Alison Tells Her Origin Story and Makes Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits | Home Movies with Alison Roman

Today, we’re making biscuits! And jam! Biscuits and jam. Biscuits are pretty integral to the Alison Roman you see before you, but you’ll have to watch (or read Dining In) to find out why. The biscuits are light, flaky, fluffy, and you don’t need any special equipment (only your hands). For the jam, it’s my classic stovetop recipe, made to work with nearly any fruit (you’ll have to read Sweet enough for the slow roasted oven version).

Fresh, frozen, in-season, out-of-season—simmered with sugar and lemon juice, anything goes. If you’re wanting jam but nothing is quite ripe at the markets yet, I think raspberries are the best “cheat” to get you through. Even out-of-season and out of a clamshell, they’re still acidic, punchy, and shockingly good in a way other out of season fruit tends to not be. But, of course, any jam you make will be extra wonderful using ripe, in-season fruit if you can wait for it.

    For what it’s worth I enjoyed the new chill quiet luxury of season 2. Do whatever you want, this channel is free.
  • @CB-cl7ru
    I have to say, every new Home Movies starts to feel more and more like the Home Movies of yesteryear. Not sure if it was just a rocky start or you’ve been able to take feedback into account, but either way, I appreciate the content!
  • Alison, this biscuit recipe is famous in my friend group. I've started hosting a quarterly Sunday morning Biscuit Party at my apartment. It's BYOJam. It's now an anticipated event. Thank you for writing and sharing
  • For what it's worth... your videos are getting better again with the new format. The "real" (??) Alison is showing through.. not too serious, just super real. LOVE it 💕
  • @akastardust
    Every home movie has a quotable quote. Today's is: "I love gingham and I'm not afraid who knows it."
  • @lisaanderson135
    Please, please, please do a video on canning! It’s something I would love to learn. My mom and grandmother used to make it all the time, but I lost my mom in 2016 and she was only 66.
  • @user-zb2op3gb2s
    No joke, I was thinking of you and biscuits yesterday. I really need a biscuit recipe that won't fail and I recalled your interview mentioning you had made a ton of biscuits in the past, and I was like, I wish Alison Roman had a recipe for this!!! THANK YOU!!
  • @kw2782
    It's almost creepy how much I believe you can read my mind! Every time I have a craving you post the most delectable recipe. Thank you so much for continuously and generously sharing with us, it really means the world to me!
  • @JPKoutloud
    I really appreciate the story telling here. More please.
  • @zoelfages7176
    Just have to say, I made the Only Pie Crust this past weekend for a strawberry galette. The strawberries were amazingly sweet and juicy and I thought for sure the bottom of the crust was going to be soggy. Well, happy to report it was perfect! Love that recipe!
  • @Spielthet
    I just recently came across your channel and I can watch your channel for hours. You’re so natural in front of the camera and like the authenticity and how you show us it doesn’t matter what kitchen you have or how small we can still cook delicious food. You have become one of my favorite chefs…..I luvv both you and Molly Baz…….. I am going to make a few of your side dishes for thanksgiving this year
  • @SamVanderWielen
    Why people think the way you edit and produce your (free to them) videos is up for their input is beyond me. People don’t watch an episode of White Lotus and then contact the director and say, “but I wish you’d film it this way instead.” Same rules apply here, people. Also, I love watching you evolve and grow. You’ve changed over the years because you’re human and that’s sort of what we’re supposed to do, no?
  • @breadwright
    A+++++ on the bake and color. Gorgeous! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
  • @willcookmakeup
    Yay!!!!! Having the worst day and needed a pick me up. Your videos always do that. And I'm deff going to make these next week when I move into my new kitchen.
  • @AllieHeatherly
    Love these home movies! Love ur attitude! & love that I am actually learning from you.
  • I love your videos. I learn so much from you, despite having gone to culinary school. The icon and legend that you are — don’t ever change. 😊
  • @10stratton
    Wonderful, love your sincerity with a twist! Also, love the food❤
  • @zoonybear
    Holy moly. Made these biscuits exactly as directed and...just wow. My previous go-to biscuit recipe has been officially replaced! Can't wait to try the jam in a few weeks when peach season starts in a few weeks. Love how you just gave us a framework for jam with any fruit that is available. Thanks for these videos! Love them all the ways.
  • I made them today and they are delicious. Thank you for amazing recipe.
