Southern Breads and Biscuits
Traditional Southern Biscuits
Making biscuits is a skill that all good southern cooks should master. There is nothing more satisfyingly Southern than a light flaky biscuit with gravy or homemade jam. Biscuits are quick and easy to make and economical as well.
The secret to good biscuits is in the mixing. The dry ingredients must be kept separate from the wet until ready to bake, then mixed only as much as needed to make the dough. Over mixing will develop gluten and result in a tough chewy biscuit.

Muffins and Quick Breads
Muffins and quick breads are really the same bread baked in different pans. The secret to making a good muffin or quick bread is in the mixing.

The remaining lumps will disappear during baking.
If the batter is over-stirred or beaten, the muffins will be small with peaked tops. They may have tunnels running through them with a tough, rubbery texture. …read more…
