My mom grew up mostly in Texas, and her mother, my grandmother, made biscuits by feel, White Lily self-rising flour, shortening, and buttermilk. And while she grew up on biscuits, I grew up on yeast bread. It wasn’t until I moved to Kentucky and started catering that learning how to make perfectly flaky and tender biscuit became a goal.
I think we have mastered it, and now we make scratch cream biscuits, best with just a touch of honey butter, herbed biscuits that I think make the best BLTs with thick-cut, smoky bacon, arugula, and tomato jam, or these sweet potato biscuits with country ham and peach pepper jelly.
