Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Baking powder biscuits

    • selena__rhea on October 10, 2024

      Very wet dough! Wondering if 2 cups buttermilk for 2.5 cups flour is a misprint? Tried to save by adding in more flour during folding but ended up with very dense, wet biscuits. Also, should probably use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid metallic taste:/

      Echoing the other review that this recipe is definitely incorrect. Entirely too much buttermilk to flour. I didn’t add more flour and we wound up with what we called pancake biscuits. Pretty tasty but entirely wrong. Such a shame, because the other recipes I’ve tried have been good.

  • Heavy cream biscuits

    • BachranBears on February 20, 2024

      Incredibly simple and delicious. Makes for a delicate and fluffy biscuit.

  • Sour cream biscuits

    • sydlikestocook on December 09, 2024

      the dough was way too wet. had to add more flour. ended up making drop biscuits because they couldn't hold the shape.

      I really liked these biscuits. They came together quickly and I did not feel like they were too wet. Maybe it depends on the type of sour cream used. I enjoyed these as an egg and cheese sandwich in the morning. Sturdy enough to hold up to that but still noisy and melt in your mouth in the middle.

      Made these tonight to go with sausage gravy. Dough came together very easily. It was way too wet to fold- I attempted but ended up with drop biscuits. They were tasty; in the future I would not attempt the fold on these. I used Daisy sour cream and followed the recipe to the letter.

  • Butter swim biscuits

    • BachranBears on February 20, 2024

      Was so intrigued by the recipe that I had to try it out. Each step felt like it couldn't possibly turn out, but the resulting biscuits had crispy exteriors and fluffy interiors. Seemed a bit like magic.

      A favorite for when I'm too damn drowsy to be cutting anything out

    • jsguaium on February 01, 2026

      Correct salt is 2 teaspoons; this was easy and delicious. I made as directed except short 1/4 cup buttermilk and subbed cream. Used cast iron.

  • Bacon cheddar biscuits

    • JulieCruz on January 19, 2025

      Very good, dough was a little dry and required about 1/4 cup more buttermilk. Did square biscuits so I had no waste and pressed them to an inch high, double what she calls for.

  • Flaky ricotta biscuits

    • NicoleBrown on January 12, 2025

      A lot of fun to make and turned out great! Definitely on the rich side. My middle son felt they were, “too buttery” (is that even a real thing), but everyone else enjoyed them! I baked for 18 minutes to get golden brown tops. Followed recipe as written.

    • angela_gnbj4y on January 20, 2026

      Came together easily and quickly. I love a classic buttermilk biscuit and found these a bit ‘eggy’ for my taste.

  • Red curry basil biscuits

    • meginyeg on November 10, 2023

      These were delicious. We will definitely make them again.

    • NicoleBrown on January 15, 2025

      Great flavor! My husband was especially raving about them & he claims he’s normally not a big biscuit fan(I suspect he has not had made from scratch biscuits). I did not have any fresh basil on hand. I substituted a bit of dry Italian seasoning instead. Wild card! Baked for 15 minutes, but I’ll go 13-14 next round.

  • Chive and red pepper cornmeal biscuits

    • CaptainPantsless on January 17, 2026

      Makes the best biscuit sandwiches, but the spice is delicious with a sweet jam or honey too.

  • Peanut butter and cane syrup biscuits

    • CaptainPantsless on January 17, 2026

      Our fave sweet biscuit. Strawberry jam for a tasty twist on pb&j.

  • The "ultimate" classic

    • JulieCruz on January 19, 2025

      This is a great sandwich because of the biscuit, otherwise it’s just a classic bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich.
