White Lily compensated me for this post. All opinions are mine. #ad
I got an email from my friends at White Lily asking me if I’d help them celebrate National Biscuit Month. If there ever was a celebration in which I wanted to be included, it’s National Biscuit Month.
Heavens to Mergatroyd!
For one, biscuits are near and dear to my heart. Read the little cookbook I wrote titled BISCUITS and you’ll understand why. Secondly, White Lily is the only flour I use. It’s the one Granny had in her pantry and it makes light, fluffy, flaky biscuits like no other.
In addition to a recipe that I’m sharing for Hamburger Pot Pie with Herb Biscuit Topper, my good friends at White Lily have a gift basket to give away and help you celebrate National Biscuit Month.
Isn’t that a nice giveaway? Everything has the White Lily logo and that bag of flour there has White Lily quality. Y’all, this is nice! Scroll down past the recipe for the contest rules.
Everybody knows that biscuits are part of a good breakfast. Biscuits can play a big role in everything from appetizers to main dishes to desserts, also. The recipe below is an excellent way to bring biscuits into your family meal planning. For a time-saving tip, make the filling ahead of time and store it in your refrigerator until ready to use. Then cut out your biscuits and plop them on top of the filling in a casserole dish. Bake per directions and dinner is done. A complete meal in one dish. And it’s got biscuits on the top. Honestly, what more could you want for a family dinner?
I hope you give this recipe a try. Don’t forget to scroll down and find the contest rules. You need more White Lily flour and White Lily logo items in your kitchen.
Y’all come see us!
Hamburger Pot Pie with Herb Biscuit Topper
Yield: 8 to 10 servings
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
from Biscuits: Sweet and Savory Southern Recipes for the All-American Kitchen, by Jackie Garvin
Ground beef and vegetables cook in a light gravy topped with savory biscuits to make a family pleasing dinner. Make biscuits a part of family meals. They’re not just for breakfast.
Make the filling:
2 cups potatoes in ½ inch cubes
2 cups carrots, peeled, in ½ inch cubes
1 – 2 tablespoons cooking oil
2 sweet onions, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
3 garlic cloves, diced
3 pounds ground chuck
3 tablespoons White Lily all-purpose flour
1 quart beef stock
½ cup tomato sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon pepper
Parboil potatoes and carrots for 5 minutes or until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
Heat oil on medium high in a large kettle or skillet. Add onions and celery. Cook five minutes. Add garlic, cook two additional minutes.
Add ground beef to onion mixture. Cook until pink is gone breaking up ground beef as it cooks.
Stir in flour. Cook, stirring constantly, until all the white has disappeared. Slowly stir in beef stock, stirring constantly. Add tomato sauce. Cook until mixture thickens. Add salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning is necessary.
Pour mixture into a well-greased 3 quart casserole. Mix in potatoes and carrots.
make the herb biscuits:
2 cups White Lily self-rising flour
½ cup unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
2 tablespoon flat leaf parsley, chopped
1 cup buttermilk
Add flour to large bowl. Rub in butter until flour resembles coarse meal. Stir in herbs.
Pour in milk and stir until incorporated. Dough will be soft and sticky. Turn dough onto a well-floured surface. Sprinkle with flour and continue to work it in until dough is no longer sticky and holds it shape. Roll out to ½ inches thick. Cut biscuits with 2 ½ inch cutter dipped in flour. Repeat with remaining dough.
Cover meat mixture with biscuits. Brush tops with oil and sprinkle with salt and fresh ground pepper.

ohai! At this point i have lots of recipes using White Lily flour. Unfortunately none of the stores in our area of Michigan stock it any longer. Really sad that it is no longer available here. Too far to the South to get some. Help! Miss you White Lily!
Jackie Garvin says
Kay,
You can buy it from Amazon. I’ve got it listed as one of my favorites.

My favorite are the sour cream biscuits made with White Lily Self Rising Flour. Easy and delicious!
Jackie Garvin says
Oh, yes. They are awesome!
Jane says
The best biscuits I ever ate were made by my Arkansas Mother-In-Law.
White Lily flour and other ingredients all tossed together with Love.
No measuring. All from memory. I’ve tried duplicating her “recipe” but could never come close. I think the secret was the Love.
Jackie Garvin says
Quite often, love is the secret ingredient in wonderful recipes.
Melinda Wood says
My grandmother made the best biscuits. All I can remember is flour and water. Not sure what else. I’m assuming butter or oil of some sort. She’s in a nursing home with dementia now. I could just bawl for many reasons and one of them is not getting her to write down her recipes. She was a basic simple southern cook (I noticed Arkansas in the comment above me. That’s where I grew up.) She cooked with basic ingredients that poor people cooked with, hence the water in her biscuits. I definitely haven’t inherited her biscuit-making abilities because the few times I’ve tried to make biscuits were an instant insult to my Southern self. I need a basic biscuit recipe that I can’t mess up if I tried. lol
Jackie Garvin says
Melinda,
Bless your sweet lovin’ heart. Such s beautiful tribute to your grandmother. I can teach anybody to make biscuits. Anybody. I was a decades long biscuit failure. I did everything wrong and now know everything right to do. Follow my simple instructions and use the ingredients I recommend. I guarantee you success. Email me as much as you need. We’ll get this right.
Michelle T. says
The best biscuits I’ve had were made in my own kitchen. Thank you for the giveaway!!
Jackie Garvin says
Atta girl!
Steph says
I like McDonald’s biscuits. Is that sacrilege
Jackie Garvin says
Not at all. You like what you like. I think they actually do a decent job with their biscuits.
April V says
I found frozen buttermilk biscuits in the freezer section of my grocery store that taste JUST like homemade!! I’ll probably never go back to any other biscuit than these!!
Jackie Garvin says
April,
There are some good quality frozen biscuits available now.
Lo says
My sweet, Mama made the softest, flakiest, biscuits ever. She used White Lily flour and her hard working little hands turned out many biscuits over her lifetime. We ate many meals of biscuits and thick, creamy sausage gravy. Yummy!
Jackie Garvin says
What a sweet tribute your Mama. Beautiful memories!
