Southern Biscuit Formula L Biscuit Mix, 3.25 LBS

I'm addicted to cooking shows on YouTube. All of the southern US channels I watch recommend this product highly saying you can't beat it. I received my $19.98 3 lb bag today. Living in California, it is not available in stores so I had no choice other than to buy it here. The bag looks like it's 5 years old. Not sure what it's supposed to look like. By reading other reviews I'm seeing it's less than $4 in states that carry it. If I had known that beforehand, I probably wouldn't have ordered it. Then, found it is not returnable!!! The markup is ridiculous and something should be done about that. I see where people didn't realize the bag was so small but that's their fault for not reading the print. Also, people complain about the "yellow flakes" and that is simply the lard or "whatever" fat they add...and I expect that. My problem is the PRICE compared to store prices where you can purchase. What can we do as customers to fix this? Again, I've not tried the product but will tomorrow. If the company happens to read this, please let us know if the bag should look old. And please, lower your price so we westerners can order. (If it's even worth the time). I'll leave another review tomorrow after I mix up a batch.Next day. I've changed my rating to a 5 star. I've been making homemade biscuits for a long time but nothing compares to this product. The biscuits turned out so fluffy I couldn't believe how good they were. Even though they are definitely overpriced compared to stores, CA doesn't carry them so I will continue to buy. If you can afford the product, I definitely recommend it. Just please, lower the price.

My family loves this biscuit mix. Easy to use, tastes great every time. We tried it on vacation in GA and loved it, but it's difficult to find in FL grocery stores. Luckily we found it on amazon! Similar texture to Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits.

This makes the best biscuits from a mix I have ever tasted!

It is the best biscuit mix you will ever have in your house. It is amazing I love it and I think you will love this product too

First... I consider myself a Gourmet Chef. I love Popeye’s Red Beans & Rice, KFC Cole Slaw and Homemade Southern Biscuits.If you don’t want to take the time and effort and don’t have a large area and extensive kitchen paraphernalia to make GREAT biscuits ~ this biscuit premix is for you.AND don’t pay Any attention to those who moan and groan about PRICE!SOME RULES TO FOLLOW:1. Use a lot of space and a lot of General Purpose Flour.2. Use only Buttermilk or Buttermilk dry mix which is also available at AMAZON.3. Recognize that the shortening flakes are already in the mix and you don’t have to “cut-in” shortening or lard. Might account for the price you paid.4. Don’t stir hardly at all, Yes it will be lumpy and that’s fine. This is one of the most important rules and hard to resist - DON’T HANDLE THE DOUGH TOO MUCH!5. BUT... the dough will be Very Sticky and stick to everything, your hands, bowl, table & ceiling!6. So... use lots of General Purpose Flour but ONLY enough to be able to handle the dough. Experiment on using the minimal amount amount of flour to control the stickiness but not over power the biscuit/buttermilk dough.7. DON’T Over Bake. Watch for browning and how long it took to get there for future batches.8. Use plenty of butter or gravy and wait for the Rave Reviews.9. Be Glad AMAZON carries this product!Regards

I can't get this locally and I know it's way overpriced on Amazon but it makes the best biscuits so I have to buy it.

I can't make decent biscuits, and I've tried them all, and followed directions to a T -- even the most recent Best Biscuit by Southern Living with frozen grated butter, not using a biscuit cutter because it may seal the edges, not overmixing or over rolling. Still, they seldom rose and were never impressive.I really dislike any suggestion which says "Just get Pillsbury Grands." Those are not biscuits. Those are frozen rolls which are only decent about 5 minutes after you make them, and then only 3 out of 10 stars at that -- so I wanted something approximating a Buttermilk Biscuit, which rises, is somewhat light and flaky, and reliable.I tried this mix even given the relatively high price point, because I'd rather pay for a sure-thing than spend more time on recipes and frozen butter and my time.Enter this mix -- which worked beautifully the first time out. Now, is this the BEST biscuit I've ever had? No, one of your grandmother's or Aunties will always be able to top a mix. But was it the best biscuit I've ever MADE from a MIX?Yes. Definitely. Rose high, was easy to mix, took little effort. I made two mini batches, each time using just 1 cup of mix and 1/3 cup of buttermilk, and this makes 4 big biscuits, as shown.The price was worth it.

use every Sunday morning as breakfast special treat of bacon, egg & cheese. Only problem I have is the biscuit starts to fall apart when picked up to eat, must not be making them thick enough to hold all the goodies. I also use some Honey Butter on biscuit then add everything else.My dog gets one as well and seems to know the day we have the special treat
