Believe it or not, I will start using my own batter if we do more, just because they are so dense, they work well for a test like that.  And then I have something for trap shooting too!

You will get more practice when you do more biscuit tests when you do your future performance tests. :P

Try this again.  >:(  When SWMBO asked if I wanted to have biscuits and gravy for dinner I jumped on it, after all this talk about the biscuit quest. 
 [ Invalid Attachment ]   The were very yummy and if I could just get the stupid pictures to come out right, I had one of the biscuit desert with strawberry/rhubarb jam.

I hate Wal Mart but if they have them in Manhattan, KS. I will find it and make them, Can't think of a worse weekend to go looking in a store I don't know for something to try. Those look like they are worth it though. Photos either way.

They are usually where the flour is, but it is kind of strange here, they put the stuff where the premixed stuff is. So if you dont see right by the flour, don't give up!  If you like biscuits, they are worth it!

Well dang. I can say we searched everywhere and asked 2 employees, not here. I did though have a friend order me 2 on a mail thing (jet.com). $7.49 for a 7 oz. package. I plan on buying the buttermilk fresh though.

Had a guy at werk a couple weeks ago ask if I smoked anything that weekend. Biscuits on Sunday. "You smoked biscuits"? On Sunday I replied. Saturday was cheese day. "You smoked cheese"?

He's looking...

I hope it is 7lbs.  7oz will do about 4 biscuits...If it really is 7oz, send me your address and I will send you a bag myself!

No fork split and gravy over the biscuit?  And your wife appears to appreciate the sausage part of the sausage gravy more then most, you have to like that!

Yes, I fork split after the picture.   She only used about 2/3 of the Jimmy Dean sausage and it's not her that appreciates all that sausage.  Trying to decide if I liked the biscuits better with gravy, homemade rhubarb/strawberry jam or slathered in butter better.   :rotf:

Bentley, that Formula L looks similar in composition to Bisquick; is it better?

The answer, of course, is yes...... :lick: Sorghum mixed with butter, apple butter, grape jelly....... :lick:

Nothing like it at all.  Like bisquick for dumplings and pancakes, no good for biscuits!

I am a fan of Popeyes biscuits.  I can actually eat 6 or so just on the ride home  :cool:

I was listening to an older Alton Brown Podcast (browncast) and he talks about his grandmothers biscuits and how great they were. He watched her 100 times even as a trained professional and struggled.  He finally realized it had to do with the room and the equipment.  The bowls the roller and just about everything.  The humidity on that day.  Of course Popeye's always taste the same all the time but I am sure there are some chemicals in that stuff that I couldn't pronounce with a gun to my head!

Good luck and when you figure it out share with us because I want good biscuits too!
