Categories     Bread     Bake     Quick & Easy

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 t. unsalted butter
5 T. vegetable shortening
1 1/2 c. self-rising flour
2/3 c. plus 1 T. buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400. Place the butter in a cast iron skillet. Place the skillet in the oven for 5 minutes to melt the butter. In a mixing bowl, crumble the shortening with the flour. Add the buttermilk and mix until incorporated. Dough will be sticky. Turn onto floured surface, lightly flour, and roll out into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the biscuits into 2 1/2-3 inch circles. Dip each biscuit in the melted butter and arrange in skillet. Bake in the oven on the middle rack for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Turn on the broiler, transfer to top rack, and bake for 3 or 4 more minutes (really watch them when broiling or just skip the broiler).
