Buttermilk Biscuits
"I got this recipe from my 4-H days. I've tweaked the instructions a little, and am always pleased with the result."
- Ready In:
- 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Yields:
-
12 biscuits
- Serves:
- 12
ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1⁄4 cup shortening
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3⁄4 cup buttermilk
directions
- Set aside 1/4 cup of the flour.
- Cut shortening into remaining flour.
- Add soda to buttermilk, and stir into flour mixture.
- Use the 1/4 cup flour you set aside to flour board or counter and knead the dough.
- When the dough is easier to work with, roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick. (Don't knead long at all, it will make the biscuits tough.).
- Cut with floured round cutter. Bake at 400 degrees F until brown - about 10-12 minutes.
- NOTE: I have made these ahead and refrigerated or frozen them.

PAC2009: Delicious - YUMMY!! I cannot believe how easy these were to make!! I can't wait to make them again! -
I chose this recipe for Pick A Chef and am so glad I decided to make these! My daughter said these were the only biscuits she would eat from now on. The biscuits were super easy to make and baked up so light and fluffy. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I'm a stay-at-home mom, school volunteer, church volunteer, etc., and I live in Middle Tennessee. I like to read, visit the mountains, crochet, cook, etc. My favorite cookbook at this time is Recipe Hall of Fame Quick & Easy Cookbook. My passions are raising children with good moral character, being a good Christian, and food! My pet peeves are recipe instructions that leave out what to do with one of the ingredients, and people who won't put their shopping carts in the cart corrals! I have twin daughters who are in their second year of college and a son who is 16. My girls' college is close enough that I can come by every couple of weeks or so. When I tell them I'm coming, they ask Are you bearing baked goods?. Usually, I am, to the excitement of their suitemates!
