I need a good biscuit recipe for flaky biscuits

Four cups Pioneer biscuit mix
Two cups buttermilk
1/3 lb margarine.

Melt margarine. Use some to coat baking sheet
The rest add in bowl with other ingredients.
Don't over mix.

Coat your hands with a little of the Pioneer flour and form golf size balls. Set them closely touching each other on the sheet pan.

Any extra space on pan use a coffee mug to pin biscuits together.

Bake at 315 degrees for about 15 minutes. Or tops are a golden brown.

I believe popeyes puts a dash of sprite in theirs. Feel free to try.

John Besh's Angel Biscuits are divine... cold butter and the folding/rolling technique makes them flaky

Angel Biscuits

Serves 12


1 package active dry yeast
5 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup (2 sticks) butter

1.Dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the buttermilk and dissolved yeast and mix well. Using a pastry knife, cut the butter into the mixture.

2.Since this makes a light, fairly wet dough, sprinkle 1/2 cup of flour on the counter before you roll out the dough.Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Fold the two sides in, making a triple layer of dough. Cut the dough into 3-inch circles or squares. Place on a nonstick baking sheet, cover loosely, and refrigerate overnight.

3.The next morning, preheat the oven to 400°. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden brown.

I have to agree.

OP, the above recipe speaking to the folding of the dough is the trick to a flaky biscuit, though I haven't tried it. That layered technique is the key. I
I'm a cathead cook myself, as was my mother, and her mother, and my dad's mother.

They are better than 98% of our homemade biscuits.

We need to get together for a post hunt breakfast t my place in Jones. Let me know when you want biscuits. Maybe we can even stir up a limit of ducks to make a gravy.

This is a good thread and I love me some good biscuits. There are other good breads to be sure. But if biscuits don't go with whatever you're eating, IMO you're eating inferior food.
