I've never been a biscuit maker. I usually buy Bisquik mix or something similar and make desired biscuits. Our church is having a chicken & biscuit dinner this coming Friday. One of the ladies was just going to purchase the biscuits already made at BJ's (similar to Sam's Club). Well I got this recipe from a lady who said they make ck & biscuits for their church's funeral dinners. So this morning I decided to test 2 different recipes...her's & one I found in Southern Livings. Carol's won hands down! Very simple & very tasty.


Carol Thomas' Biscuits

8 C flour
2 tsp salt
2 tsp bkg soda
5 Tbsp + 1 tsp bkg pwd
1 1/4 C Shortening
4 C milk


450 12-15 minutes makes 3-4 doz depending on cutter size


I only make 1/2 recipe & mixed the first 5 ingredients in my food processor until crumbly. Dumped into a big bowl, added milk, and mixed with fork. Super easy. I talked to Carol afterwards & she said she mixes the first 5 ingredients together & places it in a plastic bag & doesn't add the milk until she's actually ready to make & bake them. Good idea!

Looks good - I have a huge collection of biscuit recipes but usually just use the one on the Clabber Girl can.

This biscuits sounds also new to me. Well. I guess I have to try it out to see.

I know - one should make biscuits once a week.

wow great sharing... this is easy to do buddy...i'll gonna make some biscuits this coming weekend
