I baked a pan of those Mary B brand frozen Southern style buttermilk
biscuits. Thought I'd post a pic:

They turn out nice and fluffy. :)

They're pretty good. What I always buy unless the store is out.

Heavenly!

I've got a recipe from ATK using warmed heavy cream I want to try. I just
haven't psyched myself up yet.

I remember you mentioning the ATK recipe. Do let us know after you try
the recipe. Once upon a time I had a knack for making biscuits... and
lost it. No matter what recipe I try or how little I work the dough,
biscuits I make from scratch turn out like hockey pucks. I'm really
glad I found these raw frozen biscuits.

They look mighty tasty. My SIL, who baked biscuits and cookies from scratch
while she was here, split for who knows how many months to visit the vastly
bigger part of our family. I haven’t checked for Mary B, but I will.
Meanwhile, we’ll lose some weight.

i use a big box of bisquick and stir as
little as possible, use a big scoop and
drop on a baking sheet.

bake until done.

i have tried in the past with various
success at making them "from scratch" but i
think the results really varied with the type
of flour used.

since we so rarely make biscuits, shortcakes,
or pancakes of any kind these days it works out
well enough to have that box of pre-made mix
around, but that is one of the very few premade
mixes we bother with. for the price of the
flour and ingredients and bother involved it
ends up being acceptable to us (i'm much more
picky about added ingredients than Mom ever is).
mainly though it is that i want to control both
the sugar and salt added amounts in my foods
since we don't normally add a lot of either of
those these days i notice them a lot in canned
or other premade/processed items.

I used Bisquik baking mix until I discovered the frozen raw biscuits. I
can do *drop* biscuits from scratch just fine (AP flour) but rolled
scratch biscuits... hockey pucks. :(
