Image Credit: http://tinyurl.com/m6tczol My grandma made the best buttermilk biscuits ever! They were the best with gravy, or with a pat of butter and smear of preserves. We made little sandwiches out of them with eggs and bacon long before McDonald's ever thought of the idea. Below is her recipe, the only change I made is to substitute shortening for lard, since lard isn't readily available these days.
Ingredients:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 475 degrees
To keep fats intact, prepare the dough quickly and cut and bake asap
Mix all ingredients except buttermilk, until crumbly
Pour in buttermilk and work into dough; it will be sticky
Roll lightly to 3/4" thick, on a floured surface
Cut out circles with a soup can
Grease a cookie sheet and drop rounds about 1/2 inch apart
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I always have.
