Favorite biscuit?

Popeye's biscuits are wonderful. I'm not even fat.

Shirley Chorriher, a food scientist, wrote a science-based cookbook called “Cookwise” which has a terrific recipe for her “Touch of Grace” biscuits. They are feather light and the best I’ve ever had.

Best part about going to Popeye's. Use the drive-thru, get a half-dozen, skip the chicken.

Popeye's is the best fast food biscuit, followed by Hardee's and Bojangles'. For homemade biscuits, I like the simple recipe found on Martha White Flour sack, for Hot Rize biscuits.

THE only thing I look forward to on Thanksgiving.

You can have them anytime R5!

A few years ago, a DLer posted a rave review and the recipe for Butter Swim Biscuits. They are REALLY good.

I should add that in that recipe I linked to I mentions using White Lily flour, which is a southern brand. Pilsburys or King Arthur flour is made from a different type of wheat which has more gluten. White Lily is made from lower-gluten winter red wheat and makes a more tender crumb.

Her recipe also makes a very wet dough and if you see the women at Hardee’s making their dough in tv commercials, theirs is a very soft, wet dough. The extra moisture makes them bake up puffy and light. Nothing is worse than a sense, dry biscuit.

*dense

Thanks for the info R8 I did not know that.

R7 there’s some serious food porn in that link! Have you made them?

The one Roy Rogers used in their Strawberry Shortcake. OMG, the salt and the sweet - heaven when I was a kid.

I don’t have access to a Popeye’s. I do like the biscuits from KFC.

[quote][R7] there’s some serious food porn in that link! Have you made them?

Yes, I have. Not too often, though, because it's too easy to eat the whole batch in one day. (They're that good.) I've also tried cutting the recipe in half and baking it as a loaf. That works well, too, and limits the piggishness.

Hands down.....Popeyes. KFC a close second

I went out to breakfast a while back and ordered a biscuit with my meal. It came out all soggy and weeping grease. Turns out they had microwaved it. Sent it back. Gross, I'll have toast thanks.

R1, Bitch, you are fat.

Another vote for Popeye's biscuits.

...

Years ago Hardees had good biscuits but haven been in awhile.

Here in California Carl’s Jr. claims they make & bake their biscuits fresh every morning. They don’t really taste like it though.

Biscuithead. A small chain in Asheville NC and Greenville SC is fantastic. It honestly blew me away when I went there on a visit to Asheville.

To be honest, I usually use bisquick and the biscuits come out delicious. The recipe provided above in this thread is for self-rising flour, which, like bisquick, already has baking powder and salt in it. Bisquick adds the shortening too, so you can either add milk or cream to make the dough. I have made biscuits from scratch, which includes using regular flour and adding baking powder, but that's a riskier proposition, since baking powder won't make the biscuits rise if it's past its expiration date. But there's a sweet potato biscuit that a friend of mine makes that is really yummy. Basically, you just add some mashed sweet potato to the flour, baking powder, shortening mixture (or use self-rising flour as above). It substitutes for some of the liquid in other recipes.

Yes, Bisquick does make good biscuits.

I was addicted to Hardee's breakfast biscuits. I ate them every morning until the one that was in my area closed.

BOJANGLES.

and they have the best fried chicken too.

20+ replies, no mention of Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay Biscuits?! For shame, DL.

I think KFC biscuits are severely underrated.

You beat me to it, R27. RL's biscuits are in a class by themselves!

I agree R28 - KFC's biscuits are the best. So light and fluffy.

Anyone who eats at KFC or Popeyes is a HUUUGE red flag. Have some respect to dine out at independent or better places. Unless you live in a city with less than 50,000 people it’s a big NO.

R31 you can dine out in my asshole if you like...munch away girl, is that Independent enough for you?

No. Now make some homemade biscuits if you like em so damn much you fatty and stop buying Frozen biscuits from Popeyes. It’s literally 5 ingredients lazy.

Try Tudor's when you're in WV. Biscuitville in NC was originally the idea of the Tudor's guy.

Came here to say that, R20. Hardee’s cinnamon raisin biscuits covered in that thick glaze. I don’t know if it should be a considered a “good” biscuit, but definitely a rare guilty pleasure. I used to eat them every Saturday morning when I was a surprisingly not fat kid. I also second Tudor’s. I live in WV and will have one on occasion. They are massive, crispy and buttery on the outside, and the fluffy center melts in your mouth. Very good with an egg and slice of bacon in between. I’m leaving this thread while I’m still skinny.

I grew up in an area that did not value a good biscuit. It wasn’t until my 20s at a truck stop in Tennessee that I actually had an amazing biscuit! Ever since then I have a softspot for them. I went to Yardbird in LA recently and their biscuits were pretty great.

I too love Popeyes biscuits!

Here’s a list for you R36........

I do not understand people saying that KFC has good biscuits. Their biscuits are horrible and tasteless.

[QUOTE]It wasn’t until my 20s at a truck stop in Tennessee that I actually had an amazing biscuit!

That biscuit probably wasn’t the only thing you had in your mouth there.

Popeye's biscuits have a strange chemical taste. I think its the margarine.

All those big fast food chains make their biscuits with something other than real butter. The best biscuits are made with natural butter.

You can buy the RL biscuit mix at the grocery store and it’s super eay to make. Fuckin delicious.

R41 I disagree, butter is nice as a topping, but shortening is best to make the actual dough.

You should never be allowed to touch a biscuit again r43.

R44

But the author of that piece agrees with me that butter biscuits are a better product. She mentions shortening is cheaper and easier to work with.

That's what you use in your defense?

She also says it is a matter of personal taste and that shortening will never give you a bad biscuit. Shortening tends to make a lighter fluffier biscuit, whereas butter based biscuits tend to be denser, because it tends to create larger gluten strands.

I love Hardee's biscuits. I cook Grand's at home and they are very good. I like my biscuits moist.

Scones. Now that's the real shit...

R31, The only HUUUGE thing is your ass gurl. Now, go fetch momma a cool drink.

Popeye's biscuits are the best. The Red Lobster cheddar biscuits are not bad either. I sound like trash, don't I.

But you can't have a biscuit without sausage gravy.

This was on my local news yesterday.

The new Pillsbury™ Sweet Hawaiian Crescent Rolls are pretty good but my favorite is the Grands!™ Southern Homestyle Honey Butter Biscuits

In the Midwest where I live, Bob Evans has the best biscuits. They make Popeye's taste like hockey pucks. The problem with all biscuits, though, is they're loaded with fat and sodium. So, I only eat them about once every 6 months.

Fat? Sodium? Add sugar and Mama likey!

R53 that lady is awesome! I hope she’s doing it because she enjoys it not because she has to to keep food on the table.

Should I try to make biscuits this morning?

There’s a local small chain in Houston called Kelly’s. Huge biscuits the size of a dinner plate. So good but it’s a place for really fat people. Good country cooking with an obese country clientele.

Y'all are a bunch of fatties! No biscuits because they're carbs and that makes you fat and unfuckable

So no toast, bagels, potatoes, rice R60? What am I supposed to eat for breakfast?

DUST

I can't eat them anymore (wheat! carbs!), but I make a version where you melt the butter, let it get as cool as possible without reverting to solid form, and then stir the butter into ice-cold buttermilk so it forms tiny beads. Then mix with your dry ingredients. You get luscious, tender, flavorful biscuits.

That's what I aim for, a biscuit with real flavor, unlike these bland things some of you love.

R61 Eggs and bacon you damn American Frau. Most the world doesn't eat carbs and sugar for breakfast. That's gross.

I've been perfecting my biscuit recipe for a few years. Ultimately, the trick is not to overwork the dough and to keep your ingredients ice cold before mixing - even your flour!

Not a fan of Fiery Biscuits.

Anyone ever play Soggy Biscuits?

Really R66? Did you have to ruin a perfectly good thread with that eyesore?

Bob Evans

Bizzzcitts!!!

I love Hardees biscuits even though they are loaded with everything you shouldn't eat. I do them on occasion. At home I love fixing Grands butter style biscuits.

Popeyes biscuit with their red beans and rice is delicious...

....

My paternal grandmother's. I'm an eldergay who grew up in the rural south. I have no idea of her recipe or how to get it.
