Thank you God for letting me be Southern born and corn bread fed
Same! Thanks for stopping by!
Finally someone is using their hands to make the biscuits.
I have always made them this way. Thanks for stopping by.
Now, that's the way to make biscuits! BUT, I never saw anyone put bacon grease on top before cooking. We'll be seeing it in this house this weekend though, I can tell you that! Those biscuits look fit to eat!
Thank you, and thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy the biscuits. The bacon grease gives them that little extra “something” and also helps to form a nice crust on top without being too dry.
I'm watching this because my mom passed away and everything she made was old fashion way from fried chicken, DUMPLINS, chili , pot of beans, and her breakfast,,that's why I'm looking this up she made the best biscuits, I learned her chicken and dumplings real good , now I'm cravin them biscuits, I'm excited to try to getem made they look exactly like them ...thanks for sharing this ..💚
Old fashioned cooking is becoming a lost art. My mom began teaching me to cook when I was really young. She wanted me to be able to feed a family when I got older, married and had kids...lol. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
Also, try out; Collard Valley Cooks (CVC), and The Hillbilly Kitchen, or whippoorwill holler on youtube.
Well I shore hope you get some of them there biscuits.
P
Nothing worse than people offering you homemade fluffy biscuits and you get hardtack. Thanks for taking your time!!!
You are so welcome!
This is the way my Mama taught me to make biscuits and I just love it, aand she put bacon grease on top of her biscuits as well. She has been in Heave4n for a long time now and this brings back wonderful memories. Thank you so much. Wee caalled them "cat head biscuits" and they tasted wonderful!
Awwww. I know how you must miss your momma. I miss mine, too. I’m so glad my video brought some good memories to you today. We called these “cat heads” too…lol. Thanks for watching and leaving a lovely comment. Have a blessed day.
This looks exactly like my granny's cathead biscuits! She was born in 1906 and I sat on her bakers cabinet watching her when I was a tiny tot and often got to help with the leftover doecake. Thank you for sharing
Awww…thank you for stopping by. Glad my video evoked such precious memories. ❤️
YT. is precious at helping to preserve those great old recipes and techniques. Thak you for the biscuits!
So true! Glad you enjoyed the video...thanks for watching and commenting.
They look like my mama’s biscuits! Love them❤❤❤
Thank you, and thanks for visiting!
My grandma there and grandfather both lived to be in their 90s and they ate fried chicken homemade mac and cheese all kinds of vegetables from the garden and biscuits almost every meal I can't wait to try this
Thanks for stopping by! I hope the biscuits turn out great for you.
I grew up watching my Grandma, my mother and my aunts making biscuits this way, I have seen my mom have a little bit of bacon grease in the skillet and when she got the biscuit made, she would dip the biscuit and then turn it over so the tops would have the grease on top instead of spooning it over the top, just her way and they looked as perfect as these.
As long as there’s bacon grease on the tops is all that matters… lol. Thanks for stopping by.
We make our own butter and buttermilk from cream as needed. That's what you need - fresh buttermilk.
Fresh buttermilk would be best! Thanks for stopping by!
Look like good Kentucky biscuits!😁😁😁

Ms Bonnie’s gentle voice and soft hands make beautiful biscuits. I learned how gently I should be to make beautifully light biscuits.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you for sharing! I remember watching my grandmother making cat head biscuits out in her wooden dough bowl.
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching! Wonderful memories ❤️
She's the way to go. This is the best recipe I've come to find. It reminds me of my grandmother Minnie. Bacon grease and shortening.
Thank you! And thanks for visiting!
Delicious looking biscuits!
Thank you!
I'm going to try your recipe they look real good thank you
Thanks for visiting.
Two thumbs up 👍🏽 👍🏽.
Thank you, Harriett!
This is the way my maternal grandmother made them. We'd have chocolate and biscuits every time we'd visit. I have inherited her #8 Griswold cast iron skillet. She'd grease the skillet with bacon grease as well as brush them.
Good memories! Were you referring to chocolate gravy and biscuits? We looove chocolate gravy with them. I actually have a video on making chocolate gravy, if you're interested in looking it up. And what a treasure you have in your iron skillet! Thank for watching and commenting!
Best ones ever!
Thank you! And thanks for visiting and commenting.
I make Chocolate Pancakes...but not chocolate gravy...can't wait to watch that video !
Thanks for stopping by! Chocolate gravy is soooo good! If you try it, I hope you enjoy it!
Beautiful ! I miss my Mom, she made these biscuits every morning.
Thank you for stopping by and commenting. There’s just nothing like Momma’s cookin’!
You know when they talk like this, they can make some biscuits!
Sounds like my grandmommy! God rest her soul! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for watching my video and commenting!
@@wildwoodholler Thank you for making it!!!
That’s how mom made it! ❤️ She would spin the bowl as she mixed it, it was so cool to watch her… used the same big bowl for 40 yrs, just add a little flower back in there… cool video!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
As soon as I heard the accent I knew I was at the right place.
Lol…can’t hide “country!” 🤣 Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you, That's how you make a biscuit! You get in there with your hands.
Absolutely! Gives them extra flavor…LOL Thanks for watching and commenting!
Ingredients:
• Large bowl of flour
☆(you won't use all of the flour; you just need a decent amount of flour in a large bowl)
• 1 cup of buttermilk
• ½ cup of shortening
• Melted bacon fat
Right on the flour, and yes, 1 cup of buttermilk is 1/2 pint. I use 1/2 cup shortening and then put the bacon grease on the top of the biscuits before they go into the oven. You can use bacon grease in biscuits, too, or can use lard (my mom used lard when I was a little girl). After making the biscuits, sift the flour to use again.
Is it self rising flour?
Mom did hers in a wooden bowl like that I turn mine in a ceramic bowl and roll my dough (always whole buttermilk) out on floured wax paper. Then I cut out biscuits with a floured tin can & bake on cookie sheet at 500 degrees. BUT I just seasoned my large Lodge skillet and want to try some in the cast iron. Thanks.
I LOVE the old wooden bowls! I have a really nice one that I bought at a yard sale several years ago for just $10, which was a great price. The lady even told me the story of how she got it….❤️Your biscuits sound delicious! I’m sure you’ll like baking them in the iron skillet. As for the tin can, it’s nice to hear of someone else using what others would toss in the garbage. We used to chop cabbage to make kraut with two cream cans, when the ends were attached with wax. They were great for that. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I was looking for a good ole cat head biscuit recipe and the picture of your biscuits stopped me here. Your title doesn't say cat head but they looked so perfect....couldn't resist watching. Do you have a gravy recipe to go with them...maybe a sausage gravy?
Thank You and Jesus bless.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a nice comment! I do need to make a sausage gravy video. I’ll try to get to it soon. Thanks again!
She'd make fluffy dumplings the same way, leaving the dough a bit wetter and spooning large scoops onto a simmering pot of chicken, cover and steam cook the dumplings.
My momma made dumplings pretty much this way, too. Soooo good! Thanks for stopping by.
I’d love to make biscuits like that. My momma made them like this.ohh yummy
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. You can definitely make biscuits like this. Just takes a little practice!
Love some homemade biscuits..those look delicious.
Laura Peace Stafford , thank you so much! And thanks for watching and commenting!
Just exactly like my mom's! The only video on UA-cam that is truly southern biscuits! Only missing the crisscross fork design. TY!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
My mom rest her soul , she always put the fork crisscross on her peanut butter cookies, that's what I remembered when I saw you say that about the biscuits...
Great memories. Just the way my mother made them. Thank you for passing down this traditional method.
Most welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video...thanks for watching and commenting!
My mother (born in Alabama) made biscuits this way. I've been using butter but will try this very soon. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Oh my, they are marvelous looking, thanks🌹❤️
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Looks like what I remember!! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I recently asked my grandmother to teach me how to make biscuits and this is exactly how she showed me to do it! Thank you for your video because it helps me remember the right consistency of the dough at each step.
Tim Archer, thank you for watching and commenting! I'm glad you found the video helpful.
You had me at bacon grease!
Lol, as 45. Bacon grease might not be so healthy, but it sure makes a big difference in the taste of the foods it’s used in. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Absolutely beautiful job I love this way of making biscuits so good ❤ thank you for your video
Sandra Cyrus Thank you! And thanks for watching and commenting!

You’re welcome! I’m glad the video brought good memories to you. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
Beautiful
Thank you!
That's how my Mom did it. She used lard.
Made a well & made Biscuits just like U.
Oh yeah...my mom used to make biscuits with lard, also. They are soooo good!
I bet those biscuits are so yummy! Looks just like the ones my Grandmother used to make! With the golden crispiness deliciousness..
Thanks for the nice comment! And thanks for visiting.
Yummy in my tummy
rosaredrosa1 Thank you!
That’s how my Mom made her biscuits!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
AMAZING BISCUITS , THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜,
Thank you! And thanks for stopping by and leaving a lovely comment.
I loved your video on the Kentucky Butter Cake
That video wasn't mine, but thanks for stopping by and commenting!
You remind me of my first mothe in law. She made biscuits like you do. They were really wonderful. You make me want to try your way of doing it, I never seemed to get it right but I think I will try again. Your biscuits look so good. Thank you.
It just takes a little practice...you can do it! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
The best demonstration of hand rolled biscuits I've seen. Chef Sara Gaede did it exactly this way in ' The Pirate's House Cookbook'.
Thanks for a great video.
Thank you! And thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you! A biscuit receipe that I can actually try!💕
Hopefully, they turn out great! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you!💕
I saw an old cowboy mixing them in the flour sack right out there on the Prairie and put them in a dutch oven wish I would have paid more attention to his technique. All I know is they were good or I was hungry one
I’m sure that was an awesome experience, and I’m sure they were delicious. Thanks for stopping by!
Yum! I love biscuits and gravy too. We also like breakfast for dinner. Thank you for this because I can make good biscuits, but everyone now uses cold butter, and that don't agree with my stomach. And I didn't know how much shortening to use. I know THEY say it's not healthy, but our grannies used hog lard and ate eggs and things THEY say is not healthy for years. And most lived alot longer than they do today. And I will be getting me some lard from my Amish friends!
I agree with you! My momma used rendered lard from hogs we killed. People don’t know much about the old ways anymore, and it’s really sad. Thanks so much for watching my video and leaving a nice comment. Merry Christmas!
Those are some of the prettiest biscuits I have ever seen. I make mine the exact same way, however I have not been putting my bacon grease on top before cooking. I will do this with the bacon grease from now on, that method makes them golden brown.
Thanks for the help 👍
Well thank you! The bacon grease does help with browning, and it also gives the biscuits a little added flavor. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Bacon grease, so-called, is the primary ingredient to anything I want to make right. Biscuits, gravy, steak, soup - you name it. Pig fat is the key.
Hmmmm. That's how my mama dot it, but she use a long rectangle pan kind of like a cookie sheet. She had to feed 11. Daddy and the children. ❤ Rhonda
Rhonda, I'm sure your mamma's bread was delicious! Nobody can cook like Mamma! Mine used to put biscuits in a pan like you're talking about, too (six in my family, including my parents). I sure do miss eating meals with her and Daddy, and the rest of the family. We used to gather there every Sunday after church to have dinner. Good times, good memories.
Now that's some mighty fine looking biscuits. Smother fry some potatoes, pour a bunch of cane syrup with a bunch of heavy cream mixed up with syrup. Drag biscuits through syrup and every now and then drag a fork full of potatoes through syrup and cream. That be so good. Don't forget to fry up a bunch of bacon. Pork chops work good too.
Sounds like you know how to eat! Lol. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I’m coming over!! Lol
Lol…they’re all gone now! Thanks for stopping by!
Man they look amazing. I love the bacon grease, I am stealing that idea!
Thank you! And thanks for visiting and leaving a comment.
Hey Buttermilk freaks GUESS WHAT? he hee i put lime juice in it OMG ITS SO GOOD That is 5 favors of buttermilk 1. buttermilk ranch dressing, 2. tomato juice buttermilk, 3. cucumber juice buttermilk, 4. apple cider vinegar buttermilk, 5. lime juice buttermilk ♥ THAT NO ONE EVER HEARD OF! YUM that the only way to keep whole milk from spoiling YUM
Please start cooking more. We need to know this. Excellent looking biscuits.
Thank you! And thanks for watching and commenting. I will have more cooking videos in the near future...:)
You just have the perfect touch of making biscuits. I’m going to try it but I’ve haven’t gotten them that light and fluffy yet. I’m a new subscriber and look forward to more of your recipes !!
Thank you! I'm so glad you found your way over to my channel...welcome! I hope the recipe turns out great for you. Thank you for subscribing and commenting.
You haven't beaten them enough yet. Biscuit dough is like children. You gotta whomp it hard.
Wow! U R only 1 who made Biscuits like Mom.
My mom made hers the exact same way.
I’m sure they were delicious. Thank you for watching and commenting.
You had me at bacon grease and cast iron. 😃
Can’t go wrong with that combo! Lol. Thanks for visiting.
Ingot my first hot butchered this week, and now we are looking for recipes to use the lard with. This video even after watching 4 others was the first one to make my mouth water! I love it! And will be sharing it!! Thank you!
Christian Guther thanks for watching, commenting and sharing! I remember the days when my daddy butchered hogs and mamma would render lard. Neighbors and friends came by to help, and of course, there were kids to play with all day long. Cherished memories...
Is it normal for it to smell like pork reigns? Does the leaf lard smell Ike that? I had taken some back fat off the loins and it’s got a strong pork reign taste
Christian Guther It shouldn’t have a strong taste. After the fat has been cut from the skin, then rendering and straining it, it should have a very mild taste.
Right. The taste on bread isn’t bad... but the smell is super strong... maybe I burnt a little on the bottom of the pot
Looks like my Grandmother's biscuits!!! Brings back good memories. I was wondering if lard could be used instead of shortening?
Thanks for stopping by! You can definitely use lard in these biscuits. That’s actually how my mom used to make them before she started using shortening.
Thanks for sharing! This is same way my mom made Biscuits. I'm gonna try to make some today.
I hope they turn out great for you! Thanks for watching and commenting.
They turned out pretty good Wasn't my mom's but pretty good. Thank you!
Those looked so good, how do we get the recipe, I don't see where it's included. Thanks for what you do and, sharing it with us!
If you watch the video, it will tell you. I mostly cook from scratch , so the measurements are approximate. Thanks so much for visiting and leaving a nice comment!
Great video. These look the most like the ones my mother made. Minus the bacon grease on top, they would probably also taste the same!
Thank you for stopping by, watching my video, and commenting!
My gramma put bacon grease in everything! We also had cocoa gravy (that's what we called it) she lived in Eastern Oklahoma. I miss her dearly.
Glad the video brought some good memories to you! I did a video some time ago on my channel called ”Old Fashioned Chocolate Gravy,” which is what we called it here in my neck of the woods in West Virginia. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great evening.
Your biscuits look exactly like my mamma's biscuits, and I've craved her biscuits every since she passed 26 yrs.ago. You've inspired me to try and duplicate hers using your recipe... Thank you kindly
Glad my video inspired you to try the biscuits. You can do it! If they don’t turn out nice the first time, keep trying. Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment.
Your welcome
When you pinch them off and roll them in your hands, and they feel like a marshmallow ,you know there RIGHT.
Yep! Thanks for stopping by.
I always end up with 2 biscuits worth of dough stuck my hands. Thank you for showing your technique
You’re welcome! Thanks for stopping by.
Not everyone can cook. Some folks just need to watch.
Show us how to make tea cakes! Please!
This is way my mom made them. The problem people has, is not making that Well. Beautiful Cat heads
Thank you for the nice comment and for visiting.
This is how grandma used to make them and we had bacon and golden brown chicken 👍.
Oooh my! Crispy bacon and crusty, crispy fried chicken...both are perfect with biscuits! Thanks for watching and commenting.
❤
Thank you!
I went and signed in to your fb page. My mommy used to make biscuits. I have made biscuits before nothing pretty like yours. We had a family of eight,six children. I can’t wait for your next video Bonnie. I am sorry about your kitty scratching you. You just made my mouth water,lol.
Thanks so much, Naomi. Glad you enjoyed the video! I hope you find something you enjoy over on my Facebook page...:)
Thank you so much! I've searched all over for a video showing how to make a biscuit like this. My mom use to make the most delicious, soft but golden brown biscuits Ive ever had in my life. Would you believe she used powdered milk?!! She mixed them just like you, and she would just pinch her off a bit. I would watch and it always squeezed out through her thumb and finger, then she would pat it a little and plop it in the pan. She always cooked long cookie sheet full. They were so good. I havent been able to find anyone that made biscuits as tender and fluffy as my mom did. It may be that she used the powdered milk...not sure? Anyway...thanks for taking me down memory lane 😊❤❤❤ By the way, yours look a lot like my moms did so i know theyre delicious!!
Well, thank you so much for such nice comments! The powdered milk could definitely have been the ingredient that made your mom’s biscuits so good. But, I just bet it was that special mother’s touch that made them so delicious. Thanks for stopping by and spending some time with me!
Please do more videos like this
Thank you for watching and commenting, Donna. Hopefully, I can get back to doing videos again soon.
I would love to see a written down recipe.
When I get my blog up ( next couple days), I’ll leave a link here in the comments section to the recipe. Thanks for stopping by!
Lord have mercy! Sweet jesus! Big spoon home made peach preserves!
