simple recipe specially for beginners n even for grown up kids 🌹🙏🌹
I always add sugar to my biscuits to give them a bit of sweetness, especially with the buttermilk - it really livens up the flavor
i have made these before and that is a fact jack they are that easy to make and pretty tasty , and the great part is very little clean up all in 1 bowl
Easiest recipe I've seen yet. Wow. Thank you so very much ❤️
These look like Church's Chicken biscuits, which I love. 🥰
*Update* I made these biscuits and they are absolutely incredible yet so simple to make. I simply buttered some and they are so delicious. I also made a honey butter to use on others. OH MYYY!!! These are better than Church's and this is coming from a girl who pulls into the drive thru only to order two biscuits and nothing else. 🤭
Thanks, TH-cam, for giving me a great recommendation that I didn't search. This one is a winner. 👍🏾I'm not a baker but I subscribed to support and will check out other videos.
Made these twice in the last couple of weeks.
They turned out good.
Wife loved them.
So easy.
This is my 24th day of #stayathome a.k.a quarantine day. My kitchen is my work place now. This biscuit is super easy to make and so tempting that I want to try and bake it tonite. And is already 9.15pm 🤭
Sooooo easy, I love them! They turn out great each time I have made them. I am baking some today to go with a pot of split pea and I plan to add some honey, too! Yum!
I always used these ingredients been doing it for over 20 years. Nice and fluffy tasting biscuits. Yes they are better when you don't kneed the dough.
Wow. Definitely trying your recipe. Others are too complicated and you have to roll and fold etc. Thank you
I cooked and loved them...I will never make them like my Mom did on a wood stove with just Lard and Water...they were soft and fluffy on the inside and nice and brown on the outside ...but these were close
They sound wonderful Celia! You can definitely use lard in these. Or if you want a more traditional lard biscuit I have a recipe for them here: bakerbettie.com/old-fashioned-lard-biscuits/
You’re going to have a line out the door! Everyone’s going to fall in love with you... these looks so good!
I made these this morning and they turned out great. They were soft and delicious. Thanks!
Was urgently needing to find a recipe to use the self rising flour. Came across thisvideo. Very thankful for you taking the time to post. I did modify the ingredients slightly. Added 1 egg, 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese, and a half cup more of milk... let's just say they came out to be a very great copycat of a very known seafood restaurant lol... Thanks a bunch.
Few things are as satisfying as homemade biscuits from the oven. They are simple enough to make--and these drop style biscuits all the more so. You will never settle for a canned biscuit again...no matter how cute the dough boy! Making some alterations (with egg) allow you to make dumplings for beef or chicken stew or with sugar for cobbler biscuits for summer's fruit bounty.
best quick and delicious recipe!!! Fluffy and buttery for sure!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!!
Wow!! These look great!! No layering or rolling out the dough??? Looks so simple! I definitely will be trying it this way!
Yes! Drop biscuits make such easy work of biscuits! Love the traditional way too, but these are so great in a pinch!
Love this method..........scoop.......genuis!!
I just made these delicious😋😋 perfect biscuits by myself so if they didn't come out right...nobody would know but me😦😧😟.....but oh YES😳 .....they turned out surprisingly delicious😋😋....even I couldnt mess up your EASY reciept...but these delicious biscuits came out good💯 the first time...they are so light and fuffy... I have never made any biscuits before..I will be making these biscuits for my family soon.....you have made me happy🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊THANKS FOR SHARING💓
Hi Brenda! I'm so glad you enjoyed these and that they turned out so well for you!
Omg! Just tried your recipe. It was a hit! So fluffy and delicious! And let’s not forget super easy.
tried this only did 2 cups made 8. I used honey butter on top, I baked recommended time but mine an extra 2 mins. so good tho.
Thank you for that 3 ingredient how to make biscuits that was really good I want to try that one thanks for sharing
I made biscuits using your recipe and I have to tell you they were the best biscuits I've ever made!
I, just baked those biscuits, ; 3 ingredients, y come out really good, thank you!!
I had a girlfriend in Florida many years ago who made the best biscuits--high, light, fluffy, delicious. I asked her for the recipe, but instead she came to my house to show me how to do it, bringing along just three ingredients: self-rising flour, buttermilk and lard (not Crisco). But she was a "dump cook" who did it by feeling the ingredients, so I never did catch on and I never did learn to make good biscuits--and I love me a good biscuit, with or without gravy!
So now it's just me and my widowed father, and he has never liked biscuits. If he did I'd experiment with every recipe until I found one that he liked. I can't make a batch for myself because I'd eat them all in one sitting and have no one to share them with. But I love looking at the recipes on TH-cam and dreaming of making biscuits!
Thank you for sharing your recipe! I tried your recipe this morning but made some substitutions. We didn't have milk or buttermilk on hand. So I used oat milk instead. Sounds odd but it worked! The biscuits came out great! Happy New Year!
Thank You Baker Bettie, just made this wonderful simple recipe and they are a hit!
OH!!!WOW OH!!!YES BEAUTIFUL❤ BISCUITS LOOKS VERY 😋DELICIOUS AND YUMMY😋
Thank you! I just made biscuits! With ice scoop! Love this !! Never been one to make biscuits! This great for me. Simple
I use the same basic recipe, sometimes lard instead of butter, and use a table spoon ( heaping tablespoon ) Probably comes out to about the same ( quarter cup ) and just drop them on a greased pan or in a cast iron skillet. The biscuits are a little smaller, the kids like them that way, but they still make good biscuits and not as small as some would think. We always called them drop biscuits.
thank you I made them and they turned out perfect!!
Dang! This looks easy and great. Other recipes have you going through a Michael Bay adventure. Thanks!
Thank you so much. You make baking fun. This is my go to recipe. They are so good.
I made these again this morning, I added Old Bay seasoning, cheddar cheese annd parmesan cheese. I then used hot Italian sausage in my gravy and it was DELICIOUS! Thank you for making this recipe so simple...it seems like something that would take much longer to make.
How many biscuits? I get about six. Italian sausage? I think I used two, out of the casing, depends on how you want it.
Thank you! I tried these gluten free with her oven bake 18 mins method, and they worked just as well as stove top. Finally, a quick, light bread substitute which works gluten free! 💐
Jamie Campbell do you have a gluten free recipe for these? I scrolled through feed but didn’t see it
Judy Harms-Wiebe I just made a straight swop with my usual gluten free Self-Raising flour and it worked perfectly . I used half the measures Bettie gave and maybe added a tad more milk. This gave six small buns/ biscuits. Same baking time. So
Just over 1 cup GF flour into which incorporate 2 oz cold, cubed butter. When the look of coarse meal is achieved, add half a cup of buttermilk or soured milk. (Add a little more if your GF flour makes it necessary.) Mix in the milk quickly and stop as soon as the dough consistency is achieved, sufficient to hold together as a bun. Divide into six buns and bake 18 minutes at 210. Celcius (my oven). Allow to cool before eating. Basically the same recipe, just gluten free ingredients.
I keep mine in the freezer and microwave them 30 seconds, turn over and another 30seconds from frozen. The soured milk, I make with one tablespoon of white vinegar. Add a little milk and stand for a few minutes. Add rest of milk.
Hope this helps.
That is so easy making for your recipe and now I'm going to try it and I'll let you know how it turns out thank you again
Just made these !!! They came out good !!!
I made these today with buttermilk and they were good. I kept tasting something tangy though. I think I should have shaken the buttermilk really good prior to pouring. Next time I will add some honey butter for a bit of sweetness. This will be my new recipe.
Just made them!! Delicious!! I love your recipes!! They always work great for me!!
Made these this morning and they were absolutely delicious and so easy! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. This will be a staple for our family now.
