I am posting this video for a couple of reasons. 1. As a homage to our most treasured jewel, The refined Southern Woman. 2. What is better than watching somebody else make a fool of themselves.
Yep this video has been around - but it does crack me up. The sad part is I think I know some of these Ladies. I bet if you look real hard you can find mzscarlett, Cindy, and maybe elfie.
Um Doggies, there is one dish here in the South land I can eat every day. Biscuits. Trouble is making them seems to be becoming a lost art. You go to some ones house and what do you get? White, slightly browned hockey pucks that started life in the freezer or a tube. Not worthy of the sausage gravy you have pored over them. And I am guilty of this sin my own self.
Now who do you want making your biscuits, some fat little giggling annoying dough boy or the lady in the video.
Hope ya all had a good turkey day.
Oh don’t worry about that smell of melting plastic. That would be Cindy at the Mall.

I don't remember my Hoosier grandma making biscuits, but she sure could make a good batch of fried potatoes. And her gravy was to die for!
Sure am glad I missed being in the video...I was home making biscuits that day! Yep, I can make biscuits from scratch!! Buttermilk, soft on the inside, brown and crispy on the outside. I think I may trot off to the kitchen and make a pan for dinner tonight. Hubby will faint.
Your right I did see some of our southern ladies in the video. and those biscuits!! Ummm Ummm Good. That truly is becoming a lost art. No doubt about it.
My Aunt Gertrude would make "sinkers" at four-thirty a.m., fry up two skillets of crisp bacon, do another of fried potatoes and the sizzling eggs would wake us up just in time to get dressed for her West Virginia mountain breakfast. You can't sleep through that!
...that was me... driving the bike off of the deck.
Have you heard from Elfie??? She hasn't posted in awhile and she didn't respond to an e-mail I sent her.
You can have the southern women,will take the biscuit though with plenty of butter.The video is funny and hilarious.
It did my heart good to see that one with the too large top fall over (as one without too big a top). The one thing that I can make easily are biscuits! (Do the subject and verb agree?... I never know how to write these.)
Since I was stationed in the South during my military days I have admired the culture & beauty of the southern woman. I use to watch that southern cook, I believe his name was Justin Wilson..that man could cook
Did you notice how she made the biscuits in a well of the flour, not using it all up? My grandpa used to make them that way but he combined the ingredients in a well right in the top of the flour sack. Saved washing dishes, just as this lady didn't mess up the bread board rolling out the dough. Thanks for posting this!
I hope the biscuit lady washed her hands first. I put cheese in my biscuits. YUM!
I consider myself a "refined cultured Southern Lady, but will admit I never learned to make biscuits like my mother. My first ones were so little and round and hard that my father just dropped one on the floor and it bounced like a hockey putt. That brought on tears from me and I will never forget it.
I like my biscuits brown and about 1/4 inch high, so my kind suited me. The cook at my house doesn't make them (I am the cook and we eat a lot of whole grain breads that are warmed. I am gaining a few pounds also.
Just want to say, I didn't see myself in the first video - maybe the one who fell down the slide.
