Mom’s Homemade Southern Biscuits Recipe

Ever want to know EXACTLY how the deep South cook made her homemade biscuits? This 10 minute video shows my Mom as she, step by step, prepares her homemade biscuits from scratch. They REALLY taste like fine French pastry! Mom passed away in 2003 but thanks to the foresight of my brother David who died 9/2007 (nonsmoker, lung cancer), her art of making the best biscuits on Earth has not been lost. Video from 1996. I miss you Momma. David, meet me in Heaven’s big Q&A room! RIP.

    There’s nothing that brings family and people together more than sharing the experience of cooking. There’s so much value in sharing these little tips that get past from generation to generation, slowly evolving but strengthening the connections with those we love. That’s why you have to do it with tons of love, and you see that here! Awesome!

    Thank you for this video, it took me 20 years to perfect my sausage gravy recipe and I am still struggling with biscuits from scratch. By watching this I am sure I have been over working the dough, I have been making some great hockey pucks though… lol. wish me luck. Tania

    she is so sweet. i had a sainted aunt, who gave me a couple recipes without measurements. she just expected you to already know how much of this or that. i love her! she used her hands because that was how she could tell it was right! :)  i want to know her recipe (or whatever she says to do! lol) for the hoe cakes..

    Thank you for sharing this, it reminds me of my Mom, especially the Hoecake part!! Treasure this always!!

    Awww, bless her! She cooked just like my mother and my grandmother. They rarely measured ANYTHING… just eyeballed it… and the food came out wonderful! When I ask my mom (nearly 90 years old now) how she used to make something, her answer is always like, “Well, I put a heaping spoonful of this and a chunk of that…..” Needless to say, I don’t dare try since I don’t have the exact measurements. Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! Your mother was adorable. :)

    Thanks for sharing your mother’s recipe! This reminds me of my mother when she baked her biscuits, and I also lost my mother in 2006. My mother nearly prepared hers the same way, and now I can bake biscuits the old Southern way!

    @woodsinme oh my days, are you related to the gullah and gee chee people of that region?
    funny thing is, as a bahamian, i wanted to trace where our liniage spawn from in the west.
    and the lingua we use is not like that of a jamaican or other west indian people. we speak exactly ;ike the gullah people. but maaaan, johnny cake????? we eat that with boil fish(grouper) or stewed fish made by browning flower.
    do you eat fritters? like conch fritters?

  17. woodsinme says:

    @MrRoachiee3 No, 12th generation American from north Georgia. My grandmother would wipe off a spot on her wood stove and cook the left over biscuit dough on top of it. I guess it got me out from under her feet!

  18. MrRoachiee3 says:

    @woodsinme now where are you from? johnny cakes? you must be from the Bahamas. or the turks n cacios….

  19. andrewrueff says:

    Fantastic recipe! I’m from Mississippi, my grandmother died when I was young but my mother talks about how she would wake up at 6:00am and make these every day. Thank you so much for sharing.
