I just made your recipe, Donna. My family says that they are the best biscuits they’ve ever eaten. The sticky dough, trifold with floured hands technique is the key, I think. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
@@CookingWithDonna I’m back for another bake along with you this morning. I had the last biscuit of my first batch with my homemade chicken vegetable soup last night…and it was so good, I had to make a fresh batch this morning to have with leftovers.
My grandfather used to make homemade biscuits and gravy every morning all us kids would stay the night. He never gave anyone a recipe, but this is the closest thing I've seen to what his biscuits looked like, he just pushed his down a bit thinner. The fluffiest on the inside, with still the crunchiest outside. Thank you for this
I haven't had a decent biscuit since 1996 right before my sweet 86 year old grandmother passed away. She made a mess of biscuits for me about 2 months before she got sick. She tried to tell how she made her biscuits. She never measured a thing. She would say that she used a "smidgen of this and a bit of that. I honestly think that your way is the same as hers. I'm going to make these this evening. We have a convection oven and it may not be quite big enough to move around. But it bakes so good. I will need to just watch them.
Hello DARRIN ..Grandmas cooking we all seem to hold dear to our hearts nothing better...I hope they turn out to your liking and I appreciate you watching ❤️
Now "THIS" is the biscuits recipe I've been looking for!! 😁😁😁 I have looked at no less than 15 biscuits videos on YT and NONE of the end products looked like the biscuit I wanted😩. Thank you, not only for this upload and recipe but, your knowledge and exact instructions! 🤗😍🤗
Thank you so much for the tips in this video! I never thought about why you shouldn't twist your cup when cutting the biscuits AND never thought about how the climb when their are close to each other.😊😊
For some reason, I've been watching biscuit videos the last couple of days. Yours BY FAR, look the best. Yummy!! Also, you're the only one I've seen using a pastry cutter/mixer. I'm sure it helped you get all the lard mixed up with the flour mixture really well. Nice work!
I use lard also that's what my mom used,tried butter and Crisco don't work like the lard.they up grades the lard to make it healthier,not like the real stuff
Omg, I have been struggling so hard to perfect the art of biscuit making and u have definitely shown me where I am making my mistakes today. Thk u so much ❤ I simply had to come back and update my comment! I tried your biscuits this weekend for biscuits and sausage gravy and wow, just wow! These biscuits r some of the best I have ever had! And, for once, thks to ur tips they turned out light, fluff and layer after layer of delight! You have officially helped me master biscuits!
I really enjoyed this. This is how my mom made them. She would make the dough at night and we would wake to the smell of freshly baked biscuits and the smell of Maxwell house coffee. I’m going to try this. Thank you.
And who would have thought that butter and lard are actually better for you than margarine and shortening. I recently found this out. Lard, once the staple of most homes in America, suffered mainly due to a smear campaign from the makers of Crisco. To be fair though. Pure lard is better. The Armor and White brands seen in supermarkets is hydrogenated, which makes it little, if any better than vegetable shortening.
@@CookingWithDonna Donna, I have been binge watching your videos for the past hour or two!! I was thinking of making white chocolate raspberry cookies this week..they just sounded good and never tried to make them before. Then earlier today, I found your recipe and I'm definitely going with your recipe!! Sounds way better than the first recipe I found online. I've been looking for a cooking channel like yours, for so long!! I'm thrilled, to say the least. Just got into cooking about 5 or 6 years ago and I am obsessed with taking in all the good cooking advice I can get! Keep up the great work, loving your channel so much!
Made these and they’re incredible! Wish I could get them tall like yours though. Not sure what I did wrong. Everything was cold when I made them up. I’m trying again tonight!!!
Update....I absolutely nailed it tonight!!! Got a tip to cut the biscuits out then put them in the freezer for 15 minutes. It’s supposed to help the biscuits get nice and tall. Worked like a charm!! Thank you for this video!!!!!
Those look really good. I know my grandmother used lard. I'll give this a try. Thank you for posting. I'm kinda binge watching your channel today. I'd like to know how you learned to cook so well and if you ever screw up lol.
Hello Helena, I'm so glad you took interest to watch I appreciate that..cooking I always watched mama and daddy was always curious when it came to cooking always enjoyed it..for messing up I pretty much know now how much of this or how much of that but here and there I can do a mess up just like any one else lol we learn from it..hope you stick around and enjoy some of the recipes and I thank you for watching♥️
@@CookingWithDonna they came out so soft and good thanks for taking me back to my childhood. That popcorn salt is nexts . My kid ate her fill, I know they were good, dealing with the junk eating Queen is a task!

I’ve been playing around with making biscuits, daily for the past week or so. Strictly been using self rising flour and whole buttermilk but experimenting with lard, butter and Crisco. My best batch thus far has been with the same lard she’s using, butter second best and crisco was my least favorite. Wondering if I try the all purpose if I’d get the desired biscuit. What else is crazy is that I could make fine biscuits when I was a teen but as a 50yr old adult, not so much.
Hello Emma I have made them with self rising as well but I like using all purpose flour and adding my own leveling and salt ratios hope you give it a try it maybe what your looking for❤️
Good job Donna! But, it, using lard, was not that long ago. Vinegar and milk, well, not buttermilk, neither is the cultured buttermilk in the store. Just so you folks know! Small audience, but maybe word will spread.
They are different but one can be used to replace the other in cooking..Bacon is brined some smoked giving a different flavor verses lard hope this helps
Hello Crystal it's not needed it's a preference how light of a biscuit your wanting I do use it in my other biscuit video just depends what one likes..thanks for watching❤
Hi Donna. I just made these biscuits for breakfast and they were delicious. Little clean up. They are in a large bowl with a towel awaiting an afternoon ham and cheese sandwich. Thank you for sharing some of your cooking knowledge.
Just made this recipe yesterday. Used milk and vinegar for the buttermilk like she suggested, and they biscuits turned out great !! The best I've made so far ❤
I came across this video after trying somebody else's recipe. They came out really really good but I saw that you used popcorn butter salt and I immediately knew that mine would taste a whole lot better with the popcorn salt. I can't wait to try it. Thank you!
I just stumbled onto your videos. You had me at "Butter... LOTS of butter....." I'm hittin' that subscribe button NOW! (Oh, and can you tell me where to find your *chocolate* chocolate chip cookies? New fan here! 🤤🤤
Gotta buy a new cast iron pan and some lard just to make your biscuit recipe. What size pan is yours? Thanx for your response Btw those biscuits are what dreams are made of. Tfs sweetie❤❤❤❤❤
Slap some butter and brown sugar in there while they're hot = 🔥, my mom made them this way. Sometimes she would make a whole cake, where she would just put the whole biscuit mix in a cast iron skillet.
This is the best video for how to make biscuits on You Tube! Thank you!
Thank you so much!❤️

Can´t beat lard, and butter for biscuits and pie. Cast iron skillet and that does it. Thank you.
Thank you and I so agree❤️
Love your recipe yummy 😋
Thank you Mickie I so appreciate you thanks for watching❤
Mickie could you share the recipe please?
We always have 2% milk but if I don’t have whole milk, could I mix cream and milk and add vinegar to it to make buttermilk?
A splash of cream with the 2% milk should be fine❤️
Good job Donna! But, it, using lard, was not that long ago. Vinegar and milk, well, not buttermilk, neither is the cultured buttermilk in the store. Just so you folks know! Small audience, but maybe word will spread.
Thank you!❤️
What if I use regular chocolate chips rather than semi-sweet? I'm a novice when it comes to baking?
For Cookies you can use whatever chips you like❤️
I find baking powder adds a bitter taste and so I think granny tossed in some baking soda to remove the bitterness what do you think?
Hello morgan... i like to use aluminium free but of course a little wont hurt granny is always right♥️
What's the tool that you used to mix before you added the butter milk?
Hello Maria that would be the pastry blender
@@CookingWithDonna thank you so much 💗
You are so welcome ❤️
Can i use self rising flour
Yes you will omit the baking powder , salt, self rising already has it you will just add the lard and buttermilk
@@CookingWithDonna thank you
You are so welcome thanks for watching ♥️
Is bacon fat and lard the same thing?
They are different but one can be used to replace the other in cooking..Bacon is brined some smoked giving a different flavor verses lard hope this helps
I was taught to always add a pinch of baking soda when using buttermilk. Is this not necessary?
Hello Crystal it's not needed it's a preference how light of a biscuit your wanting I do use it in my other biscuit video just depends what one likes..thanks for watching❤
popcorn butter salt....you sly goose!

Good lard those biscuits look great 🤣
Allen thank you so much we love them and I hope you do as well thanks for stopping in I truly appreciate it ❤️
Those biscuits are beautiful! How did they taste? Were they gummy at all? Just beautiful!
Not gummy at all nice and fluffy ❤️
I don’t have lard, trying these today with Crisco I hope they will still turnout ok?
Hello Deanna crisco should be fine but the taste will not be the same as the lard..good luck!❤️
Can I use self-rising flour?
You can use self rising flour but the rise will not be the same you can definitely add a bit more baking powder hope this helps❤️
Yummy
Making these again tonight. Best recipe I’ve ever used! Thank you so much Donna!! Love from Blue Grass, Iowa.
Dave you enjoy and I truly appreciate you my friend and happy holidays ❤️
Oh man! Those look *GOOD!*
Thank you!❤️
Thank You Donna!! This takes me back to when mu Mother made Lard Biscuits BY HAND!!! Keep The Old School Alive!!
M Holmes I’m sure trying ❤️
Does it matter if I use self rising?
I don’t use self rising I like to control my own leveling agents and salt so I really can’t promise they will be the same hope this helps❤️
