Recipe ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup buttermilk
- Lump of solid shortening the size of a walnut
Recipe method
- Place flour in a large mixing bowl.
- Push the flour to the sides of the bowl to form a depression in the center.
- Place the shortening and a little of the milk in the center and start stirring with a big spoon.
- When the shortening is blended, add the rest of the milk, mixing jut until blended and dough forms a ball.
- Place wax paper on a flat surface and sprinkle it with flour. Roll the dough out on the wax paper.
- Do not handle the dough any more than you have to as it makes the biscuits tough.
- The less you handle it and the more moist the dough, the better the biscuits will be.
- Pat dough gently until it is about 1 1/2 inches thick.
- Cut out biscuits and place them in a greased pan.
- Be sure the pan is small enough so that the biscuits are touching.
- Bake in a 400 degree F oven until biscuits are light brown.
