My Grandmother taught me how to make biscuits way before I was even a teenager. This is the only recipe I have ever used and they are always a hit.
Ingredients
- 3 c
- self rising flour
- 1/2 c
- lard
- pinch
- sugar
- 3/4 c
- buttermilk, possibly more
- 2 Tbsp
- melted butter
How to Make Southern Buttermilk Biscuits
- 1Cut lard into flour using a pastry blender or two forks, and add the pinch of sugar. Add enough buttermilk to make a soft dough and knead until smooth (do not over knead as this will lend a tough biscuit).
- 2With floured hands pinch off a bit of the dough and roll into a ball, lightly flatten in a greased iron skillet or pan. Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for 15-18 minutes. Brush with melted butter when removed from the oven.
