General Mills brands consist of Annie's, Betty Crocker, Nature Valley, Yoplait, Haagen-Dazs, and Blue Buffalo.

Southern biscuits walk the line of being both tender and flaky. By combining white flour, butter, and a generous amount of buttermilk, the dough is first stirred together into a sticky mass. Then this dough is folded onto itself into a smooth dough - this step is where the magic can happen.

Fun Facts

• 1,169. Cookies and biscuits iced in one hour - winning Pillsbury the Guinness World Record.
• 1965. The year the Pillsbury Doughboy was born - November 7, to be exact.
• 1949. The inception of the Bake-Off® Contest - one of Pillsbury's most popular and storied legacies.

Working in his uncle's flour mill, Pillsbury realized that he could make the flour milling process more efficient by using steel rollers rather than buhr stones to mill the grain into flour. In 1872, he convinced his uncle and his father to join his company, which he called Charles A. Pillsbury & Co.

Founding and early development. "C.A. Pillsbury and Company" was founded in 1869 by Charles Alfred Pillsbury and his uncle John S. Pillsbury. The company was second in the United States (after Washburn-Crosby) to use steel rollers for processing grain.

wheat flour The principle ingredient of biscuits is wheat flour. The grain consists of bran (12%), which is the outer husk; endosperm, the white centre (85.5%); and tiny germ (2.5%). Typical biscuit flour is milled to a yield or extraction of 70%–75%.

The principal ingredients of biscuit dough are soft wheat flour, sugar, fat, and water. They are mixed with other minor ingredients (such as baking powder, skimmed milk, emulsifier, and sodium metabisulphite) to form dough containing a well- developed gluten network.

So there you have it: Southern biscuits have more butter and acidity (from the buttermilk), making them extra fluffy and flaky. While scones rely on richer, denser, ingredients like heavy cream and eggs to get a sturdy, yet crumbly, pastry.

The Origin of Southern Biscuits Southern biscuits have been a staple in Southern cuisine for centuries. It is said that biscuits were brought over to America by English and Scottishsettlers and were adapted to suit the ingredients available in the South.
