Biscuits from the Old South

 

Ingredients:

1/4 c Vegetable shortening

2 c Self-rising flour

3/4 c (about) buttermilk

Flour for working dough

 

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking pan or sheet.

Cut shortening into flour with a table fork until the dough resembles cookie

crumbs. Stir in buttermilk about 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough is well

moistened but not wet.

Turn out onto a lightly floured board and pat gently into a ball and then

flatten to between about 1/2- and 3/4-inch thick (thinner biscuits are

crisper and thicker biscuits have a softer crumb). Cut into rounds with a 2-inch

biscuit or cookie cutter.

Bake in the preheated oven 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Makes 12 to 16
