Can you make biscuits from scratch?

[Stampede]

Here is the latest batch I made - I'm getting better at it. They taste great, but aren't the prettiest.

I just go by the recipe on the White Lily flour package and bake them at 475.

What is your recipe, or secret, to great homemade biscuits??

I tried it once. They came out hard as a rock. That's back when Hardee's had a commercial saying they made scratch biscuits every day, and I said bull**** to that. Then one day we were in a Hardees in Alabama for a breakfast, and my wife snuck in the back to grab the biscuit maker, and told her the story. She was about 80 years old, and she brought me out a fresh biscuit just to prove she made them every day. I think I still got the pic from that day. What a wonderfully funny woman.

My scratch recipe is self rising flour and heavy cream - that's it! Mix it up, roll it and cut them out. 475 until they're done.

My wife calls them womp biscuits, cause you have to womp them on the counter to open the tube.

I just get the ole lady to make them

She either makes them or gets a big bag of frozen premade grands from Sam’s to keep in the freezer and we just pop a few in the oven when we want them. They are great !!

My wife can do it. I'll get the recipe from her later. She learned it from her grandmother who was born in 1900. I remember watching her grandma making the dough, pinching off a certain amount and then rolling it into a ball between the fingers (palms) of both hands. Then she'd put the ball of dough in a baking pan and flatten it gently with the back of her fingers. It was like watching an artist or surgeon work. They floated off the plate and into your mouth.
