I had to switch to a different measuring cup which made all the difference. So as they say, the third time's the charm. These were a little drier, still flavorful and soft, just a stark contrast from my previous attempt. These would have been the perfect biscuits for the Strawberry Shortcake recipe that comes later in the book.īatch number 2 came out much differently than the first, this time I overcompensated with too much extra flour, the rise that I got was reaching for the sky, and resembled little top hats. This tells me that they were too wet and when they began to cook and the butter started to melt they began to spread instead of rising up. They tasted great but I was going for perfection, I mean I wanted them to look like Joanna's did in the picture.don't we all? The first batch spread and looked like a drop biscuit. I must confess that the first batch did not turn out exactly like they are pictured in the book. Jojo's Biscuits recipe is very easy and the biscuits come out so fluffy.heavenly! I have had the opportunity to go to the Magnolia Table Restaurant in Waco and mine now come out just like what I get at the restaurant, so I think I have it down now.

I will include my recipe for Homemade Self-Rising Flour at the bottom of this review.īelow is my review, it actually took me a few tries to get them just right, or at least to my liking. I have since learned to make my own blend of self-rising flour so I can make these at any moment my heart desires. Impatiently, I had to wait till I made my first trip to the store to make them because they call for self-rising flour which I don't usually keep in my pantry. 1, I knew that it had to be the first recipe that I made. After reading the story in the cookbook about how it took Joanna Gaines a year of Saturdays to find just the right recipe to include in the Magnolia Table Cookbook Vol. We all changed our minds what seemed like a hundred times.I was so excited to make Jojo's Biscuits. We were there first & foremost to try the grits, but since just about every menu item came with “creamy dreamy grits”, we still had a huge choice ahead of us. Taylor & I had perused the menu last week while still in Seattle & were already confused by so many delicious-sounding choices. Miss Connie (born in the South, so the resident grits expert) & Taylor (born in the Pacific Northwest, so a grits novice just like me – although she did at least know of their existence, unlike the ex-pat Brit at the table) joined me on my Southern Breakfast Grit-fest. Folks around here *really* like eating breakfast at The Flying Biscuit. By the time we left the wait was over 45 minutes. 20 minutes later there was a lengthy line which just kept growing & growing. My first word of advice if you are contemplating tripping over to The Flying Biscuit for breakfast: GO EARLY. Then there’s the brightly colored tableware, the hand-painted sugar packet holders & the crazy menu.

Wild painted wall colors, funky home-made glass bead light fixtures, fantastic vivid vinyl table-covers & huge floor-to-ceiling windows that open so wide that it seems like the restaurant has no outside walls.

Turns out that The Flying Biscuit on Piedmont Avenue in Mid-town Atlanta is a super-fun place to go. So if it’s bad, Reid, it will all be on you buddy. “ The Flying Biscuit” was the immediate response. Reid is a native Atlantan, so when I found out I was Atlanta-bound I asked him where I should head to get the best grits in his beloved hometown.
