I grew up in the South and have always maintained a warm, special place in my heart (and my belly) for delicious biscuits. My mother made them often and shared her gift for making this delectable comfort food with both my brother and me. Here's my twist on the biscuits I remember from my childhood.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup buttermilk
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
In a bowl stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in shortening till mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center; add buttermilk all at once. Stir gently with a fork until dough just clings together.
On a lightly floured board, press out the dough into a flat disk. Fold over and repeat 6-7 times to create the layers. Past or roll gently to a 1/2-3/4 inch thickness. Cut with a biscuit cutter (2 1/2 in), dipping the cutter into flour between each cut. Transfer biscuits to a baking sheet and bake in a 450 degree over until golden brown. Serve with butter and honey or topped with delicious sausage gravy for a deliciously flaky treat you'll crave from here on out!
P.S. I even use this recipe to make pigs-in-a-blanket. Follow all of the directions but instead, wrap each biscuit around a hotdog and bake! YUM!
