biscuits from scratch
My husband loves flat and golden brown homemade biscuits. I've tried many recipes over the years and came across yet another recipe in a church cookbook that I decided to try. The submitter said that she found this recipe in a newspaper so I thought I would make them this morning and am glad I did. My husband loved them so I'll make this recipe again.

How To Make biscuits from scratch
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 475. Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together and combine well. Make a hole in center of flour mixture and add in the shortening. Gradually add in the buttermilk mixing with a fork to break up the shortening. Now start combining well with hands until dough comes together and is smooth.

Step 2Pinch off and roll in hands and place (biscuits touching) on greased cooking stone (or pan). Press down with knuckles a bit. Bake at 475 for approximately 10-12 minutes or until desired browness.
-
Step 3Note: Any solid shortening is fine to use, even the butter crisco. In these biscuits I used Lou Ana Coconut Oil, which is actually solid shortening. *You may have to add a little more buttermilk if needed.
