White Lily Biscuits

Hubby and Sissy will eat homemade or canned biscuits. I do not like canned biscuits at all but I will fix them occasionally for them. When I want to eat biscuits, I always fix them using the recipe below. This recipe came from White Lily Flour.

First of all, measure 2 c. self-rising flour in a bowl. Cut in 1/4 c. shortening. (I use a pastry blender.)



Blend in 3/4 c. + 1 T. buttermilk and stir until dough leaves the sides of the bowl.



Knead gently 2 or 3 times on a lightly floured surface. Roll dough about 1/2 inch thick. Cut without twisting cutter.



Place in pan with sides touching. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.



I usually melt about 1/2 to 1 T. butter and brush the tops with butter as soon as they come out of the oven.



Enjoy!!

Yum! Yum!

    I just love biscuit recipes I try them all. It's hard to believe how much difference a tb of butter or shortening can make. Yours looks really good I'll try them tomorrow.

    Can you make these using 'all purpose' flour and adding baking powder or something?

    Visitor, thank you for stopping by. You can use all purpose flour but I only use self rising so I am not sure of the amounts of baking powder and salt to use. You could probably google it to find out.
