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!

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room.

I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Do you sleep in your stomach, back or side?

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
