Great Grannys North Carolina Biscuit Pudding Recipes

BISCUIT PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
• (Optional) If using a meringue: In a large mixing bowl beat the egg whites until nearly stiff. Add the sugar slowly while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Set the meringue aside.
• In a separate large mixing bowl, crumble the biscuits until they are coarse crumbs. (Start with 6 biscuits and add more if needed to get the correct texture.)
• Add the milk, eggs, vanilla, sugar, and butter to the crumbled biscuits. Mix well. If needed, add additional biscuits one at a time until a mushy texture is achieved - not too thin, not too thick.
• Transfer the pudding to a well-buttered round casserole or baking dish. Top with the meringue, if using.
• Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the meringue is a rich, golden brown and the pudding is creamy but set.
• Note: If you chose not to use a meringue, dot the top of the pudding with two tablespoons of butter about halfway through cooking.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving.

GRANNY'S NANA PUDDING

Steps:

• In a chilled bowl, with chilled beaters, beat the cream and confectioners' sugar together until soft peaks.
• Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, pudding mix, half-and-half, sour cream and the salt in a large bowl.
• Reserve 4 to 6 cookies for garnish and layer half of the remaining cookies among the bottom of 4 to 6 16-ounce serving dishes (or mason jars), or in a trifle bowl (or other large glass serving dish). Next, drizzle half of the caramel over the cookies, then a layer of half the bananas, then half the pudding mixture. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients. Top with the whipped cream and a butter cookie or cookies. Serve or chill up to overnight.

MY GRANNY'S OLD-FASHIONED BISCUITS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Heavily grease a large cast-iron skillet or biscuit pan and set aside. (I prefer the cast iron skillet).
• 2. Put the flour into a large bowl and add lard/shortening.
• 3. Cut into flour using the usual pastry method.
• 4. Add buttermilk and mix with fork or hands.
• 5. Mix into a light dough.
• 6. Turn dough onto a floured board and knead a couple of times.
• 7. Pat dough to flatten to about 1/2 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter, cut dough into biscuits.
• 8. Place cut biscuits in the prepared pan.
• 9. Pour melted shortening/butter over each biscuit.
• 10. Bake for about 13 to 15 minutes or until golden. Remove from pan and place into a covered container and allow to steam for about 5 minutes. You may also brush melted butter over top prior to steaming (if desired).
• 11. Serve hot with butter, apple butter, jellies, jams, honey, or anything else that you like.
• 12. Special Note: I didn't have a biscuit cutter, so what I did was open both ends of a 4-ounce sized mushroom can, washed and removed the label and it works perfectly.

• Add the melted butter , vanilla, and the remaining milk, and blend well.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
