Sorry, I'll try to be better about staying on topic.

Yeah, but who suggested using my dirty tequila glass for cutting biskits :lol:

I've always found mild thread diversions, after the original topic has been covered, to be entertaining. A bit of good natured humor is good for the soul.

I don't believe in those yankee biscuits that have sugar added to the mix. IF I wanted a doughnut I'd start out making them instead of biscuits.

(And I've always wondered WHY commercial and cookbook 'Southern' style biscuits have some much grease in them compared to what I grew up with.)

We probably should sort out the food discourse to the topic bucket and add to the lubrication data.
You guys making work for me over that first cup of coffee!

COFFEE??? with biscuits? Where's the Tequila? Oh yeah, JD drank it all.


JD, you wanted the glass to be dirty, so I rolled it in lard, flour, and buttermilk. Now it's dirty!

Have you never put a big pat of butter and some sugar into a hot biscuit? You must be from New York City :lol:

A couple of my siblings got together at our house Saturday night for dinner. And talk got around to how our Dad use to cut a nice sized chunk of extra sharp cheddar for his hot biscuit. He would lay the chunk on his fork and then dip it in his hot coffee until it got soft. Then he'd put it into that biscuit, man that was good with the little hint of coffee mixed in with the cheese and lard flavors.


I know what you mean about all the grease! But they do taste good that way. And those greazy garlic biscuit things you get at Red Lobster are wonderful!

Sounds really good, going to try this.

Yes they are! Not worth a hoot reheated though!

It takes a lot of will power, but I've been limiting myself to just one biscuit at breakfast.

So in my cheesy biscuit recipe the cheddar IS EXTRA sharp.
Shred it and mix it into the biscuit dry mix before the milk by color.
The grated or finely shredded parm goes in by the heaping tablespoon or half a handful.
I've had several folks claim they are excellent without anything added in them but if I serve them with fried chicken or bacon and sausage I generally get good comments on those as well. Had a co-worker in Mobile offer to buy me a big honking cookie sheet and/or stainless mixing bowl if I'd bring more in.

There is a decided difference in putting a spoonful of sugar on one of grandma's biscuits as a kid VS. adding sugar to the biscuit dough a-la that Yankee corn cake they call cornbread. I don't think I ever mixed sugar and butter though, one or the other but by choice a thick slab or two of fatback bacon or butter.

The recipe I grew up with used about 1/2 the amount of grease compared to what most cookbooks call for in a Southern style biscuit. The only places I think I ever saw any biscuits that were that greasy were made in chain restaurants.
