I am so happy to see all of the mama and grandma references in the comments. Lots of love here.
emmymadeinjapan I love strawberry freezer jam also and make mine with some balsamic vinegar… recommend B.V. with strawberries. I don’t have measurements, sometimes I do a touch and sometimes I more, depends on my mood. 😋
Girl, every black granny measured by hand. Hell mines had taught me how to do it and I don't want to know how to do it any other way 😁
will we be getting any bee video soon? I binge watched them all a while ago and i have been hooked since :)
Emmy, please tell me about that butter dish! I make my own butter and I need a better way to store it, I keep it in a Tupperware container at the moment.
Edit*
I found it on your Amazon kitchen list! Woohooo!
emmymadeinjapan My MLM made them, and served them with homemade plum jam. Better than doughnuts!
I remember as a young boy seeing my grandmother make biscuits this way, to an old rhyme:
(flour) One for Peter, one for Paul, one for the Good Lord who made us all.
A good pinch of soda, a little salt
And if they don't turn out, it's not my fault.
Then she'd make a well and pour in half & half, using the extra milkfat in place of lard or butter. Never any sugar. She'd say, "If you want your biscuit sweet, that's what the jam is for." Oh, how I miss that woman.
#Gonebutnotforgotten
I love this!!!
What an amazing little rhyme. Thank you for sharing!!
My grandmother baked a lot, and 99% of the time measured everything with her hands. For 'complicated' recipes, she used Mason jars. LOL Sunday mornings, she'd be up early enough to have a BIG batch of cinnamon rolls made up before church. Heaven!
Mema's kitchen, learned to make a HUGE batch of dinner rolls by using my hands! Pie crust too, but less often.
I'm envious of all you lovelies that came from warm, loving families. I'm glad you did but also wish I had been blessed with that. Instead, I just got a bunch of abusers and just straight up bad people who only taught me that I don't matter. 😞
@@englishatheart YOU MATTER! I would say they don't matter but I know they have shaped you into the person you are. I wish they had shown you how much you absolutely matter.
Christine C. You Matter. 💕💕
I came from what everybody thought was the perfect family. We were from the outside. My mother is actually a pretty cold person, yet everybody thinks he’s perfect. That’s the way she likes it to be.
Please try not to carry that stuff in your heart. I know it’s hard to move past it. I Itrstruggle for many years dealing with the pain of feeling cheated and unloved.
I just know that I’m going to do didifferent for my life and for my children I had all the trappings grownup. The new cars.. College education paid for. Horseback riding lessons. A baby grand piano bought for me just so I can learn how to play piano.
My dad was busy with his career. My mom was busy with her career. As children we were just extensions of them like pieces of furniture.
My mother only cooked on Sundays and she never showed us any recipes. My brother was never interested. I was but she always made me feel like I was in the way. I can count to three times my mother ever hugged me.
Now I’m married and I have a little girl and I spend as much time as possible in the kitchen with her doing then activities. I’m always hugging on her I know she gets sick of it I tell her I love her like 20 times a day.
I’ve learned recipes from my stepmother and from my mother-in-law and we even made a little cookbook that we could pass down to all the grandkids. You can always start new.
So when my daughter has children. We Will be able to cook together. And add new recipes to our cookbook. Hopefully it’ll be something that they’ll pass down to their children for generations.
Hugs💕💕
@@englishatheart go give the biscuits a try, come back if you need advice. Communities like this are always willing to give a good dose of Nana/Grandma
Emmy: "Pantry months are moths that like to eat grains, anything that has any kind of carbohydrate. So they love pasta, they love cereal..."
Me: Obviously I'm a pantry moth...
Same
It all makes sense now😂😂
I relate so much. Lol
This made me laugh out loud!! Awesome comment!
Im a pantry moth:)
@@Joffar Nothing bad about that! :)
Drop Biscuits! My grandmother would make these every Sunday morning when we grandchildren would stay over.
She passed away this past August, so this was a nice little treat to pop up.
Thank you from Houston!
My grandmother’s biscuit recipe listed “one egg of crisco”. Meaning, a lump of fat the size of an egg.
it'sMe TheHerpes she’s got kids...
I wonder how different that "measurement" is now then when it was written since eggs are so much bigger now, you know? When I think of egg-size is probably a lot bigger than your grandmother's days. Adorable nonetheless :)
Lol I saw the same thing in a video with a dude that makes vintage recipes and yells a lot
Hi Emmy, my mom made biscuits or cornbread for almost every supper. (she referred to lunch as dinner) She did it the way you talked about with the bowl full of flour, she kept that wooden bowl full of flour all the time & just stuck it in a cabinet reserved just for it. She baked them on a flat baking sheet, not touching so the were brown on all sides. If there were leftover bisciuts on the counter my friends would eat them up, cold! I took those biscuits for granted because I had them practically every day. Alas, I never did learn to make biscuits like Mom but I have that wooden biscuit bowl on display! Thanks for another great video, you always have the best content. XOXO
Boo Kitty what a great mom!
Aww...what a great story and I'm so happy you still have her biscuit bowl. If if looks like I imagine, it's a real treasure.
I inherited my grandma's biscuit bowl and it has been working at least weekly for almost 100 years. I've always used self rising flour so all I need do is add the lard and a punch of sugar before using a couple of forks to cut the fat into the flour. Plop in some buttermilk or heavy cream (depending on what you're eating) until you get a good dough and cut and bake.
It's a 5 minute process once you learn it. Then put the lid on the bowl and put it back in the cabinet until next time.
Boo Kitty what a sweet memory and story!
God's Blessings on All Grandparents, 👶 and their Recipes.
Nothing like homemade biscuits my nana taught me her recipe when I was 13 yrs old. A memory I will cherish forever. I still make them every Sunday
Adorable😊❤
@@missball404 awww thank you☺
@connie baldwin thank you I plan on passing it on to my little girl once she is old enough
can you share the recipe with me ? i looove family recipes 💕 god bless your nana 😊
Emmy - I was having the worst day in a while. Scrolled through my feed and didn't see anything I liked. Came back a while later and saw you posted within the last minute. TY! Your videos always do the job :)
beckify1902 ive had so many days like that and Emmy has saved me. Watching her is better than alcohol haha
I hope you feel more like yourself soon❤️ Definitely been there🤗
I hope your day gets better! Emmy is always a light in our lives ^^
Mee too mee too.. even worst i have suicide thought.. your sweet video makes me warm again.. this is the thoughest week of my life.. once again thank you emmy for cheer me up 🙏🏻
beckify1902 for real know you are loved and we are all here, just reach out
Her hair 😍I can’t.... handle....this CUTENESS
Pippi Longstocking³
She's a doll isn't she
She sure is ☺️
And then she lets out a thunderous belch and I love her even more
Emmy is a multinational treasure. 😍
When she was showing the cupboard moth larvae it reminded me of flour mites. I learned about flour mites from a neighbor she was getting ready to cook and discovered little mites in her flower. So of course she had to throw her flower away clean out her container and go back to the store. Darn those Little Critters always trying to find a way into everything!!!😲.
Thank you Amy for another wonderful educational video💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I've found the same flour mites before! I hate them! LOL and you're welcome 😂😉 JK I know you meant Emmy
Sprinkle FOOD GRADE diatomaceous earth in your cupboards after scrubbing everything and buying new stock.
@@pheart2381 Excellent, I'm going to do just that. I already keep diatomaceous earth. Thanks 😊
@@1cjadefox do make sure its food grade though. The nonfood grade isnt safe. If its safe to use around animals that will be food grade.
@@pheart2381 Oh yes, that's right. Thank you so much. I had absolutely forgotten about that. I also just finished watching the video & weebles are different than what Emmy was talking about. Thanks again for the reminder.
Yeah! This is how my friend from Ireland taught me to make scones. Except, we didn’t use a bowl, we just dumped the flour on the table and dug a hole in the center.
That's how my grandmother made biscuits...
Angel they are the same thing lol
Ah that's how my granny would make scones too! I'd never had biscuits until I visited America, and was very confused because they look so similar but taste totally different to scones (I think it's the eggs)😀
Yes, how we learned in sweden as well. And we made it round and just pre- cutted it in to four. Some recepies were too heavy with the baking powder, but some recepies were fantastic! To long of a time I made them- need to invite people to afternoon tea.
I live in Alabama, so surrounded with fantastic food like this. My Paw Paw, before he died, used to make the absolute best biscuits pretty similar to these. We always had them with white field peas to sop the juice of the peas with. It was always one of my favorite things to eat.
We also had the pantry moth problem! We found glue traps that have an enzyme they love to attract them. Solved the problem super quick.
Hurrah for alabama!
Quick scone recipe that a friend makes.( biscuits) 2 cups of self raising flour. 1 cup of cream. A pinch of salt. Mix. Bake. That's the whole thing. Works for him. Creamy and takes care of the liquid and fat. Thanks for your video's.
Nancy Curtis that’s not a scone. Scones are sweet. This is a very simple scone recipe www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/food/recipes/a536835/plain-scones/
@@jonathanfinan722 scones/biscuits are different between the UK and US. Dunno where the person is from, but I wouldn't be so quick to say "that's not a scone" because things are named differently in different places.
@@Margar02 yup. British call our cookies biscuits. Lol Scones are scones mostly BC of texture or so I've. Been told
Scones don't have to be sweet. Scones can be savory too.
@@jonathanfinan722 scones are more commonly made sweet in America but that's not the only way to make a scone.
FYI: Trader Joe’s flours are King Arthur flours with the Trader Joe’s brand label. I learned this from a TJ’s employee.
figmo397 🙌🏽
Seems sensible. Grocery stores don't actually make any food. Every 'Trader Joe's' brand is somebody else's food with a different label.
That's actually a myth, but supposedly TJ is formulated to emulate KA.
That’s incorrect because when kaf had and continues to have massive recalls for E. coli than ( 5 lb all purpose unbleached flour) than Trader Joe’s would also be having these recalls
TJ also does this with some Celestial Seasonings teas.
My granny tried her best to teach me how to make biscuits without measuring anything when I was in school. I never could get the hang of it. Every time I watched her make them it looked (and tasted) like magic. Dementia stole her away before I got the chance to ask her to teach me again.
This recipe looks like what she was trying to give me all those years ago.
I cannot tell you how happy I am to see all those sticky notes marking different recipes! I’m glad you like the book, Emmy. Enjoy!
When we built our house we built a cedar closet. We had enough cedar wood left over to make cedar pantry. What a great thing! Never had a bug or moth in either closet! You can also line an existing closet or pantry with cedar.
Nothing says "I love you" more than fresh biscuits with a meal. Mom used her flour scoop to kind of measure the flour. And, measuring spoons to pair the baking powder and sugar to the scoops of flour. Shortning was dolloped into the mix. She would fork the mix and then add milk. She would pat out the almost all mixed gloop and cut the rounds with a special glass that made them just the right size. Nothing finer! I'll have to try this mix! Thank you for sharing a part of your day with us!
My mother would make drop biscuits for biscuits and gravy. The biscuits had a bumpy outside that brown up the peaks and give you a delicious crunch. Even when smoothed in gravy.
Timothy Hays my mom makes these too!
Yes! That's how my grandmother made them. So good!
Mmmmm.... That's what my mother always made. My husband likes the flakey kind that you can pull thin layers off of though, so I tend to make them that way. Food is his love language. :-) He always knows how much of a hurry I was in by what kind of biscuits I made!
My mom made these but called them “ugly biscuits” instead of drop biscuits 🤣
Sometimes the youtube autocaps are so terrible they're wonderful:
"Eat the lucky balls" is now my favorite thing.
😂
I just discovered your channel today. What lovely energy you have. Biscuits remind me of my Mama too. She made them from scratch and cooked them on top of the woodstove in our kitchen that we burned for heat in the winter. I'll be trying this recipe.
I just thought about how you greet us beautiful lovelies and how I feel flattered every time... And here's a new video! ☺️
Thank you for making these! My great-grandmother used pretty much the exact same recipe for her biscuits, and now my mom cooks them! Granny made a batch of them for dinner almost every night for four generations of kids. When my grandmother was little, they went completely broke, with almost no money to feed themselves. Granny would buy three simple ingredients (all purpose flour, shortening, and milk) and all they would eat was biscuits and white flour gravy. Granny would cry because she couldn't feed her family, and Poppa would always hug her, kiss her on the cheek, and say "This is all a man needs" and always ate them with a smile, so they became a traditional side at dinner. There hasn't been a single family gathering without a huge batch of Granny's biscuits in decades. Seeing Emmy make them brought back precious memories of my mom and me making them together and a smile to my face. Thank you so much, Emmy ☺️
This video reminded me of my Gammy (grandma) and the way she cooked. I miss her, and her commentary, e.g. "have you ever seen a prettier tomato?" She appreciated EVERYTHING she had.
Emmys face when she's trying food always makes me think the food turned out bad, so it's always a surprise on if it's good or not!! I'm definitely trying this recipe soon, I think I definitely get the logistics of it!
“ Meet the lucky balls” that’s what the captions say when she said itdakimas
LOLOL
Dang, not anymore.
I just finished trying this, my hands are small so I only got one biscuit, but oh my goodness are these delicious. It's incredible how this quick and simple recipe has made some of the best biscuits I've ever had.
Emmy really works and studies up for this channel. I bet she dedicates many hours each day to coming up with ideas for the next video.
I had an aunt who was Kentucky born and raised. Lived there her whole life. She was a true southern cook. Tried her dead level best to teach me how to make biscuits from scratch. I missed that particular southern gene by being born in Ohio even though my parents were Southerners also lol Emmy, I believe even I may be able to make these biscuits! Thank you for sharing recipe with us 💚
Love this video! I tried this exact recipe, honestly some of the best biscuits I’ve ever had in my life!! Thanks for the great content Emmy! 💛
This reminds me of my grandma's "recipe" for tortillas ❤️
So stunning!
You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!
Emmys channel is genius. She will never run out of video ideas. Food is limitless with creativity!
My gramdma always made her biscuits with her hands. She measured by eye.
Growing up and living in the South, I was blessed to have a momma who knows how to make some killer Southern buttermilk biscuits.
I’m definitely going to try this recipe and add some cheddar cheese and garlic butter on top to make copycat Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits! 😋
Add a pinch of Old Bay seasoning to make them more authentic. So good!
They sell box mix at Costco 😍😍
Let us know if it’s three fingers of shredded cheddar or four
@emmymade because of you I started purchasing my own old cookbooks!
I. AM. IN. LOVE!!!!! These recipes have me FINALLY living my homesteading dreams, almost! 😂
I just made baked beans in my crockpot yesterday, had them cook overnight and my home smells like molasses and brown sugar today.! 😚👌🏼
Nobody ever taught me to cook or bake anything except what came in boxes and packages so this is EXCELLENT!
I watch these videos all the time, and I never end up making any of the recipes. They're just fun to watch!
However, this one? I'm definitely making this one.
This channel brings me so much indescribable joy. I love watching them before bed because it’s so calming and happy and warm lol. It’s so nice to see RUclipsrs like this where there’s no drama and it’s just a really interesting person making food. And like you don’t try to be cool or anything it seems like you’re just being you. I just really enjoy this channel. :)
“ you can’t catch me I’m the gingerbread man”. Lol I haven’t heard that in years. I love biscuits
Well you just changed my life. I make biscuits pretty regularly (several times a month), and the one thing I dislike about it is all the utensils and the rolling surface and the measuring and etc etc. It's just kind of a pain even though I can pretty much do it in my sleep. But you'd better believe from now on my biscuits are gonna, one bowl, one pan, one hand, and DONE. Thank you!!
3 ingredient scones are similar in that it involves self raising flour, cream, and fizzy lemonade. Best served with clotted cream and jam! So good!
Pantry moth prevention - bay leaves. Learned from my mom to keep them on the shelves and in every container of grains, nuts, and dried fruits. Moths are rampant in our pantry and if I slack on the bay leaves, they immediately invade.
And absolutely going to be trying this biscuit recipe - looks fabulous!
I’m soo jealous of the seasoning on your cast iorn . My boyfriend keeps washing mine but I can’t yell at him for actually washing dishes 😫
Have you tried re-seasoning it? Clean it, oil it, and pop it in a hot oven for 30 minutes or so. That's not the "official" method, but that's what I do and my cast iron looks great- and I've been washing and re-seasoning it for 12 years or so.
Yiu could try watching a video on how to preserve cast iron seasoning when he's nearby. It might give him some ideas.
There's also the old touch my cast iron & I'll hit you with it method. I've heard some people bare very protective of their cast irons seasoning. I wouldn't know because I'm liable to wash it or worse stick it in the dishwasher. Probably a good thing I don't have any.
Its definitely ok to yell a little bit when it comes to your cast iron. We have definitely had this conversation MULTIPLE times when my husband and I first got married. Rule#1, don’t use soap on my cast iron skillets and Rule #2 don’t cut anything but fabric with my fabric scissors. Now that I’m feeling understood, we get along fine 😂😂😂
@@TheSarahLindy Got it. Don't use your cast iron & make sure I sharpen your fabric scissors after using them to cut coupons.
@@TheSarahLindy haha! I'm sooo gonna have to have the same conversation with my boyfriend whenever we get married. Thank you for the laugh
Just showed this video to my 84 year old mother because she tells me all the time that I cook like her mother. Just dump everything in a bowl and cook it. My Grandmother never measured anything when she cooked, but she kept 3 kids and a husband fed during the depression. I never got to ask my grandmother for her recipes, so your channel is the closest i'll get. Thank you, Emmy!
emmy im pretty sure you can do anything. youre a kitchen superhero!
In the UK we call Biscuits, Scones. I make them every Saturday as our mid day treat. However I don't use sugar in them but put dried fruit such as Sultanas in them.
220 gm self raising flour (ie with added raising agent. ) 1 tea spoon baking powder, !/2 tea spoon salt, mix, 60 gm butter or margarine add enough milk to make a slightly sticky dough. Like you I shape with my hands this makes 6 or 7 for me. Brush top with milk. Cook on 200 deg C oven for 14 minutes. Whats not to like. If you can do this you can make soda bread - Its just a really BIG scone. Bakes for at least 40 minutes.
I haven’t even started the video but those biscuits look amazing ! 😋
I watched this, started craving biscuits, and made some. I tripled the recipe, used yogurt mixed with a couple tablespoons of half & half instead of buttermilk, and half butter, half coconut oil instead of shortening (I'm out of shortening, but have used this mix before successfully) and they're DELICIOUS! 💜💙💜💙💜🌞🧙🏻♀️THANK YOU EMMY!
Hi emmy, I've been having a really rough couple of days and have cried for like 8 hours today. Watching this video was the first time that I've felt a sense of peace and felt relaxed. Thank you so much for helping me feel better, love you, emmy!
😩 How have I not known about this all my life?!!! 34 years wasted!!! Lol THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR THIS ENLIGHTENING and LIFE CHANGING RECIPE!!! 😍😍
“Tiny” little biscuits? How big are biscuits usually because they look pretty regular size to me😂😂🤷🏽♀️
That's the size I always make.
I gave these a try and love them I've been making them (albeit a little variation with some spices) every night thank you Emmy for the wonderful recipe
Love your channel !! I almost wished that you would’ve kept the small batch of dough that you made first, separated from the second batch , and baked them separately to see if there was a difference in taste and texture etc
Greetings from Florida (Ft. Lauderdale) !!! Happy Chinese Lunar New year by the way (if you celebrate ) !!!!!
I just made this recipe for the first time. Perfect. I used water instead of any form of milk. Great pantry recipe with no refrigerated ingredients necessary.
Cooking for one is such a valuable skill to develop, not only for us seniors, but also for young students and such.
I’ve recently been making flour tortillas in ones and twos, with just flour, oil, salt and water. And also smaller corn tortillas in twos and threes, using just Maseca corn flour and water.
Never had pantry moths... I’ve had pantry mice though. You can definitely tell when they been in your flour or cornmeal, it makes a huge mess 😂 Plastic or glass bins definitely help 👍
My favorite biscuits are cream biscuits. It’s just SR flour and heavy whipping cream with a pinch of salt. It’s how I used up my leftover heavy cream after all that holiday cooking.
Must know the same cook! Lol.
Sarah Dalton Hot tip: buy peanut butter in the chungus 4 lb jars and then wash them out when empty and put bulk flours in them. The lid is sealed tight and perfect for storing food items.
Sarah Dalton - we had the occasional mouse as well. One named Simon which lived behind the Aga stove until our housekeeper caught him with a sticky strip. We protected and fed him for a good 3 months before being found out.
Always learning on Emmy's channel. 😁
I bought the king Arthur flour on sale too!!
Almond flour, AP flour, cake flour, tapioca flour/starch etc!
I use ibotta for cash back, too!!
❤
You’re uploading like crazy recently, I love it!
I've been uploading 3 videos a week (Monday, Thursday, Saturday) for years. 😂
@@emmymade Go hard Emmy. Love the trials and tribulations. Thank you for introducing us to all that is edible. Wish you many years of experience to pass on.
My first mother in law made biscuits just like this, with the delightful addition of whatever grease happened to be in the coffee can sitting next to the stove. Hamburger grease, old oil... Best biscuits I ever ate in my life. She was a country girl from Alabama, and one helluva cook. RIP Liz.
Emmmyyy! You look so sweet in this vid! I always watch a couple of your videos every night before bed. Love you and hope you’re doing well! ❤️
I grew up with my grandparents and they made biscuits the way you described. We had this big round container of flour that had a lid for storage. When my grandmother made biscuits she just pulled it out, made a well in the flour and added all the jazz. When she was done, the lid went back on, and it went back in the cabinet.
I love your tshirt!
I love buscuits, this one sounds delicious 🖤
Try making "carolinas"/beignet, a Brazilian dessert ✨
My grandmother makes what me and my family think are the best southern biscuits in existence. Nothing better than waking up to grandma and grandpa in the kitchen cooking breakfast. My grandma has not made biscuits for a few years now because of her declining health. I decided to master her recipe, several batches of hockey pucks later, I can turn out a batch that may come close to being half as good as my grandmas. only problem is I seem to only be able to make a batch large enough to feed a small army, oh well there are worse problems to have. Great job Emmy!
Saving this video. Need to make this. It's so easy!!! Well you made it look easy! I have big hands so I'll for sure have big batches! 😉
Emmy, Home-Made biscuits are ALWAYS Best!! 😊☀️👍 there’s so many great things you can eat them with and even do with them. The excellent accompaniment with stews, Soups, roasts, breakfast, anything savory or that you would need a slice of bread with biscuits are not only warm and comforting but they add extra love to the meal too. I say I love because it’s homemade and as we all know homemade food is always some thing that gives an extra warm feeling because you take the time out to make some thing special for your loved ones and family. When you were making these biscuits, I right away thought of my mom (Lord Rest Her soul). She used to do what was called drop biscuits. Which is similar to the recipe but just a loser batter and take a small measuring cup (not too small), and drop them on a greased cookie sheet. They made a bigger biscuit, but the lumps and bumps were more noticeable. These worked terrific with what I mentioned earlier in the post. The good thing about homemade biscuits also is there quite versatile you can even make a version of shortcake with them. Or what would seem to taste like a shortcake, just with buttermilk. You would just need to add a little more sugar or honey instead of sugar to the batter and like the recipe you were doing in this video, the biscuits will be A little sweeter tasting. Which goes delicious with strawberries berries sliced peaches (fresh macerated) so many possibilities. Anyway, just wanted to share. Thank you for sharing this video as always you are awesome!! Keep being awesome!! 😊☀️👍
PS: have you ever thought of possibly having a show on food TV? You would be great on the show. Just wanted to share. 😊
You have a LOT of bookmarks! You must like what you see. Cool shirt!
What would you have called these? 🧐
Fresh biscuits are great, but so are leftover biscuits. My mother would slice them up and fry them in the skillet the next day. Delicious!
2:29 "i started putting all my dry goods in conainers" that was one of my aunts catch phrases, she used to ALWAYS say it. it was code for putting on a bra..
Those look like the biscuits my mom used to make! I never learned how and even with baking mix I can only make hockey pucks! I will definitely be trying this since this is the way she used to make them.
Try wrapping the dough around a chunk of cheese. OMG, Heaven!
My mama makes biscuits for me everytime I visit her in the tennessee smoky mountains!
Hey weve had alot of issues with them aswell one of the best ways we found to store flour is in the freezer! it also increases the shelf life of it! and its so nice to just run your hands through freezing cold flour! :D

My grandmother always made biscuits and chocolate gravy on a cold summer morning inn the Ozarks. Took me forever to learn how to make chocolate gravy, but I did and it's my favorite way to have biscuits
My mom makes them like this they come out uneven but I love them they’re so good the imperfections is what makes it she also makes sausage gravy to go with it 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Oh... 🤤 A good scratch made breakfast, that is. Great biscuits and a nice silky sausage black pepper gravy. Mmmmm.
pluckydono I love it sometimes she’ll use spicy sausage or maple sausage and 🤤🤤🤤🤤
My grandmother told a loving story about her own mama making cornbread or biscuits on her old fashioned kitchen table, which had built in drawers with flour or corn meal. She simply scooped all the ingredients onto the table and mixed it like you did here. She used her cast iron spider skillet with a cover...burying it in the hot coals of the fireplace. By the time the men were done with the morning chores of milking the cows or collecting eggs, the bread would be hot and ready, crispy on the outside. Of course they served it with their own dairy butter and blackberry jam made from the berries picked in the summer by the whole family, or the apple butter made from the neighbor's orchard. My great-grandfather was so very fond of that cornbread and jam, or biscuits and apple butter!
*"Pillsbury Doughboy" your Biscuits better watch out now, all because we're down to make Homemade 1's & they're the BEST out of the Top 10 list. Anyways! Nice job & thanks, for playing Weekdays video.*
Watching Emmy always makes me happy. She just has this wonderful, gentle aura that makes everything delightful.
Got that Hood buttermilk haha
I used to bake biscuits pretty much just like that. When I was younger I seldom measured anything when I baked, I just eyeballed everything. I still do some things like that. Works great!
Pantry moths are awful. I keep all my flours, dried fruits, etc., in glass jars. I have big gallon jars for flour and other high volume ingredients.
Love me some biscuits! ... a lil honey or preserves on the side too.
Yes! I make so many batches of homemade soup just for my daughter and I....but I didn't have a quick easy recipe for a few fresh quick biscuits to go with! Can't wait to try this with our crock pot split pea soup tomorrow! Wonderful!
That would be a great recipe to have memorized for camping. As long as you bring the ingredients youd be able to make biscuits over the fire and wouldnt even need measuring cups.
Yep, just your hands.
The biscuit recipe you made here is actually a staple in the southern U.S. My mother was from Mississippi and made them several times per week and just like you did, she never measured. They were great with butter caramel syrup. She would add some sugar in a skillet and when it caramelized add water and then boil it until thick. If she didn't feel like making individual biscuits, she would press the entire ball of dough into the iron skillet and cook it on the stove until it was done and then flip it to finish cooking. I make it now and then but I use butter instead of shortening although shortening produces a much lighter fluffier product. (Trying to limit my intake of shortening.) Great video as always!
This is what we call drop biscuits down here in the deep south.
Here in the Midwest they’re cat head biscuits :>
Those are drop biscuits in the northeast as well, drop them into boiling soup and they're dumplings. 😉
Shawn Wayne I’m in the Midwest (Chicago) and we call them drop biscuits here.
Emmy your face is pure joy when you bit into that biscuit. Thank you, you are delightful.
Oooh I'm early!! Love you Ms. Emmy!!
The one thing that would make that absolutely superb is if you would have made your own butter! They look delish. It brought me back to my grandmother's kitchen in their homemade house across the creek and up a dirt road to their house on the hill. Many many years ago. Thanks for the flashback!
I love you videos so so much! You’ve taught me so much about cooking! ✨
Oh wow. I need to admit, I've been watching you for several years, but I never cooked anything, well, for a number of reasons (laziness, forgetfulness, etc.), but this... I've been avoiding any dough, because all my attempts always fail, but today I realized I had no bread, and there you are with this recipe a toddler can make, so I decided to give it a try. And it's the first time the result was so amazing, I could not believe my senses! Thank you! You are my hero today!
You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!
And I'm THE MUFFIN MAN!
There’s a book called The buttermilk biscuit boy. Same concept. Super creepy. Lol
Potato chocolate cake caught my attention. When growing up, one of my grandmothers, and later my mother, would make potato chocolate cake for my birthday. I do have my grandmother's recipe for this cake and have made it in the past. Of course, the cake and frosting were chocolate, so moist, and has been a favorite of mine for about 60 years.
hello everybody! have a good day! yay Emmy uploaded !
Thanks, & I'm feeling the same way for you also.///

You do excellent work. Always fun & educational and occasionally weird.😁
I saw the word biscuit and couldn't click fast enough..
Emmy here in NC, we slice the old biscuits in half. slather with butter, and pop them under the broiler until golden brown. We never throw food away. Love your videos!
Bought a used copy of the recipe book on Ebay and used my soon to be expiring Ebay bucks. Cost me a 1.27.
Awwwww, my dear sweet great aunties used to make biscuits in a very similar manner each morning. They had a flour bowl with their special flour mix just for making biscuits. Hadn't thought of that in a long time. Thank you Emmy. ❤
