I made my first biscuits from scratch. Used 1/2 of Alton Brown's recipe, substituting bacon grease for shortening and milk/vinegar mix for buttermilk. Came out great.

But bacon AND sausage? You need some hash browns with that bitch

Or pancakes, but I can only do one carb per meal. Was pretty full with this.

Well, this recipe was really quick and easy. Don't know about his other recipes.

I use his recipe for biscuits and I agree with you. They're the best I've found. Always a nice rise and fluffy. I do use buttermilk usually but I have used a lemon juice/milk mixture that works fine too. I only make them about once a month because I always have to make sausage gravy with them, lol.

I don't know what you're talking about.
All of his recipes are pretty average in cost and length. It's just his lengthy explanations of the science behind what he's cooking that seems to draw them out.

Made another batch with only bacon grease, no butter. Fuck its good. What's your beef with bacon grease now?

>> No.9121492

Bacon grease is awesome, fuck that guy.

You can substitute buttermilk with sour cream or greek yogurt with excellent results.

Each will give baked goods a fluffiness you don't get from just milk.
