Biscuits

After eight years of marriage, and many unsuccessful attempts at biscuits, I have finally succeeded!!! I owe a huge Thank you to Trisha Yearwood...not that we are personal acquaintances, but her show has changed my "cooking life".

Biscuits: (follow exactly)
2 cups self rising flour
3/4 cup buttermilk
4 tablespoons Crisco

Preheat Oven to 450 degrees
Sift 2 cups of flour into a large mixing bowl. Put in 4 tbs Crisco in the flour. Use a fork to cut the Crisco into the flour. It will form a meal like texture. Add buttermilk and mix, dough will form. Sprinkle a little flour on your working area. Roll out dough. Use a biscuit cutter ( I use a small mason jar). Lightly grease and flour a 9 inch cake pan. For crispy biscuits place 1 inch apart, for softer biscuits allow them to touch. I actually use a Pamper Chef pizza stone to cook these. I also place my touching because I like soft biscuits. It will make between 12-15 depending on size.

I cook for 14-15 minutes (until golden brown on top). My oven cooks fast.

My husband and son love these and ask me to make them often!!! :)
