Bigmama's Saturday Morning Biscuits

Every Saturday Morning the kids would get up early to watch cartoons. Bigmama would be in the kitchen preparing a big country breakfast. The star of the show was always her biscuits. She had several biscuit recipes but this simple one was one of my favorites.

I've tried several biscuit recipes & this is my favorite! I tweaked the recipe a bit when I make it. I always use 1 cup of buttermilk. When I tried 3/4 cup the dough was always too dry & didn't stay together. Also, I mix this in my kitchenaid stand mixer & it turns out fine so you don't have to mix by hand if you don't want to.

I love biscuits and gravy. My great grandmother made the best biscuits, but she made them with sourdough. I have tried lots of recipes, but this one comes most near to the tenderness and taste I enjoy. Hope you will enjoy too. 1953kenny -

This is a recipe that my family has used since I was a little girl in Georgia. My Papa was stationed at the Marine Corps logistics base in Albany GA in the early 80's, and the church on base had made a cook book to sell at a fund raiser. My Mema (Mom), a beautiful woman and cook, bought the book. Unfortunately the book being made by volunteers long before computers ment that there were quite a few editing errors. My mother had to figure out the temperature and time for this recipe which has been added here. I can promise you that you will love these. Marines would beg my Father for a dinner invite if Mema was making her biscuits and I must say that of my friends that have had these I have received the same rock star status. theblackrosegal -
