Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 c self-rising flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp sugar
dash(es) of salt
4 Tbsp shortening (do not melt)
1 c *buttermilk, room temperature

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 475. Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together and combine well. Make a hole in center of flour mixture and add in the shortening. Gradually add in the buttermilk mixing with a fork to break up the shortening. Now start combining well with hands until dough comes together and is smooth.
  • 2. Pinch off and roll in hands and place (biscuits touching) on greased cooking stone (or pan). Press down with knuckles a bit. Bake at 475 for approximately 10-12 minutes or until desired browness.
  • 3. Note: Any solid shortening is fine to use, even the butter crisco. In these biscuits I used Lou Ana Coconut Oil, which is actually solid shortening. *You may have to add a little more buttermilk if needed.
