Buttermilk Biscuits

I love biscuits and gravy. My great grandmother made the best biscuits, but she made them with sourdough. I have tried lots of recipes, but this one comes most near to the tenderness and taste I enjoy. Hope you will enjoy too.

Ingredient

Food ration :

20 servings

Cooking time :

15 mins

3 cups

White Lily self-rising Flour

1/2 cup

Crisco shortening

1 tbsp

baking powder

3/4 cup

buttermilk

1/2 stick

butter (melted)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat oven to 500 degrees

* Step 2

In large mixing bowl sift flour with baking powder. Cut in the shortening and work in with hands until you have beads of flour mixture.

* Step 3

Add buttermilk into flour mixture. Stir with wooden spoon until all flour is wet. Again work with hands to until dough is ready to pour out and cut.

* Step 4

Place dough on floured surface and either press out or roll with rolling pin to about 3/4 inch tall. Cut with biscuit cutter and place on greased cookie sheet. Place biscuits next to each other for maximum rise.

* Step 5

I allow biscuits to rest for 5-10 minutes prior to popping in oven. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.

* Step 6

When you first pull out of oven brush with melted butter. Enjoy.

* Step 7

I know some will ask why use self-rising flour and then add baking powder. I have found through testing that this recipe gives maximum rise and tenderness to the biscuits. You may find through your own trial and error that you prefer less rise and/or a more firm biscuit.
