MY GRANNY'S OLD-FASHIONED BISCUITS
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.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425*F Prepare baking sheet with liner or non-stick foil and set aside. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder & cream of tartar. Mix well. Toss in cubed butter. I like to take my stick of butter (3/4 cup) and cut it length wise, then turn it on it's side and cut it lengthwise again. You'll have 4 long pieces now. Then slice it and crumble butter into flour mixture. Using a pasty blender or forks, mix butter into flour. Don't over due it. You want to still see chunks of butter so don't mix it so well that you don't see them. In a small bowl, combine milk and egg - mix well. Add milk mixture into butter mixture and mix well. Spread additional flour onto a counter. Put biscuit mixture onto flour surface. Sprinkle biscuit dough with flour and roll out until 3/4 - 1 inch thick. You should see chunks of butter still in dough. Using the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and transfer to a prepared cookie sheet. Bake in oven for 10 - 15 minutes or until golden color. Serve immediately and enjoy!
OLD-FASHIONED BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
Southerners know their biscuits and we loved these. These homemade buttermilk biscuits are the easiest we've ever made. They are very light and fluffy, almost air-like. As they're baking, the smell is amazing. A big smear of butter and these are melt in your mouth good. Top with your favorite jam. Sausage gravy wouldn't be too...

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.

BONNIE'S OLD FASHIONED BISCUITS
This is my go-to biscuit recipe. This Old Fashioned Biscuit recipe makes 6 nice tall and flaky biscuits. Hubby likes a biscuit that is not doughy, and this one is perfectly done in the middle. Perfect with gravy or butter and blackberry jam. Excellent with stew or soup. Makes a great breakfast sandwich, too! Hope you enjoy this recipe!

Steps:
- Before you begin, make sure all ingredients are ice cold, and make the biscuits quickly and get them into the oven before they heat up. That is the secret of a tall and flaky biscuit. Of course, not handling them too much and the addition of cream of tartar is important, too. I use a parchment lined 9X13 metal baking pan for my biscuits. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Bake about 15 minutes until golden brown or a little darker, like mine. This recipe makes 6 large biscuits.
- # Flour a cutting board. # Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. # Mix the egg with the buttermilk in a small bowl, and keep it in the fridge. # Use a pastry cutter to cut the ice cold grated butter into the dry ingredients until it is the size of a pea. You will see little "peas" of butter in the flour. (just like you do when making pie crusts) # Now add the cold milk and egg mixture to the flour and butter. # Gently mix it quickly with a wooden spoon, (over handling makes biscuits tough.) # Turn out on the floured cutting board, and flour your hands. # Knead lightly, and pat the dough with your hands to a thickness of one inch. # Cut with a large biscuit cutter. # Place biscuits in the parchment lined pan. Bake about 15 minutes in the hot oven, and brush tops with butter before serving. Enjoy!
OLD-FASHIONED CATHEAD BISCUITS RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500° F. If desired, prepare a floured work surface. I just did everything in the bowl the dough was mixed up in. Whisk together in a mixing bowl, the flour, baking powder, and baking soda until well combined. Make a well in the center and add the shortening and buttermilk; using your hands, squeeze the shortening into the buttermilk until well blended, then start to work in the flour mixture just until incorporated. Don't overwork the dough. Wash the dough off your hands. At this point, I sifted flour lightly over the dough in the bowl then picked it up and sifted a little in the bottom of the bowl. Then I squeezed or pulled off a piece of dough about the size of a lemon, rolled it around a few seconds between my palms, then placed it on a baking sheet. If preferred, you can just turn dough out onto a floured work surface; sprinkle top and sides lightly with flour, enough that you will be able to handle the dough without it sticking to your hands. Flour your hands as well. Pull off a piece of dough about the size of a lemon; roll it around a time or two in your palms then place it on a baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining dough. (I got 6 large catheads). Bake biscuits for 10-12 minutes, or until tops are lightly browned. Remove from oven and butter tops of biscuits, if desired, and serve immediately.
