Have you ever used this bisquit dough to make monkey bread? And if so how did it turn out?
Jessica Fisher
I have not, but it sounds delicious!
Tiffanie
Could I use butter for the tops? I don’t have any half and half.
Jessica Fisher
Yes, you could brush with milk, butter, or an egg wash. All those will work.

Mine were a little flat this time? My sifter collapsed at the beginning of making this. and I had to put together. I also accidentally put on a little too much salt. Maybe that’s why?

I tried this today with plain kefir in place of the buttermilk and it turned out great! I was reading your post on homemade buttermilk, and was contemplating ordering the starter for that but since I already make kefir myself, I decided to try it and it worked! Not sure if anyone else would try that substitution but me, but I’ll leave the comment here just in case ?
Jessica Fisher
Sounds great! I ran out of my buttermilk due to poor planning, so I’m restarting again. We used half plain yogurt and half milk last night and that sub worked beautifully as well. Glad to know there’s another great sub!

I made these this morning but accidently added a stick of butter 1/2 cup). Luckily I didn’t misread the amount of salt 🙂 These doubled in size and were flaky layers just like the canned ones. I used frozen butter as its easier for me to cut into tiny pieces. I didn’t knead the dough like I would bread dough. I think I usually over work biscuit dough. I patted it out some with my hands then gently rolled it out and folded in thirds like an envelope 3 or 4 times before cutting. I did sift the dry ingredients and put the biscuits in refrigerator while waiting for my oven to get to the right temp. I also didn’t twist the cutter when cutting them, just pushed down and lifted up.
Definitely making these again. Thank you for the recipe.

I would like a recipe similar to the Pillsbury buttermilk biscuits to make monkey bread. My family is going to be very disappointed if we don’t have them for our family get together. Any suggestions??
Jessica Fisher
I would try this recipe and see how it goes.
Leslie
I’m from the South, and I’m embarrassed to say I have never made homemade buttermilk biscuits because I’ve been too intimidated to try it. I made these tonight, and they were great! The recipe was fairly easy, and I don’t have a good processor, and used a pastry blender.

I want to try these with gluten free flour. Any concerns with this recipe that should make that challenging?
Jessica Fisher
I’m sorry. I don’t have much experience with gluten-free baking, but I know a girl. 😉 Lynn’s got some great recipes. Maybe try her biscuit recipe here: https://www.lynnskitchenadventures.com/gluten-free-biscuits-and-gravy-recipe/
