Honestly...they are light, big, fluffy and won't fall apart. I created these because I ran out of butter and won't make them any other way! "PERFECT for biscuits and gravy"

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
- 2. In a large bowl (do not use a processor or mixer), whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually stir in your buttermilk.
- 3. place onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 20 to 30 times. Roll out to one inch thickness and cut out your circles using a doughnut cutter. You can get creative and use cookie cutters.
- 4. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. Watch your oven after 10 minutes to get the accurate time, I use a gas oven and this was the time it took for mine to bake.
J.P.'S BIG DADDY BISCUITS
This recipe will produce the biggest biscuits in the history of the world! Serve these gems with butter, preserves, honey, gravy or they can also be used as dinner rolls...you get the picture. The dough can also be prepared several hours, and up to a day ahead of time. If so, turn dough out onto aluminum foil that has been either floured, lightly buttered or lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Roll up foil until it is sealed, and refrigerate. Don't be surprised if your biscuits rise even higher because the baking powder has had more time to act in the dough. You may have to make a few batches before you get desired results: desired results equals huge mongo biscuits.
