This is an old recipe-I will not tell where from-but it is 1960 original Kentucky biscuit scaled down from an original I have. It is absolutely to die for. You will never make another biscuit after this. Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup shortening |
1 cup buttermilk (if out of buttermilk,just add a tablespoon of vinegar to cup of milk and mix,works fine) |
Directions:
1. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Cut in shortening.
3. Add buttermilk; mix well.
4. As told in recipe, look for a texture like velvet . If sticky, dust with flour and work till smooth as velvet and either roll out by hand or on a floured surface 1/2-inch thick and cut.
5. Bake at 450°F for 15-25 minutes on a lightly sprayed pan. Depending on oven, just make it golden brown. (Brush tops of biscuits with butter when you take them out of oven for a nice finish and taste).
