I\u2019m all about a good biscuit, and homemade biscuits<\/a> have no equal. Making them from scratch is a surprisingly simple process, using simple ingredients, but with love the simplest things can be the most beautiful. Like the manger that held Christmas\u2019s perfect gift.<\/p>\n

Biscuits were part of every meal around our Southern table when I was growing up. Both my grandmothers were biscuit makers from way back. My mother\u2019s mother, Grandmama, was a sophisticated lady who believed it wasn\u2019t ladylike to eat a big biscuit. She taught my mom how to make elegantly small buttermilk biscuits<\/a> that would become the staple of my business.<\/p>\n

My father\u2019s mother, Mama (pronounced ma-MA), came from more practical roots. With a husband and five hungry boys to feed, Mama knew the value of serving big hot biscuits on demand. She always kept plenty of dough in the fridge for baking Angel Biscuits.<\/p>\n

Her recipe calls for a key ingredient. Instead of using only self-rising flour or all-purpose flour with baking powder and baking soda, Angel Biscuits also include yeast<\/a>. This elevates the basic biscuit to new heights. Plus, using shortening instead of butter allows the dough to keep nicely for a few days without excessive hardening. You can pull it out of the fridge when you\u2019re ready to bake.<\/p>\n

For us, Angel Biscuits make a hearty Christmas breakfast<\/a>, before my husband, three daughters and I start preparations for the holiday dinner party we host every year. Use your thumb to push in the top of the tall biscuit and fill the well with maple syrup\u2014my girlhood treat that required many napkins.<\/p>\n

For our fancy Christmas dinner, I serve Grandmama\u2019s \u201cladylike\u201d biscuits with an array of whipped butters, both savory and sweet. We set up a buffet in our kitchen but showcase the biscuits and butters on the dining table (safely out of reach of our white English Lab named Butter).<\/p>\n

No need to be intimidated if you\u2019ve never made biscuits from scratch. If I can do it, anyone can. With Mom, Grandmama and Mama<\/a> vying for space in the kitchen, I didn\u2019t make my first biscuit until I was in my thirties. I started my business with the idea that Mom would make the biscuits while I ran the operations, so I named the company for her.<\/p>\n

When the Callie of Callie\u2019s Hot Little Biscuit decided to retire, it was time to become a baker myself. Like most things, the more you make biscuits, the better at it you become. And butter is a fantastic form of insurance: Melt the butter and brush it on top, and just about any biscuit is bound to taste good.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got a few tips to help you along if you\u2019ve got misgivings. Some recipes will say that you can use a pastry cutter to mix ingredients, but the best biscuit makers get a feel for the dough. Let your bare hands tell you just how much liquid to add a little at a time so that the dough is neither too wet nor too dry. I like to call it \u201cwetty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Will your hands get gooey? Yep, but embrace the mess and use a gentle touch. I don\u2019t recommend hand mixing when you\u2019re rushed or frazzled\u2014the dough will know! Even though biscuits are my livelihood, making the dough is a comforting ritual, never a chore. One more tip: When you put your biscuits in the pan, make sure they\u2019re touching. This helps the rise. Just like families during the holidays<\/a>, biscuits love to get close.<\/p>\n
