Skeptical, but I just made them. Best damn biscuit I have ever eaten. I only changed one thing. After the first 10 min. I put the butter on and cranked it up to 425 for the last 10 min. Thank you for sharing!
Helga! Those BEST BUTTERMILK BISCUITS, look amazing. The texture is wonderful. Good hack on the buttermilk. Works with soya or almond milk too, though not as good probably. Here's to a yummy day to you!
Never tried hand forming biscuits. Biscuits with supper and then with jam for dessert. Or maple syrup. They sure looked good. Thank you for the awesome Cast Iron Wednesday recipe, Helga. Stay safe
@Karen Nelson Yes, you can use a baking pan, or a heavy pie plate or a glass baking dish would work well also. You may have to do them a bit longer, just watch them and see,
Biscuits and gravy are a staple at our house. I've made homemade sausage gravy for years but we've always used store bought biscuits. I've always wanted to try homemade buttermilk biscuits, made them tonight with this recipe and they are awesome!!!
Another great recipe and video! I made there today and they were great! All we had today was unsalted butter so next time I’ll either use salted butter or add a little salt to the batter. Thanks!
,,,my my my Helga ,,them biscuits look so good,, i would have to try one of them with some honey & butter ,,great job as all ways,, thanks for sharing ,,
Your channel "just popped up" with this delicious recipe for buttermilk biscuits...new subscriber here! Can't wait to check out other videos! Merry Christmas! 😁
You're right! These are the best ever! I just made a batch in my new cast iron skillet and the only complaint from my family was that I didn't make more! ❤ So glad I found your channel, thank you! God bless
This is how we make them in the south except we use shortening (crisco) instead of butter. Grating the butter is a great idea. I will have to try these and see what my family says.
You should make Hoe Cake Biscuits In 10 " cast iron.. it's so good Preheat oven to 450 ferinheight Coat cast iron with crisco 2 cups self-rising flour 1 pinch baking soda (Sift or wisk to distribute powder and flour) 1/8 cup crisco 4 TBSP grated cold butter Blend/cut in butter /crisco to flour/baking soda 1 1/2 cup buttermilk Mix till blended, should be a wet batter Pour in cast iron pan Bake 20-25 min or till golden brown & toothpick comes out clean Tip cast iron over rack immediately to prevent cake from getting soggy Cut and butter, with a small and syrup or jam It's so good, and has the crunchy exterior and fluffy interior
Like us mechanics and DIY'er you have a nice selection of tools to do the job but you have mad skills and cook with love so there you go, you're the whole package of cooking goodness. Amazing biscuits are so comforting in the morning.
Helga Are ya.' sure you had enough butter in those?? :+))))) Makes me miss my grandma and our huge farm breakfasts as a kid. I've never heard of "bacon gravy", but LORD anything with Bacon in it is OK by me. I really don't like sausage, but I LOVE bacon. I eat Turkey bacon (Triglyceride issues). Can Bacon Gravy be made out of that? There's not really any fat in Turkey Bacon so I was wondering. Love your videos, never stop! Another PA chef. God bless: Dave
Thanks, Dave! I think you could make a variation. Cook up the turkey bacon, and deglaze the pan, and then make a basic oil gravy using a healthy oil and add the turkey bacon back in. Probably the closest. I've not tried it, though! LOL!
@@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot Hi. So it's basically a White; Ham gravy, type of thing? I make White Ham gravy all the time. Since my stroke, I don't eat/like meat anymore. I DO eat bacon and crisped up ham or Beef jerky. It seems that since the stroke I can eat crisp meats or harder to chew meats I do not like sausage, ground Beef, Chicken, or ground Pork. NO soft meats, only tough to chew meats, like the ones I mentioned. Not sure why? I used to be a Carnivore, NOT any more. Now I'm happy to just eat vegetables. i can't eat bread either. Toasted it's a little easier, but I'd rather just avoid it. The stroke messed of some muscles in my throat and chest, so it makes me feel like I'm suffocating when I eat bread or meat. I can't breath while I have those items in my mouth, so I swallow everything whole just to get it out of my mouth. My medications make my head congested , so that doesn't help either. Thanks for your great recipes and videos. I love every one! Stay safe through this virus mess. God bless: Dave from Berwick
@@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot thanks! By the way do these freeze well? Don't know if you've ever tried it. They might be too good not to eat them all in a day.
You have the proportions to make self-rising flour wrong and you left out the salt, it should be... For each cup of all-purpose flour, you will need 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
I'm sure you can. Add a Tablespoon of vinegar if you don't have buttermilk. Add and let sit a few minutes before adding to mix. Don't worry, it's supposed to curdle. 😀
Making your own self rising flour, pretty cool. Good job Helga, I am going to make this recipe in the dutch after is cools down in a few months. And I am going to share the video.
If you do not have self-rising flour and the recipe calls for it, you can make your own by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and ¼ teaspoon salt. I am going to make these.
I bombed. All in for mouthwatering biscuits. They were not nearly done after 15 minutes at 350. I'd leave them two more minutes, three more until I ended up with a very dry, tasteless mess. I do like frying pan idea and frozen butter. Just didn't work for me.
@@Operafreak9 Yes. So, several things here. Did you use self rising flour or just all purpose? Did you use buttermilk? Was the pan preheated? It's 20 minutes, but halfway thru at the 10 min mark, you pull out and pour butter over the top. So shaved butter in the dough with the self rising flour (which is not all purpose), sugar, and buttermilk make the main dough and then melted butter over the top half way through baking. What kind of pan did you use? That can make a difference, too. Where is the rack in the oven? It should be midway. I want to help you through it because they are freaking fantastic and you're missing out!
Skeptical, but I just made them. Best damn biscuit I have ever eaten. I only changed one thing. After the first 10 min. I put the butter on and cranked it up to 425 for the last 10 min. Thank you for sharing!

Here's to a yummy day to you!
That's good to know, thanks, Ivy!
Though probably not as rich but works. Happy Weekend, Helga. PS: Feels good to be back to videos. So fun!

Oh yeah. I've been better for awhile now. But I went back to blogging first and then came here again. Thanks!

Awesome! Thank you! Any questions, just ask!
Never tried hand forming biscuits. Biscuits with supper and then with jam for dessert. Or maple syrup. They sure looked good. Thank you for the awesome Cast Iron Wednesday recipe, Helga. Stay safe
Can’t wait to make these but don’t have a cast-iron skillet. Can I use a baking pan instead? Would I need to increase the oven temperature?
Thanks, Sean, super easy, and the biscuits aren't as dense!
@Karen Nelson Yes, you can use a baking pan, or a heavy pie plate or a glass baking dish would work well also. You may have to do them a bit longer, just watch them and see,
I baked these today, they were delicious. My husband, and children loved them. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

They look yummy! How much is a stick of butter?
Thank you! 1 stick is 1/2 cup, 1/4 lb., or 8 tablespoons.
@@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot thank you! I'm making them now 😉😋

oh lawd!!! that looks great! thanks for sharing Helga! now you need some FROG jam!
Thank you! Dang, now i'm jonesing for FROG jam, lol!
Love the video thanks so much. We will be making these ASAP.
Hope you guys enjoy them!

Give it a shot! I think they have a richer flavor and are more tender than using crisco. I grew up using both but butter is my preference.
You should make Hoe Cake Biscuits
In 10 " cast iron.. it's so good
Preheat oven to 450 ferinheight
Coat cast iron with crisco
2 cups self-rising flour
1 pinch baking soda
(Sift or wisk to distribute powder and flour)
1/8 cup crisco
4 TBSP grated cold butter
Blend/cut in butter /crisco to flour/baking soda
1 1/2 cup buttermilk
Mix till blended, should be a wet batter
Pour in cast iron pan
Bake 20-25 min or till golden brown & toothpick comes out clean
Tip cast iron over rack immediately to prevent cake from getting soggy
Cut and butter, with a small and syrup or jam
It's so good, and has the crunchy exterior and fluffy interior

Yes, they are, and warm right out of the oven, heaven! Thanks Wyatt!
Oh my goodness I miss them so much. My momma used to make biscuits like this. Almost the same recipe too.
Awww, you should whip up a batch! Your momma must have been a great cook!
Will be for breakfast tomorrow!
Helga they look awesome! & My daughter says make the biggest and best!
Unsalted or salted butter?
I use unsalted! Thank you!

Doesn't get much better than that. Fresh biscuits and bacon gravy 👌
Amen, lol!
They looked great! I need to try those with some sausage gravy.... Mmm!
Thanks, they are wonderful with sausage gravy, and bacon gravy and chicken and biscuits, lol...
O man that looks like more
Thank you!
Is the cast iron pan pre heated?
Yes.
Hot cast iron? Did you preheat it with the oven?
Yes. I always do.
@@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot thanks! By the way do these freeze well? Don't know if you've ever tried it. They might be too good not to eat them all in a day.
Is the skillet preheated before you put the first biscuit in? You said hot skillet ??
Yes. It warms up with the oven, so be careful!
rise to the occasion!
Naturally!
What do I use to mix the flour and butter if I don't have one of those doohickies like u used? I love ur channel!
That doohickey is a pastry blender, lol. Very helpful! But before I had one, I used 2 butter knives and just kept cutting and mixing til finer!
Thank you!
You have the proportions to make self-rising flour wrong and you left out the salt, it should be...
For each cup of all-purpose flour, you will need 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
Also-can i use 1/2 and 1/2 instead of milk (I'm out of milk)? Thanks!
I'm sure you can. Add a Tablespoon of vinegar if you don't have buttermilk. Add and let sit a few minutes before adding to mix. Don't worry, it's supposed to curdle. 😀
Yes, you can. It will be thicker and may be a bit heavier but should still taste fine.
Thanks!
I just put a batch in the oven. 🤣🤣 Can't wait to try them.
Hope you liked them, Mary!

Actually, it's 2 tsp of baking powder for 1 C of all purpose, which i shared in the vid. LOL. Thank you.
@@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot
You’re right…. 1/12 tsp baking powder and we always put 1/2 tsp salt.
Warm biscuits, butter and home made wild strawberry jam and a glass of milk, mmmmm, mmmmm. I gained about 2 pounds just typing this out. lol
Ha, so did I reading it! I had some of my homemade apple butter on them!
Delish!
My grandma would be proud of those they look....wait did you say bacon gravy? Can’t add to that😀 Bryan (little Art)
LOL, thank you, and yes I did!
Jeez that looked awesome and you ate most of it in front of your biscuitleas viewers.......that was soooooo wrong. Lol
LOL. Sorry......not sorry?
I like to spread it open and pour molasses all over it.
Yummy!
2 cups of flour only get 4 tsp of baking powder, not 6.
This is not your recipe. Make whatever you want. This is my friend's grandmother's recipe and fabulous, actually our favorite.

Speak for yourself. Biscuits with zero sugar don't win.
