Southern Style Biscuits #BRFoodieFAM

September 1, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 4 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Last week I was in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, hanging out with blogger friends, the fabulous GO BR ladies, Christy and Katie and getting a tour of one of the best cities ever. I truly love Baton Rouge! One of our stops was to a local coffee shop called Brew Ha Ha,  that not only makes tasty lattes, but they are also known for there cake balls and now food menu. Everything is simply down home cooking, you know the kind Mom or Grandma make.

Welcome to Brew Ha Ha

Well, when I was there I had for the first time ever, biscuits and gravy. I’m not much of a gravy fan, but let me tell you, oh my gosh amazing.  I would order this again and again!  So darn good!  I can’t believe I haven’t had this dish earlier in life.  That’s just craziness!
Biscuits and Gravy
When I was there, I ordered the Hot Skillet that tasted mighty good, and it was served with a biscuit, that I smeared jam all over. I just love biscuits!   I was inspired by my Brew Ha Ha biscuit and my first time ever trying biscuits and gravy, that I decided to make my own Southern Style Biscuits.
Southern Style Biscuits
I am not kidding you when I tell you this, but these are the best biscuits ever! They are light, fluffy and don’t fall apart when you eat them. I was truly impressed with myself when I took that first bite. I love when you make something and it exceeds your expectations and this biscuit recipe did that for me!
Southern Style Biscuits
The recipe is so easy to make too! The recipe calls for buttermilk, but I didn’t have any on hand so I decided to make my own by taking one cup non-fat milk and 1 tsp. lemon juice and mixing it together. Not only did I save a trip to the store, but I also saved on calories. Once I mixed my batter together I flattened the dough out onto a floured surface and kneaded the dough. I used a glass to cut out the dough, since I didn’t have a 2″ cookie cutter. You can see a picture here.  Then I placed them on a baking sheet.  I lined my baking sheet with parchment paper, but it’s not really necessary.  You can check the picture out here.

Southern Style Biscuits
The recipe should make 12 biscuits, but I got 17 of them. When I cut out the first batch of biscuits I don’t think I made the dough thick enough, but I did better on the second round. Either way your going to have a light, fluffy biscuit and the calories will still be low. You really can’t go wrong with this recipe.

Yummy, I just love my biscuits and a matter of fact, I’m eating one right now. Since I had so many biscuits, I froze some of them. I hope they turn out just as good when defrosted?

    Always happy to see our beloved south represented on your site! I learned to bake at the knee of my Georgia mountains Grandmama and I wanted to share a couple of tips. I’ve been making buttermilk biscuits for about 40 years now and there are a couple of secrets.
    First, you want to use a soft winter wheat if you can find it. White Lily brand will make a very tender biscuit with less gluten and less protein.White Lily can be hard to find out of the southeast. And bake your biscuits in a very hot oven, preferably at 500 degrees. Don’t over-mix, just enough to wet the dry ingredients.
    Surprisingly, the very best biscuit I have made was with coconut oil! I use it just like I would crisco or butter, a nice big 1/4 cup glob not really measured but seriously scooped. The biscuit is so tender on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. I never use anything else now.
    Love that sausage and gravy over buttermilk biscuits! Brown some lowfat sage sausage, sprinkle a handful of flour and stir in a can of evaporated skim milk. Voila! Healthy (somewhat) sausage and gravy! Enjoy your blog and I intend to make many of your recipes!

Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I k Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I know I complain about the weather a lot, but this seriously blows my mind in how crappy it is here. I need to get into the garden. It’s my happy place.
🐰
Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.
🐰
The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.
🐰
Have the best day and I hope the sun is shining where you live!!

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural.

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California. 
🥕
My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol
🐰
Have a beautiful day!

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage.

Have a wonderful Monday!!

It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.
