I got this recipe in a church cookbook years ago and have been making them ever since. They are extremely tender with a flavor that no store bought biscuit could ever come up with. Makes breakfast or any meal special. (And they are so easy too)

My grandmother used to make this recipe every Saturday with home baked beans. She would use tenderfake lard. I have changed the lard to butter or Margarine, hence the name buttery biscuit.
