Can you make biscuits from scratch?

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

Mine tells me I don't have to do that. Yea ya do.

There's tons of recipes out there but it's pretty basic. AP flour, baking powder, salt, frozen butter, and milk or buttermilk. Shred the frozen butter using a cheese grater is one great trick. The other is not overworking the dough. Work the ingredients together gently. I've used Southern Biscuit biscuit mix quite a bit. It has little pieces of lard already incorporated. Just add milk of buttermilk. I couldn't find a decent biscuit cutter to make big cathead biscuits. I bought a stainless steel rice bowl from one of the asian markets. It's the right size to make big biscuits and has nice sharp edges so it cuts clean. I always had the biscuit mix at hunt camp. I got to where I didn't even measure the milk. I could eyeball it and get it right. We didn't have an oven and we mastered cooking biscuits on the grill. These biscuits were perfect with a couple of heaping scoops of sausage gravy.

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.

My Wife ain't the cook her parents were. She rarely makes anything from scratch. I missed the boat on that one

I use buttermilk.

This! Biscuits aren’t complicated. You don’t really even have to measure. Flour and buttermilk. Grated frozen butter if you like. Easy.
