This recipe is good but still not as good as the real thing..I have made several times….This morning, I used one cup flour and 1/2 cup boxed corn muffin mix….a little closer but still not as good as Jim n Nicks….there apparently is an ingredient that is needed that everyone is overlooking…

I’ve been to Jim and Nick’s many times.. we have two here locally in Charleston, SC and I often say I could have the cheesy biscuits as a meal! Needless to say I was thrilled to find this recipe. I made them recently to go with chicken chili. My fiance LOVED them.. although he says they are more like cheesy cupcakes than cheesy biscuits lol.

I wondered about the missing corn or corn meal as well. Tried this recipe for the first time tonight using all cornbread mix subbed for the flour, and adding 1/4 tsp salt, and using buttermilk instead of sweet milk. Not quite right - next time will do the cornbread mix & flour half & half. Very close & good but not quite “right.” I live just around the corner from J&N Southside - will have to see if I can buddy up to somebody in the kitchen & get the real scoop Thanks for a great starting point!

P.S. The bisquits are so good my German Sheperad dog would rather eat a three day old Jim & Nicks bisquit than a fresh hamburger!!!! Hard to believe but very true. In fact we are laying over w/the truck in shop. So guess where we are eating tonight?

We drive for Southern Cal Transport out of Birmingham. Let us tell you we find Jim & Nicks to be the best. WE ALWAYS Stop there when passing through. We are here now and ate there Sat. night ummmmmmmmmmmmmm so good. We travel the 48 states and CANNOT find a better place. They also have excellent fried green tomatoes that are out of this world. They say they only make it on Mondays. BUT because we never know when we will be there the cook will come out of the kitchen to our table and welcome us there and make us fried green tomatoes no matter what day of the week. GREAT PLACE TO EAT EXCELLENT SEVICE AND GREAT FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I made these last night and I agree with some of the prior comments. I’m a ‘bama girl (War Eagle!) transplanted elsewhere and grew up eating there. First, let me say that the product of this recipe is quite good, but not the same as Jim ‘n Nick’s. I don’t know exactly what the difference is, but I’m guessing that some of that flour needs to be replaced with cornmeal of some sort (my thinking is one cup of flour, half a cup of self-rising cornmeal mix, up to a half-and-half mix; I wish I’d done this, but didn’t). Definitely not corn! Also, I think the mix needs some salt in it, so I added that, and I’m pretty sure the milk portion of the recipe should be replaced with buttermilk (as some others mentioned). Finally, I think I’d reduce the sugar - half a cup would suffice.

If anyone manages to get it just right, let us know!
