Oh nice. I’m glad you like it.

My husband and I LOVE this recipe and are so glad to have found it! We visited Aretha Frankensteins in Chattanooga several years ago and were excited to come across the recipe as it’s the closest we have found to the TN original. We have made it at least once a month for the past few years, our biscuits come out perfect and are a family favorite! We make the recipe ‘as is’ with no issues. It is not too sticky, not too wet, it’s just right as is. Give it a shot with some white gravy, sooo good! Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

Barbara, my apologies. You were right. I went back to the book and to my notes and I had adapted the recipe, but put the wrong amount of buttermilk. I can’t thank you enough for letting me know. I have since put the original recipe here, cutting it in half for the in book, the recipe starts with six cups of flour and that is too much for the home cook.

This recipe was terrible. The dough was way too wet and it was impossible to form them the way the directions tell you to. The baking time was way off and definitely needed at least 10 minutes of baking time. As my biscuits baked, they literally formed into one big clump because the dough was way too wet to start with. I consider myself a relatively experienced baker, and these definitely do not cut it for me. There is no way to get a good dough with the amount of buttermilk the recipe tells you to add to that amount of dry ingredients.
