You don't have to be from the south to make the best biscuits. Although I didn't learn to make biscuits until I moved to Florida 25 years ago, I do make great biscuits. For such simple ingredients, the technique is what makes a great biscuit. I did a lot of testing. I am a true fan of King Arthur Flours but when it comes to biscuits, White Lilly flour gets the best results. Also..don't twist the cutter; one smooth cut will produce taller biscuits. I do use a combo of butter and shortening and buttermilk. I do bake at 400 degrees to get the best rise too. There is nothing better than a good biscuit.
