Southern Angel Biscuits, Mamaw’s Recipe too! Let’s Cook ’em Up in a Cast Iron Skillet


Description given on Youtube:
Is there anything more southern than a batch of homemade Angel Biscuits? I don’t think so! 🙂 here I show you a slight variation on a traditional southern biscuit. I am including 2 recipes for Angel Biscuits.
My grandmother’s were just wonderful and seemed to be a little more dense and flatter then the SL recipe. I enjoy both! It depends on my mood, haha.

Preheat your oven to 425°F.
I like to use bread flour.
