Alabama Grandma Brenda Gantt Wants to Help You Fix Supper

Every Sunday after attending church at Bethany Baptist in Andalusia – or, in recent weeks, after tuning in to the online broadcast of the service – Brenda Gantt starts making lunch. “It’s a standing thing,” she said. “I always cook for my family.”

Before the coronavirus pandemic, she would invite others over, too. “I love to entertain and have people come eat and relax,” she said. And she has plenty of room in her home, with a dining room table that seats 14. If need be, she can seat six more in the kitchen and another six in the den.

On a recent Sunday, as she prepared the same biscuit recipe she’s been using for as long as she can remember, Gantt decided to make a how-to video. That’s when she realized she’d have to hold the phone with her left hand and make the biscuits with her right. Not an easy trick, but she nailed it.
