Recipe Introduction


Slather with sweet butter and honey.


List of Ingredients




2 C White Lily Self-Rising Flour
1/2 t baking soda
1/4 C shortening
3/4 C buttermilk or more as needed

Recipe



Preheat oven to 500 degrees.Measure flour into bowl by spooning into cup and leveling off. Cut in shortening until like coarse crumbs. Blend in just enough milk with fork until dough leaves sides of bowl. Too much makes dough too sticky to handle and too little makes biscuits dry. Knead gently on lightly floured surface a few times.Roll dough about 1/2" thick. Cut without twisting cutter. Bake on ungreased baking sheet.
NOTE: Always handle dough gently and use as little extra flour for kneading and rolling as possible for tender biscuits.
