I'm a pro baker—but my mom's biscuit recipe will always be my favorite.
No matter where I am, this dough has an incredible quality of making me feel at home. I’ve baked these biscuits so many times and for so many people over the years. I baked them on my first days living on Block Island, a tiny pork-chop shaped island off the coast of Rhode Island where I did my pastry internship after my first year of school. I rented a room in a house that I shared with a sweet family from Peru.
Back at school, I baked them in the dorm kitchen on a rainy day and left them—still-warm and foil-wrapped—hanging from my friends’ doorknobs. Iall the time, because they really only needed one bowl. I baked them for friends who moved into a new house, got a promotion, or lost a loved one. And I baked them for myself whenever I felt homesick .After graduation, I received an email from the Food52 editorial team for an opportunity to come in and help in the kitchen for a shoot.
The editors took turns photographing the biscuits from their desk, then tore into them, swiping soft butter over the airy crumb. I think at some level I was convinced that if these biscuits were good enough, they’d invite me back for another shoot. And they did—though I fully credit the biscuits for that, and the biscuits alone.
After a few of the craziest years possible, I think there’s no better time to make this recipe—it’s so easy, but still so special. Whether you make these biscuits just once, or hundreds of times as I have, it I know they will bring you warmth and make your house smell amazing without fail. And who knows? 20 years from now, they might even be the recipe that your kids will call you, begging to learn—because they, too, are homesick, and nothing else will cure it the same way.
What's your favorite family recipe—one that you've returned to hundreds of times? Let us know in the comments.
