Recently four of us traveled to Tunica and had the pleasure of eating in your restaurant. That was my best experience. Your biscuits were just like my moms. Your bread pudding was the best I had ever tassted. Everyone of us in our party enjoyed and raved about every thing we tasted and believe me, we tasted it all. There was even a large cutout of you in front of the restaurant and we all had our pictures taken with you. Well, it was the next best thing to having you with us. God truly blessed you with a special, and it is so nice that you are using it. Thanks Pat Hoskins

I just made them. Really yummy. I haven't made biscuits before, as I'm the pastry chef of my friends. I do the cookies, cupcakes, cakes, souffles, etc. for them and myself. I've got about 8 left now...soon to be 7.....Thanks Paula!!!!

Shortening is basically solidified vegetable oil... so it's like the same consistency of butter, only it is flavorless.... Using shortening in biscuits makes the biscuits really flakey and light though- it gives them a much better texture, while the butter in the recipe provides flavor. A stick of butter is about 114 grams (113.5 to be exact). And you really shouldn't substitute self-rising flour for all purpose flour plus the baking powder/salt. The ratio of ingredients in self-rising flour probably isn't the same as the ratio of flour to leavening in this recipe- hence why the recipe calls for all-purpose flour rather than self-rising. Your self-rising flour probably doesn't have as much baking powder in it as the recipe mandates, so your biscuits will most likely be less fluffy and not rise as much.

I was watching one of your shows and you did a recipe for cheese biscuits, you mention using a biscuit mix of yours but I can not find the recipe for that mix. I would like to know what you have in it so I can use your recipe rather than using a store brought mix. thanks for your time.. Love your show and recipes.. Sissy

Paula, I need your help with this recipe. I can't get biscuits to brown on top. I have made it 3 times and I did preheat oven each time. 1st time buttermilk and cheese were chilled from fridge, Crisco was room temp. 2nd time only cheese was chilled, Crisco and buttermilk were room temp. 3rd time Cheese, buttermilk and Crisco were room temp. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong. They did taste good, just were pale! Thank you very much for your assistance. Jean
