Really??? What's not 'nice' about it? A biscuit can be eaten like a sandwich
made out of white, sourdough, whole wheat, rye bread, etc. Biscuit split
open and a pork sausage patty slipped between the two halves is heavenly. As
well as a slice of country or city ham and lets not forget about pork tender-
loin nestled in a biscuit.

Absolute fiction. The American biscuit was being enjoyed in the North long before Harlan Sanders ever put on an apron.

itsjoan, I have been "accused" of not recognizing humor, but I think it must be the case in
dsi1's post.

Maybe he meant the 1860s. Or even 1760s.

I do like to write with tongue-in-cheek but in this case, that's what I've read in several different sources. The Col. introduced biscuits to the Yankees in the 60's. Before that, biscuits weren't a "thing" in the North. To this day, biscuits aren't a thing in the North like it is in the South.

I'm not saying that this is true, only that it's what I have read. If anyone has information to the contrary this is where they're supposed to put their two bits in. I'd appreciate that. What I don't appreciate is any nasty personal remarks about my posts or my opinions.

Way too fancy. These are biscuits to me:
<http://www.taartzonderoven.nl/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/biscuitjes-klein.jpg>

These links to "biscuits," look like cookies to me.

I, a US native in the northern plains, am positive that my great grandmother (whom
I knew), was making biscuits way before 1960. So whatever you read, it seems to have
been a propaganda piece put forth by KFC.

More a "southern thing," that may be; I wouldn't know. I do know that biscuits and gravy are very
popular and available here in the North, and many, many diners offer biscuits alongside regular
entrees.

Then you missed it in mainland history.

Did people make them in Saint Louis then? No we didnt have a Saint
Louis. Did them make them in San Diego, Seattle, Ankorage etc then?
Of course not. We had not spread to there yet in 1776.

I suspect you might have gone a bit daft. Nobody's talking about 1776. Of course they made biscuits back then but they would be like a dry cookie/cracker - not the Southern biscuit of today.

My guess is that the Southern style biscuit, as we know it, didn't come around until after the American civil war, when self-rising flour became available. As far as self-rising flour goes, that stuff has been popular mostly in the South. The yanks have always preferred to add their own leavening.

That is a strange guess because they had baking powder. I make biscuits
frequently and I don't think I have ever even had self-rising flour in
the house.

Read the recipes. Self rising flour was just premix of baking soda to
make it faster. They did it long before that.
