"Also, almost all the other shows on HGTV are variations on the Fixer Upper theme of a couple renovating a dilapidated house for someone."

I like the husband on Hometown. The wife, not so much. Maybe it's the Karen haircut and she always has this sneering look on her face.

Its flour, lard and buttermilk, maybe a pinch of salt..

With all due respect, yuck. Sounds like hockey pucks

You need some baking powder, at least.

I'd slip in something to sweeten it up (southern style), as well, but that's a matter of taste. I'd go with milk and butter instead of buttermilk, but that's what I have on hand.

"Not sure why people on this site would denigrate them for it."

Gee, I don't know... maybe because they are selling biscuits for $40?

My wife likes Hometown. She also likes the “Restoring Galveston” show because it is so near here (Houston). But the wife on that show seems very high maintenance.

No they are not just selling “biscuits” for $40. They have built a brand over decades, and they are now capitalizing on it. Selling this product for $5 would cheapen their brand. It would be like Trump putting his name on a self-storage facility on Omaha. Porsche’s don’t actually cost $150,000 to build, but you’re paying for the name and the hundreds of millions of dollars they spent to get themselves to where they are now. Sports cars and biscuits, it’s all the same.

The recipe has been available online since at least 2018 (if not earlier).

Maybe in self-rising flour. But not in all-purpose.

But maybe you prefer your biscuits denser. Or you use unleavened bread outside of passover.

Will it arrive via the mail still frozen, or a thawed out sticky mess?

To the best of my experience, all doughs, once ready to be baked, need to be either frozen, refrigerated or baked - but not thawed out, left unrefrigerated or unbaked.

If I want tasty biscuits, I’ll go to Popeyes. Or maybe Cracker Barrel. :)

The best biscuits are made with White Lilly flour, and buttermilk, which causes the baking powder to activate and produce fluffy biscuits. Normal milk will not do this. Before adding the buttermilk, you need to mix the flour, shortening, butter, and baking powder cold and dry, and there is a special kitchen tool for this.

Yep, same here. He should get his own show to showcase his woodworking skills.

You mean you don’t want your house to have that 1950s state penitentiary aesthetic?

Even prisons use brighter paint colors now, or at least cream or ivory.

Home Town is good. I like the couple on Fixer to Fabulous too.

Cool, so maybe people will stop coming here in droves, clogging up the streets on weekends? There’s already lots of road construction going on all around there which is bad enough.

‘Home Town is good.’

Their brand was originally sold as the everyday common, rural, folksy Christian conservative. Christian conservatives don’t repackage a penny and sell it for a quarter. Shysters do that.

If it makes them rich, good for them. I no longer watch their show as it became too stagnant and I certainly won’t be buying $40 biscuits.

Yes. There is a picture on their Instagram of Ben wearing the Clan Napier tartan.
