re: Favorite store bought biscuits?

If I was cooking for a bunch of ppl, then sure I'll try my hand at homemade. But 95% of the time I prefer convenience when it comes to a biscuit for breakfast.

no she's not. She gave a biscuit recipe. OP's thread is about Mary's B's biscuits. Which are great. Homeade great? No, but a pretty damn good alternative when pressed for time and/or only in need of a biscuit or two. This post was edited on 10/29/13 at 10:07 am

I wouldn't take the recipe down to a single biscuit, as it is mechanically difficult to mix small amounts using regular kitchen equipment and get the proper texture...but you can certainly halve the recipe and make 4 (or 2/3 big fat ones). But why? It is just as much work to make 4 as 6 or 12, so make some and share (bring warm biscuits to work and watch your popularity increase) or stash your own homemade ones in the freezer.
Ain't nothing wrong with frozen Mary B's (just like jarred roux, it's a nice convenience). I was just trying to encourage ppl to at least attempt biscuits, as they are very very very simple to make.
RE: flour on the counter...I don't even know how to respond to that one. I roll all my doughs directly on the countertops, so yes, you do need to wipe them when you're done. A kitchen is meant to be used, isn't it? It's not like you're rolling dough in the walkin closet or on the living room rug. It's a kitchen...don't you generally wipe down all of the countertops every day?

Yes indeed.
I guess you didn't get to sarcasm since it was after the 4th grade.
To say it takes 5 minutes to make biscuits is silly by the time you get everything out, prepare the mixture and clean up.

the "buttery flavored" are damn good after a morning in the duck blind.

I don't eat biscuits much, but I like Mary B's and Sister Schubert's. Have no desire to make them. I don't like baking. I can put foil on a baking sheet, pop the biscuits in the oven and do other things while they cook, eat them, toss the foil and be on my merry way.

Mary B's are good frozen biscuits and I would not hesitate to serve them. We have some Pillsbury frozen Buttermilk Biscuits in the freezer (I think - not sure). It is definitely easier to make 1 or 2 frozen biscuits than to make any number from scratch. I am pretty sure they would be better than many who post here would make from scratch. IMO, a good scratch biscuit is a skill or talent that most people do not possess.
Having said all of that, I would be less of a man if I didn't say that some of my fondest memories of time with my dad were Sunday mornings as a 5-6 year old kid (in the early 1950s) watching him snap open a can of 10/$1.00 cheap canned biscuits, pass them (both sides)across a layer of bacon grease and plop them into the oven before he soft scrambled eggs for us kids for breakfast while Mom was finishing getting ready for Church. Sunday mornings were a tight schedule at our house and he knew his stuff, worked fast and still made us feel special. Those were good (best) days and it wasn't a homemade biscuit that made them that way. I miss him displaying his skill at cooking canned biscuits in his dress pants white shirt and tie with his Bible ready to go on the kitchen counter.
I made certain I did the same with my sons when they were kids. My grandkids have seen me do it, too. Doubt I'll be around for great grandkids, but if I am I hope they still sell cheap canned biscuits.
Enough old guy stuff.
We have friends in this weekend and will probably serve English Muffins from cabinet or frozen biscuits from freezer.

When you FDB-ers say it is easy to make biscuits, you really mean it. After reading, I decided to make some myself. I have never made them before, but I have made bread.
Here's the recipe I used:
2 cups unbleached AP flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp sea salt
4 Tbsp butter
1 cup plain unsweetened almond milk + 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Had one with leftover winter root hash and it was delicious... and very easy to make.

I've tried making biscuits from scratch, and they were nowhere near as good as Mary B's Southern Made. Baking just ain't my thing. I end up with more flour on the floor and stuck to my hands than end up in the biscuits.

Damn, like Whole Foods much?

Just happened to be the store I went to. Yes, I do like whole foods.
It's fluffier than it looks. That's a weird angle.
None taken! This is a frozen biscuit thread & I don't know anything about them but just wanted to post it here because the inspiration.
May you find the best biscuit for you

Mary B's and Sister Shuberts are the best IMO

If I come across them I will certainly give them a try. I'm not much of a biscuit eater.
Didn't make much of a mess. Dirtied 1 bowl, wooden spoon, potato masher thing (to dice da butter), teaspoon/cup measure things, area I floured... Didn't take long.
7 minutes, if that, to prepare and then I baked for about 14 minutes. Plus time it takes for oven to get to 400+.
35 minutes give or take.

Best biscuits in the world are Ms. Kay's recipe from Duck Dynasty:
2 cups Pioneer Buttermilk Biscuit mix
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sprite
knead and cut biscuits on floured surface
Melt butter and dip each biscuit into butter then bake at 400 till done. If you want to really do them justice, melt the butter in a cast iron skillet, coat both sides in the butter, bake in the skillet. It will virtually fry the outsides to a nice crispy texture.
These are as close to Popeye's biscuits as you can get.

I can understand that. If I'm in the mood for one, it's a rare occasion and I wouldn't necessary want 6 (how many this recipe made). I have a roommate that'll gobble them up, though... And I am going to try to freeze a few and see how they are when re-baked.
I will be making these again.
