OLD-FASHIONED BISCUITS (FROM MY GREAT RECIPE CARDS)

These are really good - but sometimes in my oven 15 minutes is not quite enough so watch closely to make sure they are not underdone and when adding a couple minutes make sure they don't become overdone.

MY GRANNY'S OLD-FASHIONED BISCUITS



My Granny's Old-Fashioned Biscuits image

A simple, basic buttermilk biscuit with minimal ingredients. It's an old-fashioned recipe everyone should have handy. If you follow Elaine's directions, once baked the biscuit is perfectly flaky and fluffy with a little tang from the buttermilk. They're melt-in-your-mouth good.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 c self-rising flour (Martha White or White Lily for best results)
1/4 c lard or shortening (about egg-sized and very cold)
1 c very cold buttermilk (may need to adjust amount)
3 Tbsp melted shortening or butter

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Heavily grease a large cast-iron skillet or biscuit pan and set aside. (I prefer the cast iron skillet).
  • 2. Put the flour into a large bowl and add lard/shortening.
  • 3. Cut into flour using the usual pastry method.
  • 4. Add buttermilk and mix with fork or hands.
  • 5. Mix into a light dough.
  • 6. Turn dough onto a floured board and knead a couple of times.
  • 7. Pat dough to flatten to about 1/2 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter, cut dough into biscuits.
  • 8. Place cut biscuits in the prepared pan.
  • 9. Pour melted shortening/butter over each biscuit.
  • 10. Bake for about 13 to 15 minutes or until golden. Remove from pan and place into a covered container and allow to steam for about 5 minutes. You may also brush melted butter over top prior to steaming (if desired).
  • 11. Serve hot with butter, apple butter, jellies, jams, honey, or anything else that you like.
  • 12. Special Note: I didn't have a biscuit cutter, so what I did was open both ends of a 4-ounce sized mushroom can, washed and removed the label and it works perfectly.
