The Best Soul Food Biscuits

By Kathy Smith


Whenever I produce these tender, from-scratch buttermilk biscuits, people scarf them down. They quickly get a hold of the whole batch of biscuits right off of the baking pan before I can get a spatula to move them to a serving tray and then walk them over to the kitchen table.


Due to the fact biscuits are fresh via the oven, folks often toss the piping hot biscuits forwards and backwards between their fingers when getting back to the breakfast table. I get to hear mutterings of, "ouch"...."hot, so,so hot!" It always makes me chuckle.


Once seated, people cut the biscuits in half and add either butter or strawberry jam to each half. Steam wafts out of the delicate, flaky middle and the butter rapidly melts into the biscuits.

List of Ingredients:


two cups cake flour (White Lilly flour is definitely the company of choice for preparing biscuits in the South)

teaspoon baking soda


teaspoon salt


teaspoon salt

teaspoon baking soda


- one cup lowfat buttermilk








Freely make up the dough to produce a 1" thick rectangle. Do not overwork the dough. The rectangle really should just just maintain together. Cut the dough in biscuits and place on your greased baking pan. Cook inside oven for 10 minutes or until eventually softly browned on the top.

Loosely build the dough in to a 1" thick rectangular shape. You should not overwork the dough. The rectangular shape needs to just slightly keep together. Cut the dough in to biscuits and place upon a greased baking pan. Bake within the oven for 10 minutes or until finally softly browned on top.
