southern style biscuits
Many cooks claim to have the real "Southern" style biscuit recipe, but growing up this is how my mom from Alabama fixed her biscuits. I now make them the same way and my family won't have it any other way. They're even better with sausage gravy. The real secret is using White Lily flour and cold Crisco shortening.
