Granny's Buttermilk Biscuits

Buttermilk Biscuits

Granny’s biscuit recipe, donated by Mom!

4 cups Gold Metal Self-Rising flour
1 teaspoon of Clabber Girl Baking powder
4 heaping tablespoons Crisco
Buttermilk


Preheat the oven to 450~  Sift flour and baking powder together into a large bowl.  Cut 4 heaping tablespoons of Crisco shortening into the flour mixture until it is the consistency of course ground corn meal.  Add buttermilk until just moist enough to turn loose from side of bowl.  Pour onto a floured kneading surface.  Lightly sprinkle some flour over mix, add flour to both hands and knead lightly.  Pat down to thickness desired and cut out your biscuits by dunking you biscuit cutter into flour before each biscuit is cut.  Place cut biscuits on a well-greased pan (Crisco is best).  Bake until golden.  Enjoy with fresh butter or gravy.
