feeling a bit green
I'm from Kentucky and living in the UK so that British/Southern fusion chip shop is incredible to me.

I've spent the last decade adapting my recipes and figuring out where to find ingredients here (usually from African and Caribbean stores).

Grits are hard to come by here and polenta doesn't do it for me, but I finally found dried hominy in a store near me so I'm going to try to grind my own soon (and hopefully not destroy my food processor in the process).

My biscuits still don't come out right without White Lily and I would kill for some sorghum though. :(

I had some of the best fried catfish of my life today and I just want more. Think I might fry some at home this weekend.

At some point I learned you can make "buttermilk" by souring milk with lemon juice or vinegar and that it only takes about 10 minutes before it can be used. I've successfully used this method in soda bread. Is there any reason it wouldn't work for buttermilk biscuits?

I'm actually looking for an interesting recipe for country fried steak. Anyone have one?

It will work. This is because these breads rely on chemical leavening, which typically requires an acid. Buttermilk is acidic, and adding vinegar or lemon juice to milk will also make it acidic. The acid reacts with the baking soda and boom, rise happens. The milk part just helps the bread be more tender. You could in theory make a biscuit with lemon juice and water to replace the milk - it would work even if it wouldn't be as tasty.

Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!

first ride
a little nervous but excited
Fall means chicken bog time. It's a South Carolina recipe that's basically what you'd get if you turned chicken and rice soup into a stew. I follow, essentially, this Southern Living recipe

My changes:
Use chicken thighs, about a pound and a half. Pan sear and cook them in the pot before you do anything else. You want a good color on them and a good pan fond.
I make 3ish cups of mirepoix and cook it down in the fat and fond from the chicken.
A lot more salt, occasionally using Lawry's red salt

After that I follow the recipe. I like big chunks of carrot sometimes too. It's really forgiving so feel free to mess with it a bunch.

I would of course eat the hell out of this, but I'd have a hard time making it because if I am that close to jambalaya then I'd probably just make jambalaya

Just made biscuits with heavy cream and self rising flour and a little bacon grease and they aren't the best biscuits i ever ate but the :effort: to delicious ratio is off the chart. Gonna try adding some buttermilk powder in next time.

E: upon further testing I've concluded they are a touch dry? But still good, just need some butter or a sausage patty in the middle.
