Can I mix the dry ingredients and butter up ahead? I would like to make them camping and wondering if I can mix most of it ahead then add the milk while out in the woods. These are really easy to make and very fluffy, served with honey YUMMMMMM

Hi Paula: Looks yummy and I will try these. I use to make good biscuits and now that I haven't done it in a while, I'm a little rusty. Do you have a recipe for Cottage Cheese with dill weed onion bread?

With regard to the Biscuit Mix Recipe - I too saw the show today, 02.24.12 and they said the recipe for the "mix" could be found on-line. It's not. Also, they did not use butter or lard today when making their biscuits. I think it is fluff and just another gimmick get you to come to the site for hits. I won't watch this anymore. Very deceiving.

I haven't tried these yet but want to. Does it matter if salted or unsalted butter is used?

These are the best biscuits I've ever made! Cold butter is key and make sure your baking powder is fresh. I like to throw in about a half cup of cheese (cheddar is good, so is mozzarella) and some red pepper flakes. The cheese makes the biscuits hold together a little better and the red pepper flakes give them a nice little kick. If adding cheese, bake an extra 5-10 minutes. Also, I mold the biscuits by hand and only make 6 big biscuits. I don't see how anyone could possibly make more than 10 decent sized biscuits out of this recipe. Excellent recipe all around!

hello! How I LOVE Paula Dean. I DVR the shows & cook the recipes. I am even planning a trip to Savannah & I'll eat at Lady&Sons;. Reason for my comment: I need to buy creme brulee dishes--I clicked on the "SHOP PAULA'S STORE" above and it did not go to the store, just sat, nothing. Just FYI. Love Lynda xxoo

Love these biscuits! I make them with half white flour & half whole wheat flour. I also cook them for about 5 minutes longer so the outside gets a little crispy, but the inside stays fluffy. Thanks, Paula, for another great-tasting recipe! Love your banana bread recipe, too!! smile

how could you make these with whole-wheat to make them healthier? I love biscuits but need some healthier ways to make them.

To the girl whose biscuits didn't rise.....Maybe your baking powder is old sometimes you just need to buy a fresh can?

These biscuits are the best biscuits I've ever had. They were not difficult at all to make. They taste like fluffy mounds of heaven.
