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....
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.
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!
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.
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.
@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.
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!
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 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!
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.
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’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.
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.
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.
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.

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
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🙏🏾😊
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.
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.
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.

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
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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 😁
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
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
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
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!
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
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 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
@@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.
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!
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!
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 UA-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.
I could listen to her talk all day! She sounds just like my grandma that passed 4 years ago. I wish I did this with her. She was the best cook and had so many tips and tricks I could have learned.
I just sat an cried looking at this I miss my granny you may not think of All the things she had to do kids she had to take care of things to do in the 🏠 cook clean love keep everyone happy and still go to church ,sing, sewing Hats and show each and every one of us True Love an on top of it all Love Grandpa too.Hey that's a bit to MUCH LOVE TO SPRAYED AROUND LOVE YOU GRANNY
Loved this video. Took me 3-4 times watching and then i had enough nerve to make them. Had the video on in the kitchen so i could stop and start when needed. Since there wasn’t any measurements I paid close attention to how much she was scooping and pouring to obtain her consistency and holy crap it work and they were excellent. Have to work on my rolling of them, but other than that. Thanks. They were so good that i had to bring some to my neighbor
This is the sweetest video! Makes me miss my Grandmother so much. There is nothing more amazing than a Southern Grandma! They cook with a magic like no other. What a precious video to have!
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.
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%
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.
❤❤❤ This reminds me of my mother in the kitchen making us biscuits whenever we asked her too, I love the look on this lady face teaching you how to make these, y'all are so blessed to have her and thanks for sharing.😊
Its 2020 and I am on youtube to find canning grape jam recipes with my husband. All of a sudden Grandma Johnson's biscuit recipe pops up and we now eat them three times a week at a minimum:)
Oh sweet mama. If I could see my mama's hands full of biscuits one more time. You've made me smile today... and hungry. I'll be trying your method, thank you for sharing
Bless your heart. Keep trusting in Jesus you will be reunited in heaven. I pray that the peace that passes all understanding will abide in your heart. God bless you. ♥️
My Great Granma lived to be 97yes old and made the best biscuit in the world just like this and My Grandma Shorty made the Best Yeast rolls in the universe. Really enjoyed this Video. I miss them both. Glad I learned to make my Great granma biscuits, but I could never Mastered my GRANDMA SHORTY YEAST ROLLS.
Hi, your so lucky to have such a great recipe to pass on. I didn't get the measurements, would you share yours with me. I try so many different but still haven't made the Oh my gosh, I've died and gone to Heaven ones. hehe. 🍞❤🙂
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 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.
Loved this video! This could have been my mother making her biscuits about the same way---no actual measuring, and the grandchildren running through the kitchen and other family in the background----a home obviously filled with love. How I miss those times with her. Thanks for sharing.
Thus brought tears to my eyes reminds me when I use to make biscuits like that with my Aunt!! She taught me how to make them in a white Tupperware bowl just like that one every Sunday!! I Love when the family come together like this!!💕
You took my "sneak" biscuit! That's what my grandmom called those. The extra that I could sneak while waiting to eat. I can smell those biscuits! My Grandmom cooked just like this...she could make a pair of boots taste like filet mignon. This is a fantastic glimpse of how real families operated. Thanks for sharing this memory!
Thank you for sharing this - this is how my grandmother taught me to make biscuits- only she used one bowl- I am going to try two bowls as mine don’t rise as well as hers- She is so very precious! Great memories- My son recently asked me to make biscuits for Thanksgiving and I was showing how to grease the pan just like this sweet lady did! God bless!!
Wow....listening to her reminds me so much of my grandmother. She was an excellent cook and never measured anything...lol. She used to make the best biscuits! They were mini biscuits and would melt in your mouth...along with her homemade blackberry jelly. This video makes me smile. Thank you so much for sharing.
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!
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

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!

I guarantee her family keeps her young too. My family used to be like this. We’re too spread out now.

Too noisy. Couldn’t hear half of what was said!
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.

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.
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 .
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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 😁

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.
She makes biscuits the way my mother used to. What a joy!
There's so much love in this kitchen, I can almost feel it through my phone 🤗
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 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
My God, her accent! I'm in love
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!!!
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's an art! She not only eyeballs, but goes by feel. both my grandmothers cooked the same way. Me, I need to have precise measurements. LOL!
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!
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
Thanks for letting us into your home for a visit & sharing your family. Best video I have seen in ages.
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 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 💖
My mama in Kentucky used to make biscuits just like this! Takes me back in time, miss my mama so much!!!
She’s beautiful. God bless her. I was enjoying watching this.
Your Grandmother has a beautiful spirit. Thank you for sharing her with us.
This is the greatest biscuit making video I’ve ever seen. God bless that woman! 😊
Love the fact that all the family are there going about there business. So sweet. We need more videos like this. God bless.
You just couldn't buy that atmosphere! Beautiful...
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!
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 UA-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.
I could listen to her talk all day! She sounds just like my grandma that passed 4 years ago. I wish I did this with her. She was the best cook and had so many tips and tricks I could have learned.
I just sat an cried looking at this I miss my granny you may not think of All the things she had to do kids she had to take care of things to do in the 🏠 cook clean love keep everyone happy and still go to church ,sing, sewing Hats and show each and every one of us True Love an on top of it all Love Grandpa too.Hey that's a bit to MUCH LOVE TO SPRAYED AROUND LOVE YOU GRANNY
This is how my momma and grandmama made biscuits. I learned from watching them. Delicious every time!
Loved this video. Took me 3-4 times watching and then i had enough nerve to make them. Had the video on in the kitchen so i could stop and start when needed. Since there wasn’t any measurements I paid close attention to how much she was scooping and pouring to obtain her consistency and holy crap it work and they were excellent. Have to work on my rolling of them, but other than that. Thanks. They were so good that i had to bring some to my neighbor
I tried this technique too! They turned out great! So soft and fluffy. I’ll never roll out biscuits again.
Good job y'all!
This is the sweetest video! Makes me miss my Grandmother so much. There is nothing more amazing than a Southern Grandma! They cook with a magic like no other. What a precious video to have!
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.
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.
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.
P
❤❤❤ This reminds me of my mother in the kitchen making us biscuits whenever we asked her too, I love the look on this lady face teaching you how to make these, y'all are so blessed to have her and thanks for sharing.😊
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 Grandma is in her glory. How amazing and priceless for you to have this video. Beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing.
This is awesome thank you for showing me her wonderful love biscuit technique
Its 2020 and I am on youtube to find canning grape jam recipes with my husband. All of a sudden Grandma Johnson's biscuit recipe pops up and we now eat them three times a week at a minimum:)
I've made them twice in two days!
haha thats great!
Oh sweet mama. If I could see my mama's hands full of biscuits one more time. You've made me smile today... and hungry. I'll be trying your method, thank you for sharing
AWE! Diane, I have tears in my eyes from your comment.! XO Big hugs for you, I miss my Mom and my mamaw, they were great cooks!
Bless your heart. Keep trusting in Jesus you will be reunited in heaven. I pray that the peace that passes all understanding will abide in your heart.
God bless you. ♥️
This lady reminds me so much of my grandmother. The whole video is like being with family on Christmas Eve. Love it.
I love your Grandma, when can we come over? Y'all take care of her and say thank you so much for sharing this recipe. God bless you all.
My Great Granma lived to be 97yes old and made the best biscuit in the world just like this and My Grandma Shorty made the Best Yeast rolls in the universe. Really enjoyed this Video. I miss them both. Glad I learned to make my Great granma biscuits, but I could never Mastered my GRANDMA SHORTY YEAST ROLLS.
Hi, your so lucky to have such a great recipe to pass on.
I didn't get the measurements, would you share yours with me. I try so many different but still haven't made the Oh my gosh, I've died and gone to Heaven ones. hehe.
🍞❤🙂
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 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.
Loved this video! This could have been my mother making her biscuits about the same way---no actual measuring, and the grandchildren running through the kitchen and other family in the background----a home obviously filled with love. How I miss those times with her. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like a very nice, solid, and well-balanced family!
Thus brought tears to my eyes reminds me when I use to make biscuits like that with my Aunt!! She taught me how to make them in a white Tupperware bowl just like that one every Sunday!! I Love when the family come together like this!!💕
Just like my grandma use to cook and passed it down to my mother is what a blessed family to have someone like you. God bless you and your family.
You took my "sneak" biscuit! That's what my grandmom called those. The extra that I could sneak while waiting to eat. I can smell those biscuits! My Grandmom cooked just like this...she could make a pair of boots taste like filet mignon.
This is a fantastic glimpse of how real families operated. Thanks for sharing this memory!
We always called that last biscuit "the nubbin" and it was a prize possession indeed!
Thank you for sharing this - this is how my grandmother taught me to make biscuits- only she used one bowl- I am going to try two bowls as mine don’t rise as well as hers-
She is so very precious! Great memories- My son recently asked me to make biscuits for Thanksgiving and I was showing how to grease the pan just like this sweet lady did! God bless!!
Wow....listening to her reminds me so much of my grandmother. She was an excellent cook and never measured anything...lol. She used to make the best biscuits! They were mini biscuits and would melt in your mouth...along with her homemade blackberry jelly. This video makes me smile. Thank you so much for sharing.
This was a treat to see grandma in action she made me miss my grandma she so sweet
They look just like my Mama's biscuits.....I sure do miss them
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!
