I have seen this 3 part biscuit self-rising flour half and half and butter but they are like drop ones. From what I've seen you can't make a sandwich outta that biscuit

How do I make a big biscuit?

2 cups flour
1 Tablespoon of baking powder
1 Teaspoon of salt
1 Teaspoon white sugar
1 stick cold butter cut into small pieces
3/4 cup whole milk

Preheat oven to 425 with a large black iron skillet inside
Mix dry ingredients thoroughly
Cut the butter into dry ingredients till incorporated
Add milk, but fold it in and be careful not to overstir
Generously spread flour onto your counter to prevent your dough sticking
Put dough onto counter and start to flatten with hands to about 1/3 inch
Fold it onto self and flatten 8-10 times
On final flattening cut out biscuits with a 3" round dough cutter
Take black iron pan out and throw 1/3 stick of butter to melt
Place biscuits tightly into pan then flip them once in pan to coat with butter
Bake for 15-18 minutes.

GW Fins' Signature Biscuits

Makes 8 servings

4 cups White Lily self rising flour

3/4 cups lard

1-1/2 cup milk

4 tablespoon or 1/4 cup sugar

Vegetable oil spray

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Chill all ingredients. Gently mix flour and lard together with pastry blender (or fork) just until fat is worked in and the mixture is a coarse crumb consistency.

Add sugar. Toss. Make a well in center of dry ingredients. Add milk into well and gently mix to make soft dough. Allow to rest for a few minutes.

Scoop dough onto lightly greased baking sheet.

Bake for 8 minutes. Serve immediately with soft, sweet butter.

We made these for Christmas Eve after eating at GW Fins on Thanksgiving. Awesome drop biscuits.

John Folse Biscuits with a few tweaks:

1/3 C butter
2 C SR flour
1 TBSP baking powder (his recipe doesn't call for it, but it makes them fluffier)
3/4 C buttermilk (I use whatever milk we have in the fridge; almond milk, half and half, whatever)

Mix dry ingredients. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter until crumbly. Add milk a little at a time until moist. Turn out dough onto floured surface and fold over and pat several times. Roll out to 3/4" thickness and cut with a large biscuit cutter. Bake at 425 for 10-15 min.

It is so easy to do and makes a great biscuit sandwich.

I would love to have the original Popeye’s biscuit recipe and the blueberry one they used to make back in the early days! Nothing like them today in my opinion.

There's no doubt about what I am worst at cooking. It's biscuits. I end up with elementary school paste that sticks to everything. My wife has begged me to to ever try again. If I do, it will be one of those no-touch recipes where you make creases with a spatula after pouring the mix in the pan.

You gotta be a miserable sumbitch to downvote a biscuit recipe.

I made a Popeyes copycat recipe that used 7UP. The biscuit was similar but not Popeyes.

Drop Biscuits
Ingredients
• 264 grams Swans Down Cake Flour
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 1½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon table salt
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
• 105 grams frozen lard
• 1½ cups chilled buttermilk
• 4 tablespoons salted butter (2 tablespoons softened, 2 tablespoons melted)
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 425°F.
2. Chill Ingredients: To ensure the best results, refrigerate all ingredients (except the butter) before starting.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda into the bowl of a food processor.
4. Add Lard: Cut the frozen lard into tablespoon-sized pieces and scatter them over the flour mixture. Pulse the food processor 5–10 times until the lard forms pea-sized lumps coated in flour.
5. Combine with Buttermilk: Transfer the mixture to a large chilled bowl. Make a well in the center, pour in the buttermilk, and gently stir until the dough just comes together. The dough should be slightly wet and sticky. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (but no more than 3 hours).
6. Form Biscuits: Line a baking sheet with a parchment paper. Use a large spoon to scoop the dough into 10 mounds on the baking sheet, spacing them at least 1 inch apart. Top each mound with a small dollop of softened butter.
7. Bake: Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
8. Finish with Butter: Remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter.

My wife did the Paula Deen recipe last week, easy and good. I'm an iron skillet. Don't roll too thin.

My recipe, which is a slightly modified take on Southern Living biscuits:

2 Cup White Lily SRF
4 tbps Frozen Butter, Grated
2 Tbs Shortening
Pinch Sugar
Pinch Baking Soda

Combine Flour, Butter, Shortening, Sugar, Baking Soda, cut with pastry blender

Add buttermilk, stir, then put on floured surface, fold 5-7x, flattening by hand.

Press out to 1/2" to 3/4" thick and cut. Bake at 475 for 13 minutes brushing with melted butter in the last minute.
