Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe
Biscuits should never EVER come out of a tube. They're just too easy to make. When you can, please join the Society for the Elimination of Whomp Biscuits - Whomp Biscuits are called that because when you crack the tube it makes a "whomp" sound. ... More

  3. Cut in the shortening until coarse crumbs form.
  4. Add buttermilk, tossing and mixing until the dough forms.
  5. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.

Not to be mean about it but I for one hope your little society never takes off. LOL I have never been able to master the art of home made biscuits ( and I have tried and tried) and my family has had home made biscuits from a lot of people but they like my Pillsbury Flaky canned biscuits better than any home made they have tasted. Plus I don't want to get out of bed and have to deal with a mess like that every morning. Canned biscuits will forever rule at Gem's house. LOL :o)


This looks GREAT and I also think that the best biscuits are homemade =) they are great with butter and honey! =)


I have done this a time or 2, I am going to do this again for my sweetie soon. Nothing comes close to a buttermilk buscuit.I like some red-eye gravy on mine too.


Homemade rules. I'm going to try it 2nite


Ah, the ONLY thing that's good with whop biscuits is deer meat steaks. Yep, it's true.


I love your comments on the recipe. How do I join this society?
I think that there are so many wonderful foods that are so easy to prepare and taste so much better, that there is no reason to buy pre-made, preservative filled, junk. Biscuits of all things are so easy to make, and they taste so much better then Whomp biscuits.
